However, always keep your expectations realistic. The library will not teach you about power sequencing, antenna ground planes, or signal dropouts. Treat it as a , not an electronic emulator.

| Feature | Simulation (Library) | Real Hardware | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Instant, always registered. | Takes 5-30 seconds. Depends on antenna/signal. | | Power Supply | Ignores voltage regulator needs. | Requires stable 3.8V @ up to 2A peak. | | Antenna | Not required. | Mandatory. No antenna = no network. | | SIM Card | Simulated via property. | Requires physical SIM with active balance. | | Timing Delays | Sub-second responses. | Real-world GSM responses take 0.5-3 seconds. | | GPRS HTTP/HTTPS | Rarely supported. | Fully supported (AT+HTTPACTION). |
