can we send sms?
davidg:
Hi I agree with what @ppz said. Send an email from your PLC and then have it convert to text.
If @ppz's method works for you then you found a free way to do it. If not, you could use an email-to-sms service; for example http://www.textmagic.com/app/pages/en/products/email-to-sms (I have never used this company but it looks simple enough) Might cost a little $ but should be worth it compared to hardware and setup costs.
BTW if your looking for an easy way to set up email try my tutorial http://www.mymobilehmi.com/#!email-delivery-overview/c1rvg

On http://europe.nokia.com/A4143107 is a document ' Send, Receive and Read SMS with Terminal Program and Nokia 6210 Phone ' which contains all the relevant commands for controlling a Nokia 6210 phone (and Siemens SMS modem) over a serial port. The 6210 is still available very cheaply on ebay. It is special in that it has a genuine serial port and cable available so ideal for Tri plcs. Have fun. William redadair https://www.redadair.com

It was just a things which was some time not available because of that serial port.

If your PLC can send an e-mail then it can send a text message. For example a Verizon customer could be texted by sending an e-mail to 1234567890@vtext.com if their number is (123)456-7890. I am not very familiar with the Direct Logics PLC's ability to e-mail, but the PAC 3000 can (though I could not get the SMTP server to work) and a C-More panel definitely can (I 've tried it succesfully). Hope this helps.

If your mobile phone can be connected to a PC HyperTerminal to send and receive text string as well as respond to AT command then you can use the TBASIC language to talk to your mobile phone. Hope it helps.
