This tutorial allows the user to make a call to different numbers. Each button can be assigned to a number and originate a voice call. Pushing other button, you can end the voice call.

Buy nowThis project can be developed with Arduino or Intel Galileo. It is also compatible with Raspberry Pi using the Raspberry Pi to Arduino shields connection bridge.
For further information about the 3G + GPS Shield, consult the main tutorial.
Connect the GPRS antenna to the shield and then, connect the shield to Arduino or to Raspberry Pi connection bridge. Connect the buttons and the resistors in the breadboard as you can see in the next diagram.
Connect two wires, red and black, to the two long rows on the side of the breadboard to provide access to the VCC supply (5V in Arduino and 3.3V in Raspberry Pi) and ground. Then, connect digital pin 3, 4, 5 and 6 to one leg of each pushbutton. That same leg of the button connects through a pull-down resistor (10kΩ) to ground. The other leg of the button connects to the VCC.
When the pushbutton is open (unpressed) there is no connection between the two legs of the pushbutton, so the pin is connected to ground (through the pull-down resistor) and reads as LOW, or 0. When the button is closed (pressed), it makes a connection between its two legs, connecting the pin to VCC, so that the pin read as HIGH, or 1.
