Using GSM module as Backup plan to connect Firebase #103

Hi @mobizt, I would really like to thank you for creating such a useful library, I am thinking of interfacing the GSM module (SM 800) with ESP32 as a backup plan if wifi/internet connection is lost. I was checking this article it uses the TinyGSM library to do an HTTP request. can we somehow use TinyGSM to connect to firebase and update values using the GSM module?

It's not supported and I also reply here.

The 2G has no future and not available in many mobile operators worldwide.

The better solution is to use pocket WiFi Hotspot with 4G/3G sim card if you don't need the voice call, SMS and MMS services.

I dont know if this helps but I faced the same problem, however, I managed to solve it and I have posted my solution as a GitHub Repo
