I need to buy a GSM Modem supports Linux (say Centos), anyone who will just kindly tell me where I could get it?
I have got a contact of a seller from UK, but he said his Wavecom M1206B GSM modem does not need driver for running on any platform. I cannot believe that. Any device needs a driver.

He probably means that his device will use a standard driver that comes with any operating system. Did you bother to look it up at the manufacturer's web site?
I bought the same modem from the website and it works fine on Debian.
The site is correct in that no driver is required.
The modem came with a PDF manual with the AT command set. The modem uses RS-232 and standard GSM AT command set.
This means it works with lots of software as this is an industry standard.
To use it, you just send AT commands over the serial port e.g. ATDT 1234234 to dial a number. You can do this with minicom.
I'm writing my own program since I want to integrate with SMS software. But I'm guessing it will work with lots of other software that is GSM AT compatible.

Hi there Imews.
Just wondering, how did this modem work with SMS?
I am looking at a similar requirement to use SMS via Linux via a modem.
Any feedback on how your job went, and the ability of the modem to transmit SMS would be appreciated.

Just an update on this modem. I bought one and am using it successfully to send SMS messages.
Reason for me writing this here is because this thread came up high on the Google search list for my keywords and somebody else might find this info useful.
Sorry to drag up an old thread but only one I could find with good info, if I brought http://cheapbuyuk.co.uk/forum/7-Wave...m-GSM-Terminal could I use it the send messages to a pager? also what sim card would be best for this purpose?
