Well you got bigger issues if your net is down then sending out an sms don’t you think? ,besides  what if one of the internal switches or routers died and you couldn’t get to the serial sms it’s the exact same situation the fact is your still paying a lot more for the same service.

 

But hay try drill some more holes in the leaky boat eh..

You realise the purpose of the device is to notify them if services go down, right? How are you going to use your remote service when there's no net access? 'lol :):):)' indeed.

We've just been down this track at work.
 
Until now we have been using the X.25 network to send out SMS alerts, 
but yesterday we received a nice little cellphone black box with a 
serial interface, you can use it to send and receive SMS messages and 
you talk to it using modem AT type commands.
 
It's looking like a pretty good, and cheaper solution, and it will allow 
us to do more.
 
I can't remember the brand/model off the top of my head, but I can look 
on Monday if people want to know. From memory the unit costs $700 to buy 
and then there is just the standard cost of sending SMS messages.
