appears similar to a cell phone. When a GSM modem is
attached to a pc, this permits the pc to apply the GSM
modem to talk over the cell network. While those GSM
modems are maximum often used to offer cell net
connectivity, lots of them also can be used for sending and
receiving SMS and MMS messages.
