GPS and GSM modules -- where to get?

Question

Hi, allI am after couple of embedded GPS modules, embedded GSM modules (modem and SMS ability required) and antennas for both.Those are for prototype projects and I need a local supplier who is willing to sell couple of them at reasonable price. Farmell and RS are likely to have them, but they are way too expensive and i will need to find a local supplier anyway for a quantity if projects take off.Ideally, I'd love to get PCB mounted ones.Thanks,Rudolf

Rockby had some GSM modules a while back for around $50...you might want to have a look at them. Or do you want something you know you can obtain the same of at a later date for production?

GPS modules occasionally turn up on ebay but same story, getting the same ones at a later date could be a problem.
