We're looking into setting up a system to directly receive SMS messages.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest which USB modem would be the best bet to use with SMSTools. I've read the Hardware Computability List to the left, but was hoping someone could point me to something specific.

Thanks in advance.

I cannot give a suggestion for a specific device, but almost any GSM modem with SMS command set according to the european specifications GSM 07.05 (=ETSI TS 300 585) and GSM 03.38 (=ETSI TS 100 900) can be used.

For example some device based on Wavecom chip will work well.
