I currently send Xymon alerts to internal email addresses and to the cell carrier's email-to-SMS gateway (e.g. 2125551212 at vtext.com). It works great until the mail gateway or the Internet feed are down. So, I want to send alerts/notices via SMS without relying on email or my Internet connection.
What are cell card/stick/phone and software are you currently using to send SMS notification?

MultiTech GSM modem:

connected via USB/Serial port, using ATT wireless.
With SMS Tools 3 as a daemon:

This has been very reliable for several years now.

Thanks for the replies. I have some follow-up questions: Anyone using Verizon Wireless phones/cell modem? If so, what model phone/modem?
