I currently send Xymon alerts to internal email addresses and to the cell
carrier's email-to-SMS gateway (e.g. user-6736c4074df4@xymon.invalid).  It works great
until the mail gateway or the Internet feed are down.  So, I want to send
alerts/notices via SMS without relying on email or my Internet connection.

What are cell card/stick/phone and software are you currently using to send
SMS notification?

MultiTech GSM modem:

connected via USB/Serial port, using ATT wireless.

With SMS Tools 3 as a daemon:

This has been very reliable for several years now.

Thanks for the replies.  I have some follow-up questions:  Anyone using
Verizon Wireless phones/cell modem?  If so, what model phone/modem?
