Hi All,<br />
<br />
Our company has a monitoring software that emails the on-call engineer when their is an issue.<br />
<br />
Currently we have this doing SMS 2 email. &nbsp;Which works well. &nbsp;However it is reliant on the email working, which didn't this weekend. &nbsp;I did consider setting up an external system to monitor SMTP, but decided it would be better to look into how to send text messages via a sim card.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have no idea where to styart and everything online appears to be geared toward using gateways etc... which again adds an extra step in the alerting process.<br />
<br />
<br />
So my question is. &nbsp;How can a computer be connected to a sim card and setup to send text messages.<br />
<br />
many thanks

Send Text Messages

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
