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?Here we use SMSTools (http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/) on a Linux box with a Multitech Serial/USB modem. It takes formatted text files from a spooling directory. It never let us down since some years.
+1 for smstools. and I'd add playsms.org grab yourself a compatible USB 3G stick which you can switch to a modem. eg a HUAWEI E1762 should work. You might want to look into a device with an antenna plug so you can put the antenne out of your cabinet for better reception. martin
