Hi,

email2SMS gateways are less reliable IMHO. I used to use a SMS-Modem in my former company until last summer. I will check for the brand in the archives tonight and post the details.

CU,

Martin

Could you use an email-to-SMS gateway, instead (i.e. the SMS email address of the device you wish to notify)?

Hi,

I promised to send more information about the GSM Modem I used, but unfortunately the manufacturer stopped producing anything alike. I used a FALCOM SAMBA 55 (Old product page at http://www.falcom.de/products/discontinued-items/samba5556/ )

Sorry for the bad news on this. Their modems were well supported and reliable.

CU, Martin

I haven't used these, but using the link Martin sent, I was able to google for USB GSM modem and found these and several others

Not if the Internet connection(s) is/are down. :)

Don’t know if it’s any use to you – but I use a standard modem (on our UPS), down a standard POTS line, to talk to an SMS gateway.****

The software is called “SMS_CLIENT”; I don’t have a download link to hand but I think I still have the tar-ball.

OMG, that's a blast from the past! Last updated more than a decade ago - I thought the source code would have been lost, but found it at: http://smsclient.sourcearchive.com/

I moved on from dial-up modems a looooong time go, replacing with Gnokii and GSM/3G mobile phones. These have the advantage that they don't require the POTS to be working, which might be a problem if a PBX circuit fails. Also, a 3G phone is probably cheaper than a USB modem.
