I have a Mega board and a GSM shield. I'm using Arduino's example "TestWebServer". The serial monitor shows that the GSM is connected, and returns a IP.
However, the IP is always 10.X.X.X. Isn't that a internal network IP address? How should I get the SIM cards IP? Thanks!
The SIM card does not have an IP address. When the data connection is made to your GSM APN it is assigned an IP in a similar way to DHCP. Often the address is the same after the first connection as the service provider will link that to your SIM for audit purposes. If you setup a private APN then you can arrange to have specific range allocated to your SIM card(s). This is normally only done for security of volume reasons.
