Send/Receive SMS from RouterOS

Thanks to our friends from M2M Connectivity for highlighting this useful tip in a recent newsletter:


Using the RB411U/UHR RouterBoard to send and receive SMS

The RouterBoard (RB411U/RB411UHR) can be used to send and receive SMS through 3G modem by issuing some AT commands.

RouterOS lists such modems as serial port that appears in '/port print' listing. The following command can be issued to send SMS:

/tool sms send port=port dst-smsc=smsc message=message

Example:
/tool sms send port=usb3 "04XXXXXXX" message="HELLO ALL"

SMS received by the RouterBoard can be read by following commad
/tool sms print
