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.

Thanks for those pointers. The "mega bill" problem is one I have to avoid. We used to use ISDN as backup to T1 circuits, but had to abandon that after some wayward fail-overs resulted in $5000 phone bills. I'll check the plan overage terms carefully!
Sounds like an excellent application for a $10/mo prepaid plan on something like Tracfone. If disaster strikes and you need a lot of data one month, you can add extra credit directly from the phone.
