PREPAID ELECTRICITY BILLING SYSTEM

USING GSM
Abstract
The short message system (SMS) of a standard mobile phone can be used for
much more than just exchanging cryptic message. This application finds a humble
mobile working for controlling external equipments. The SMS service provides by the
service providers are comparatively low cost. Hence the system is highly efficient and
low-cost.

Mobile phones have become a widespread means of communication. It becomes

a part of everyday life with ever more people enjoying the service and extra freedom
they provide. It works on the basis of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM).
A subscriber from any systems can access telecommunication services by using a
Subscriber Identify Module (SIM) card in a handset suitable for the network on the
visited system The Short Message Service allows text messages to be sent and
received to and from mobile telephones. The text can comprise words or numbers or an
alphanumeric combination. Because Simple person - to - person messaging is such an
important component of total SMS traffic volumes, anything that simplifies message
generation as well as extended utility of the SMS being sent is an important enabler of
Short Message Service.

We will connect hardware kit i.e. GSM modem and microcontroller to the energy
meter. The main aim of this project is whenever u r recharging with some amount say
example Rs.100/- by doing SMS to the MODEM, the bulb gets automatically ON until
your recharge gets zero. After getting your balance zero your device gets automatically
switched OFF and you will get a message from the MODEM that you have to recharge
your mobile and the process takes place continuously.
