Well Jinx, this is quite welcoming, I must say. Let me just say what I'm up to. I want to first understand how can interface a 12f629 to a mobile phone (hardware part is easy) download a sms message to the pic and then use it to trigger (for learning purposes) one output connected to say an LED. Now I know there are a couple of whole projects out there with source code, etc, but none of them explain what I need to know(basics of this particular process). This is the process: 1.pic sends AT command to mobile phone. 2.pic presses enter. 3.mobile phone sends sms message in pdu format to pic. 4.pic recognises message certain bytes 5.pic switches on an output pin (to do anything) If I am able to understand this then I will definitely try my best to build rest of the program and hardware. I don't just want to copy some design cos I'm not desperate to put it to use unless I can cut thru the above mentioned. Thanks to Tamas as well.
