The NowSMS Lite Edition is a simplified, lightweight version of the Now SMS & MMS Gateway, designed to send and receive SMS and MMS messages using a single GSM (GRPS/EDGE/3G) modem. The NowSMS Lite Edition allows clients to submit SMS messages to NowSMS for delivery via the GSM modem, using either the HTTP or SMPP protocols.
I would like to use a mobile phone or a modem to send short text messages with the PRTG notification system. This way, my messages can also be sent when there is no internet connection available.
How can I do this? What third-party software do I need?

PRTG Network Monitor offers multiple methods to relay notifications, including SMTP mail relay, SMS, and pager. This ensures that users are informed in various ways if an issue (such as an outage or a slow server) needs to be brought to their attention.
However, there are times when the normal relay means do not suffice, particularly if the main leased line used to connect to the network (for example the internet) is interrupted. For these purposes, PRTG includes the option to trigger executable notifications which, combined with the proper external software, can overcome this issue with ease. Using an HTTP-enabled GSM modem is another alternative.

Paessler Blog: How to Send SMS and Pager Messages from PRTG—Even Without an Internet Connection
This article applies to PRTG Network Monitor 12 or later, as well as to previous (deprecated) versions
One software we have been recommending a while is PageGate from NotePage.
The following article provides a quick and easy overview of how to define and configure a PageGate notification under PRTG Network Monitor.
- Install PageGate.
- Create a carrier (e.g. PRTGCARRIER). Specify the protocol settings according to your needs.
- Add a recipient: In the example below we used a SMTP recipient for simplicity's sake.
- Make sure the PageGate service is running.
- Create a .BAT batch file (e.g. PageGate.bat) within the NotificationsEXE subfolder of your PRTG installation directory.
- Input the following text (please ensure the path definition matches the directory used):
Note: The path must match the path specified in Interfaces | GetAscii | Settings in the PageGate Admin tool.
(In this example, prtg_admin is the specified recipient. %1,%2 will be replaced with the notification.)
- Define a new notification within PRTG: Choose Setup | Account Settings | Notifications from the main menu bar and click on Add new notification.
- Select Execute Program from the notification options by marking the according checkbox.
- Add the necessary parameters (ensure that the parameters are encapsulated with quotation marks ' ' because otherwise the individual parameter chains might contain empty spaces).
Example: '[%sitename]' '%device %name %status %down (%message)'
- Save and test.
This method is particularly useful if you wish to ensure the possibility of relaying crucial SMS messages even at times that the main leased line is down and, as such, PRTG Network Monitor is unable to access normal messaging method, such as SMTP servers or SMS gateway.
For the specific steps on how to install PageGate, you'll want to have a look at either of these Video tutorials:
How to install PageGate on Windows XP, Server 2000, and Server 2003:http://www.notepage.net/videos/pagegate-xp-installation.htm
How to install PageGate on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008:http://www.notepage.net/videos/pagegate-vista-installation.htm
Once you have PageGate installed, you'll need to configure carriers and recipients. A carrier is a messaging host such as Alltel, Nextel, Sprint, Verizon, etc. Recipients are individuals that receive messages on the carrier's device, such as a Sprint Cel phone or a USA Mobility pager.
Since the setup for the carriers and recipients can be a little complicated for first time users, feel free to email any questions you have to support at notepage dot com
After you have the carriers and recipients configured, you'll need to configure PageGate's GetAscii module as referenced in PRTG's configuration steps above. For a more detailed look at the PageGate side of those steps, please have a look at this video tutorial:
After the GetAscii module has been configured, the final step is to switch PageGate's run style to a Windows Service. To do so, please have a look at this video tutorial:

Paessler Blog: How to Send SMS and Pager Messages from PRTG—Even Without an Internet Connection
Some users reported they successfully use the software Mobile Master by vendor Jumping Bytes in combination with inexpensive GSM modems. Using the 'Corporate Edition' of this product with the additional option 'SMS Servant' you can send SMS messages on Windows command line, simply withSMS number messageUsing this functionality, they send SMS messages via PRTG's Execute Program notifications. You should be able to set up such a solution for 100 EUR incl. GSM modem.
Using the MWconn Freeware you can realize the transmission of IP-independent notifications from PRTG to your mobile phone both easy and cheap.
PRTG drops text files to a specific folder, and MWconn automatically collects them and sends the content to your mobile phone, using a GSM modem.
We successfully tested this with inexpensive hardware. For a very detailed example, including screenshots and a link to a list of supported hardware, please see the Paessler blog:
The Kentix AlarmManager-PRO has an embedded GSM modem which can send text messages via the mobile network. It is controlled by an HTTP interface. Using this device, SMS text message functionality via GSM can be integrated easily with PRTG.
The big advantage of this solution: You will not need to configure an executable notification, but the Kentix box will integrate directly with the existing HTTP SMS functionality of PRTG! Nevertheless, messages are sent natively (and reliably) via the GSM network (and not via an SMS provider on the internet).
For details, please see:
With the Braintower SMS Gateway you can send notifications as SMS text messages from PRTG. For this, PRTG uses an HTTP API call to the gateway. You can set up this functionality in a quick and easy way.
You will not have to configure an executable notification, but the Braintower SMS Gateway will integrate directly with the existing HTTP SMS functionality of PRTG. So, even if the internet connection is interrupted, you will be able to receive notifications nevertheless.
For details and further instructions, please see this article:
I have found another way.
You can use a Mikrotik RB411U which has a built in Sim card slot.The Mikrotik itself can use netwatch to monitor your PRTG servers and if the server goes down, it will send an SMS.
PRTG can use Powershell and the SSH.NET library found here:http://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/SSH_from_PowerShell_using_the_SSH.NET_library
The script will use SSH to communicate to the Mikrotik and forward variables generated in the notification section to the Mikrotik.
You can then create a central SMS gateway within your network that multiple PRTG servers can reach and in turn will alert you if connectivity to the PRTG server goes down.
To get notifications even if your internet connection fails, you can use the SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway as a perfect add-on for PRTG. Just set up SMSEagle in your network and provide the corresponding HTTP API call in the SMS notification delivery settings of PRTG. You can also integrate the SMSEagle hardware device into your monitoring to ensure your notification system works.
For details about SMSEagle and further instructions for using it with PRTG, please see this article:
I understand PageGate works, but has anyone used Notepager Pro? For $35. us it is MUCH cheaper than having to buy 5 licenses for PageGate @ $250.00 US.

SMS can be sent by the following means:
Send Sms Using Gsm Modem User
Using a cellular modem
Both CDMA and GSM are supported. SMS can be configured for both outgoing and incoming SMS. Incoming SMS can be used for alarm acknowledgement, Tag value change or query, report generation and more…
Supported modems
Sierra Wireless Airlink® RV50 4G (Ethernet modem) Dual SIM support, GSM & CDMA
Sierra Wireless AirLink LS300 3G (Ethernet modem) , GSM & CDMA
Sierra Wireless AirLink FX100 (Serial/USB) – GSM 3G – USB + Serial
Sierra Wireless GL6110 (USB), GSM 2G
Sierra Wireless GL6100 (Serial) GSM 2G
Cinterion/Gemalto BGS5T, MC52iT / MC55iT, TC65T – GSM 2G
MultiTech MultiModem GSM (USB or serial) – GSM 2G
Bidirectional SMS
UCME-OPC™ allows two-way SMS between recipients (such as technicians, field engineers or managers) and the control system. Recipients receive alarm notifications yet can also change set-points, acknowledge alarms, execute programs and scripts, and a range of other actions – directly from their cell phone.
Escalation using SMS and a cellular modem
UCME-OPC™’s sophisticated escalation procedure is a customizable alarm delivery feature that sends alarms to alternative recipients. When a recipient acknowledges the alarm, further, unnecessary repeat alarm notifications are prevented – reducing nuisance alarms and reducing costs. Alarms can be configured so that they are sent with a time delay between each SMS. Once and alarm is acknowledged or ended, the escalation may be stopped. If no acknowledgment is received, UCME will continue with the escalation reaching higher recipient levels.

Fallback SMS channel
If UCME-OPC™ fails to send a text message (SMS) via one channel (for example: a faulty GSM cellular modem), it will automatically switch to a fallback channel (for example: a CDMA cellular modem). This functionality reduces the chances that a text message will not be sent and as a result, increases the system reliability.
Native SMS via cellular modems – eliminating Internet threats
Send Sms Using Gsm Modem Vb.net
Unlike other software packages that require continuous Internet connection to send email-to-cellular messages, UCME-OPC™ uses native text messaging via cellular modems, which means your control system is completely protected from Internet security threats.
Sending production reports to your cell phone via SMS
Using the UCME-OPC™ Alarm Snapshot functionality, you may receive production reports to your cell-phone via SMS.
Sending SMS messages over the Internet using SMS gateways
UCME-OPC™ allows sending SMS over the Internet using SMS gateways. All you need is to contact an SMS Gateway service provider that will provide you the access to its SMS gateway service.
UCME-OPC™ allows sending SMS using your local language.
