For most of us, the issue is that we don’t want to do this over the Internet, since that’s what we are monitoring :) -mel

Depending on your SMS costs, you could also outsource this to a service such as Twilio. As Alan said, RaspberryPi should be able to handle this for under $100 worth of equipment (including the Pi & Cell modem). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -ITG (ITechGeek) ITG () ITechGeek Com https://itg.nu/ GPG Keys: https://itg.nu/contact/gpg-key Preferred GPG Key: Fingerprint: AB46B7E363DA7E04ABFA57852AA9910A DCB1191A Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 11:08 AM, <A.L.M.Buxey () lboro ac uk> wrote:Hi,Today we use a product from MultiTech Systems call MultiModem iSMS tosend SMS text messages from our monitoring system to our on call staff. This is a 2G product and we need to replace it soon. I know there are more generic cellular modems that can do texting if you are willing to put in the effort, the product we use currently though has a simple HTTP based API specifically to send SMS. Is anybody out there using something similar that can work on 3G or 4G networks? we have a Linux box with a 3G device attached via serial port. some local scripts and a lookup table - sends SMS alerts for monitoring to the required people. very basic, very simple. RaspberryPI territory. alan
