Supported GSM hardware (GSM modules and phones)

Brand	Type	Connection	Band	Tested	WAP OTA, binary SMS	Usability	Desc.	Notes
2N Ateus Compact	GSM gate	serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Very good	--	Allows you to direct outgoing phone calls from your PBX directly to GSM network and send/receive SMSs at the same time. Contains Siemens M20 or TC35 module. External antena with long cable.
2N Ateus Compact / GPRS	GSM gate	serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Very good	--	Allows you to direct outgoing phone calls from your PBX directly to GSM network and send/receive SMSs at the same time. Contains Siemens MC35 module. External antena with long cable.
2N Ateus ISDN Gate	GSM gate	serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Very good	--	Allows you to direct outgoing phone calls from your PBX directly to GSM network and send/receive SMSs at the same time. Contains one or two Siemens M20 or TC35 modules. External antena with long cable.
Ericsson F251m	GSM gatewaz	Serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Usable	--	External antena with long cable.
Ericsson GC-25	PCMCIA card	PCMCIA adapter	900 MHz	Yes	No	Limited usability	here	You need PCMCIA adapter for running PCMCIA card in server computer (description can be found in module description). Windows NT 4.0 has only limited support for PCMCIA cards and they are little unstable with it. Antena is integrated and can't be moved to another position - you may encounter problems with signal reception.
Ericsson GM-12	GSM module	Serial port	900 MHz	Yes	?	Usable	here	External antena with long cable.
Ericsson R320s	phone	IrDA	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Good	here
Ericsson - common phones	phone	Serial port, IrDA	-	-	?	?	here	MobilChange driver probably can support Ericsson phones, that aren't listed here -- but we haven't tested it.
Nokia CardPhone	PCMCIA card	PCMCIA adapter	900/1800 MHz	Yes	?	Limited usability	here	You need PCMCIA adapter for running PCMCIA card in server computer (description can be found in Ericsson GC-25 module description). Windows NT 4.0 has only limited support for PCMCIA cards and they are little unstable with it. Nokia Cellular Data Suite 3.0 must be installed.
Nokia 6210	phone	Serial port, IrDA	900/1800 MHz	Yes	?	Good	here
Nokia 7110	phone	Serial port, IrDA	900/1800 MHz	Yes	?	Good	here
Nokia - common phones	phone	Serial port, IrDA	-	-	?	?	here	MobilChange driver probably can support Nokia phones, that aren't listed here -- but we haven't tested it. Nokia Cellular Data Suite 3.0 must be installed.
Siemens M1	GSM module	Serial port	900 MHz	Yes	?	Limited usability	here	Not so reliable, sometimes SMS messages are sent twice. External antena with long connection cable.
Siemens M20T	GSM module	Serial port	900 MHz	Yes	No	Usable	here	It is older type, recommended for SMS sending only. External antena with long connection cable. Doesn't support receiving of UNICODE SMS.
Siemens TC35	GSM module	Serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Very good	--	The best of listed devices. External antena with long connection cable.
Siemens MC35	GSM module	Serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Very good	--	The best of listed devices. External antena with long connection cable.
Siemens ES75	GSM module	Serial or USB port	850/900/ 1800/1900 MHz	Yes	EMS only	Very good	here	External antena with long connection cable. For USB connection you need to load driver from installation CD (Siemens AG WM USB Modem), which creates virtual COM port. In works with MobilChange using Siemens - generic driver (siemens.dll)
Siemens S25	phone	Seria port, IrDA	900 MHz	Yes	?	Good	here
Siemens C35i, M35i	phone	Serial port	900/1800 MHz	Yes	?	Good	here
Siemens S35i	phone	Serial port, IrDA	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Good	here
Siemens S45	phone	Serial port, IrDA	900/1800 MHz	Yes	Yes	Good	here	You have to set communication speed 19200 bps in your phone configuration. Menu - 8 - 6 - 6.
Siemens - common phones	phone	Serial port, IrDA	-	-	?	?	here	MobilChange driver probably can support Siemens phones, that aren't listed here - but we haven't tested it. All Siemens 45, 50 and 55-series phones should work OK (ME45, C45, MT50, C55, S55).

You can order a suitable GSM modulee at the Datasys company.

Other supported sending modules (TCP/IP GSM line driver, B2B)

MobilChange supports other SMS sending methods either than through GSM modules only. These software sending modules are currently available:

GSM line driver sends using direct TCP/IP connection to a SMS center of GSM operator. SMS are being paid as same as sending through the ordinary cell phone. Advantage: higher transfer capacity than by using GSM hardware, higher reliability. Disadvantage: limited operator's support, for big and important customers only. Notes for this module can be found here.
B2B driver - used by O2 SMS connector. It is protocol working above HTTPS protocol, communicating through B2B O2 CZ gateway. It allows message dividing and using of suffixes for individual users.
