Hello,
Have written before but never had a reply. I need my LB2120 LTE modem to send me a message when it fails over to 4g but I cannot find a data plan that also will send a text so it would be great if we had the option for sending an email. Has anyone else found a carrier that sells a pay as you go data plan that will also send a sms message?
Thank You, Troy

This would be a very useful feature. I am using a "Three" data sim in the UK. It does not allow sending SMS messages, so I receive no notification of a loss in wired connection and all my data gets used up.
Long story short, when I returned from being out of the office the internet was running slow. I checked my connection source and I was running on cell data. All I had to do was restart the modem and I was back online. I just ate through GBs of data and an extra cost. An email notification would have been key and would have saved me money.
Please implement =)
I am in Australia and have the same problem with Telstra and Vodafone. SMTP would complicate a simple product but it is quite important to know when one is failedover (if there is such a word )
I am having the same issue and I second this idea. Having the option to put in SMTP settings to send an email would be very helpful.
Where are you based? I'm ion the UK and my EE SIM sends SMS even though it is a data only account... Guess it depends on your local telcos. Worth trying to send an SMS from the modem with your current SIM if you haven't already
