Voicent software is also capable of sending and receiving SMS messages. In order to do so, you must have a SMS service from your phone company. You also must have a SMS capable modem (different from voice modem) or mobile phone connected to your computer, usually through USB port.

1) A SMS capable modem(INCLUDED IN PURCHASE) or mobile phone, and
2) A SMS service plan from your mobile phone company
The instruction listed below is for setting up Voicent to use Zoom 4596 Tri-band USB Broadband Modem. Please note these modems are different from voice modems.
