Using Nokia Cell Phone or GSM Modem to send sms's Dear Memeber I was wondering if anyone has had experience with connecting a 3g/gsm of the type you can find in Cell Phone Shops to freebsd or a old nokia symbian cell phone via its usb cable to freebsd. What I would like to to do is send sms's from the server using a 3g/gsm dongle or using an old nokia symbian cell ie warning the power is out etc etc I am doing this already via email and a clickatel api account already but sometimes these email do not get through or what ever. I am looking for alternative ways of notifying myself of power problems or what ever is going on when I am not around. I don't want to run off and buy a 3g/gsm dongle only to find I could have easily done this with a nokia symbian cell phone and its usb cable for example. Or if I have to get a 3g/gsm dongle I dont want to buy brand x only to find it does not work with freebsd but brand y does. I have been through google and frankly found nothing really helpful I was wondering if some one on this list has done this before and how did they do it etc, what did they use etc. Regards Godfreyhome | help
