SMSLib may work with modems or bulk provider gateways. SmsLib may use the gateways for outbound traffic only (sending SMS). A modem may send about 6-8 messages per minute. A gateway could offer a higher throughput. For using the gateway you need Internet connectivity. For using a modem you need a wireless phone signal in the computer room. Sending a SMS via a modem is almost free (10 euro/month for unlimited number of SMS messages). Bulk providers charge per message
