Frequently Asked Questions

No, this project uses the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi's built-in wireless capabilities to send messages over your local internet connection via a cloud API, eliminating the need for cellular hardware.
The board connects to standard 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. Enterprise networks requiring specialized captive portals or browser-based logins may require additional configuration.
Your Arduino sends a standard web request to a cloud service provider, which acts as a gateway and interfaces with telecom networks to deliver the text message to a phone number.
