Thanks a lot for all your answers. For an internet SMS gateway we have a
solutions (yes, we are ip+ customer). I'm more searching a hardware solution
(to be independent of connectivity to the internet which can also fail).
There is also YaPS [1] available, which can use any modem and the
UCP gateway of Swisscom (dial-in with modem / ISDN) to deliver
SMS. I had implemented YaPS at my last job for alerting and the
customer SMS gateway. With the UCP Gateway you can define the
sending number of the SMS.

I could not find the document "Computerlösungen für TELEPAGE® und
NATEL® message (SMS)" any more on the Swisscom website with the
listed phone numbers for such services.
The UCP gateway is available with analog (079 499 89 90) and ISDN
(with V.120, 0900 900 941). The Tarif for the ISDN number was
back then (around 2002) the following, probably has changed now:
The 2.second costs -.30 CHF, afterwards -.79 CHF/minute (in -.10
CHF steps). So a connection duration from 2 to 9.5 seconds costs
-.30 CHF. This information were from Swisscom (Tel. 0800 848 900).
I know, it is a little bit expensive, but independent of any
internet service or mobile phone in the datacenter. If I remember
correctly, there is also the possibility for a 'large account',
if you are sending a lot of SMS this way, which should give you
cheaper rates. Ask your phone carrier. ;)
If you are interested in this solution, I can send you some more
information and even a patch so that YaPS also can use some
special characters (@ sign, Umlaute, ...) with the Swisscom SMSC.
Probably I should once take some time to document and publish
this properly.
bye
Fabian
