Re: SMS gateways

There are multiple ways to skin this cat !.

No, not familiar with this product... 

However..

1) You know that you can send sms messages via email to pretty much any cell phone.

2) Personal Preference, if I was doing so, I would do it with a small mikrotik router + usb cell modem, very 
inexpensive, especially when combined with a M2M plan.
