Could you use an email-to-SMS gateway, instead (i.e. the SMS email
address of the device you wish to notify)?

Hi,

 
email2SMS gateways are less reliable IMHO. I used to use a SMS-Modem in my
former company until last summer. I will check for the brand in the archives
tonight and post the details.

 
CU,

Martin

Hi,

I promised to send more information about the GSM Modem I used, but
unfortunately the manufacturer stopped producing anything alike. I used
a FALCOM SAMBA 55 (Old product page at
http://www.falcom.de/products/discontinued-items/samba5556/ )

Sorry for the bad news on this. Their modems were well supported and
reliable.

CU,
Martin

I suspect just about any GSM USB data connector could be used.

I've had good luck with the Sierra Wireless USB305's - I dumped
a pre-paid AT&T sim card in there and it worked fine.

Don't know if it's any use to you - but I use a standard modem (on our UPS), down a standard POTS line, to talk to an SMS gateway.

The software is called "SMS_CLIENT"; I don't have a download link to hand but I think I still have the tar-ball.

It uses the TAP protocol.

Might be of use.

OMG, that's a blast from the past!  Last updated more than a decade ago - I
thought the source code would have been lost, but found it at:
http://smsclient.sourcearchive.com/

I moved on from dial-up modems a looooong time go, replacing with Gnokii
and GSM/3G mobile phones.  These have the advantage that they don't require
the POTS to be working, which might be a problem if a PBX circuit fails.
 Also, a 3G phone is probably cheaper than a USB modem.
