• Use a supported GSM modem connected to the GFI FAXmaker
fax server machine.
Or
• Subscribe to a supported web based SMS provider
We recommend using a GSM SMS modem, since then you can send
messages even when your internet connection is down. Furthermore
you can also receive messages, which is not possible using a
web2SMS service.
