Hi, Depends if there are TDMA/CDMA modems/phones available that you can address via RS232 wit AT commands. I think there are phones/modems like that available. What you could do also is request a direct connection to the SMS-c and use Kannel to connect over IP (if the gateway is one of the supported SMS protocol interfaces, such as EMI/UCP, SEMA, etc)

That is, the SMS service you set up in the US probably uses a GSM modem (any coverage in US?) or a direct connection (e.g., TCP/IP, X25, ...) with an SMSC. Am I wrong?
