I know a bunch of people who just use email -> sms gateways (although I think all carriers have a disclaimer that messages aren't guaranteed).
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) [email protected] 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, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > Today we use a product from MultiTech Systems call MultiModem iSMS to > send SMS text messages from our monitoring system to our on call staff. > This is a 2G product and we need to replace it soon.
