Notifications from LB2120

I just purchased a LB2120 and am testing it using a Data Only SIM card.  The SIM doesn't allow voice or text, just data.  Does anyone know how I can get notifications from this modem without being able to Text?

    Hello,

    I have a LB2120 and the alerts would not work.  I got a "Free text message blocked" error.  After talking to my cellular ISP T-Moble, I found that you may need a phone SIM so that the text alerts can send.  I have not try it yet,  T-mobile is changing my same SIM account to a phone account on the 27 of May 2020.  I will find out then if that fixes the alert issue!
