In this forums, you will find lot of discussions on this topic.

You will need to have cellular/GSM modem.

If you connect this to your computer, you can send sms using LabVIEW

Here are the links that might help you

You could also use an SMS gateway. There are various types of gateways, including email to SMS and web to SMS. Some of these are subscription services, others are provided by the cellular carriers to send messages to their customers.

Hello Apple,

I am personally not familiar with the protocols used in pager communication but after some searching I was able to find this thread and the example program titled Sending a Numeric Page from LabVIEW Using a Modem.  These seem to discuss exactly the functionality for which you are looking.

Happy Halloween!

Altough this thread is no longer active, I ran into it in another forum pointing to this thread.

In the past I made an SMS sent function for an PCMCIA nokia modem. Sending an SMS is done using AT commands and should be the same for any modem? See the attached zip file, it contains a LV8.6 project with an example (vis\high level\Full SMS sent.vi) and some documentation (in the zip not the project)

Just a short tip on the previous post... you may like to change the destination number before running the vi. Otherwise it will sent an sms to my phone in the netherlands... minor mistake in the example code.

But at least it is a quick feedback that someone is playing with this post 🙂

Unfortunately the AT command set is not a strict standard but at best a recommended standard. There is an ETSI standard for the modem communication and a special ETSI standard for SMS communication. Most modems nowadays do follow those ETSI standards to some extend, but almost every manufacturer still feels the need to add some proprietary variants to the command set. Such is life!

It's all a personal viewpoint. I find it not so minor and would feel annoyed to receive meaningless SMS messages from all over the world.
