SMS is the most common type of notification today. UCME-OPC™ can send SMS to any cell phone or landline phone that supports SMS.
Older GSM phones often allowed external software to send and receive SMS messages with a serial port interface, but most modern phones do not support this functionality anymore. Purchase USB modem need additional cost.
Am working in a recent project which needs to notify clients via sms. I know there are sms services we can use but my boss wants to try using a GSM modem. Is it possible to send SMS using a GSM modem? Any tutorials will be really helpful.
Send & Receive SMS and MMS Messages with GSM Modems. Using a GSM modem, or an Android phone as a modem, is a quick and efficient way to get started with SMS and/or MMS applications. No special service provider subscriptions are required, just a standard SIM card that has been activated for use with a mobile operator. Use Android phone as modem to send SMS and MMS: Why use Android phone instead of USB modem? Older GSM phones often allowed external software to send and receive SMS messages with a serial port interface, but most modern phones do not support this functionality anymore. Purchase USB modem need additional cost.

Bidirectional SMS
UCME-OPC™ allows two-way SMS between recipients (such as technicians, field engineers or managers) and the control system. Recipients receive alarm notifications yet can also change set-points, acknowledge alarms, execute programs and scripts, and a range of other actions – directly from their cell phone.
Escalation using SMS and a cellular modem
UCME-OPC™’s sophisticated escalation procedure is a customizable alarm delivery feature that sends alarms to alternative recipients. When a recipient acknowledges the alarm, further, unnecessary repeat alarm notifications are prevented – reducing nuisance alarms and reducing costs. Alarms can be configured so that they are sent with a time delay between each SMS. Once and alarm is acknowledged or ended, the escalation may be stopped. If no acknowledgment is received, UCME will continue with the escalation reaching higher recipient levels.
Fallback SMS channel
If UCME-OPC™ fails to send a text message (SMS) via one channel (for example: a faulty GSM cellular modem), it will automatically switch to a fallback channel (for example: a CDMA cellular modem). This functionality reduces the chances that a text message will not be sent and as a result, increases the system reliability.
Native SMS via cellular modems – eliminating Internet threats
Unlike other software packages that require continuous Internet connection to send email-to-cellular messages, UCME-OPC™ uses native text messaging via cellular modems, which means your control system is completely protected from Internet security threats.
