SMS-GSM Gateway
This is a bulk SMS gateway which uses a GSM modem or your GSM mobile phone. This is a reasonable and affordable alternative to using costly Bulk SMS Gateway Services. You do not need to subscribe to any SMS gateway or pre-purchase wholesale points or credits. The cost is only the SMS charge from your respective operator for each message sent.
When to use the SMS-GSM Gateway?
You may find that using the SMS-GSM Gateway is more reliable and effective than the Mobile Marketer. Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) cap the number of outgoing messages you can send at a time. With the SMS-GSM Gateway connected to your GSM Mobile phone, you do dont need to rely on your ISP or other mail server. Instead, the SMS messages are routed through the phone and sent via true SMS (compared with SMS email). Suprisingly, you probably already have a GSM phone in your pocket and simply need to connect via USB. On the other hand, GSM modems are relatively inexpensive and may be worth the additional investment if you intend to use the SMS-GSM Gateway often, especially while on the road.
