Re: Cell phone to send SMSs?
I have a few Nokia phones I am looking to sell that might serve your purpose. Contact me off-list for more details. I rather talk voice.

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? We've used for a project that sends/receives SMS simple Sony Ericsson phones.
