gsm module and propeller chip-how to make them work together

How can we program a telit gsm module to send a text to the propeller chip and receive the text as a code so the propeller chip turns on?

What are some steps we can take in order for the gsm module to work efficiently with the propeller chip?

    You will have to read and understand the Telit documentation. Most of your questions have nothing to do with the Propeller.

    Normally, the Telit module talks to a microcontroller like the Propeller using ordinary asynchronous serial I/O. The voltage levels used are unusual in that they're based on a 2.8V power supply. Fortunately, the Propeller's voltage levels are close enough that they can be directly connected together. For protection from programming errors (like using the wrong I/O pin number in your program), I'd suggest using a 330 Ohm resistor between any Propeller I/O pin and a Telit I/O pin.

    There are a variety of I/O drivers for the Propeller that will provide asynchronous serial I/O. There's also a GPS message parser. Browse through the Object Exchange (obex.parallax.com/) for these.
