Does anyone know the cheapest (or just a cheap one) GSM phone with a
USB interface that is supported by a Linux program to send SMSs?
In other words, I want to write a program to monitor various
conditions and then send me an SMS if they out of the proper range.
I'm looking to spend as little money as possible.
I was thinking of a cheap GSM phone with a USB interface connected to
a Linux system. I no longer have a modem for pager emulation, and
since one of the conditions is a down internet connection, I don't
want to use the internet to do it (if I could).
The question is which phone and what software drives it? I want the
SMSs to arrive at an Orange phone, but I have both Cell-Com and Orange
SIMs, so if one is supported and not the other, it's fine with me if
they will send SMSs to each other.
I also have a ZTE MF637 modem, I know Linux supports it for dial-up,
does it support it for SMSs?
Thanks in advance,
Geoff.
