On that same note, can someone point me in the direction of an SMS gateway service? I would like to be able to send SMS messages from my monitoring systems, but I am unsure about how to go about it.
If your monitoring system has reliable IP connectivity, I can recommend Clickatell. If not, try one of the cellular modem kludges people have described. For my own amusement, I wrote a little hack that takes the voicemail messages that my VoIP service mails me, extracts a few salient facts of calling number and message length, and sends me an SMS notification to my mobile phone so I know to call and pick up my messages. Works great. R's, John
