Simple gateway for Short Message Services (SMS) raspberry pi

Using raspberry as sms gateway service, the excess of raspberry is a great ability for a little hardware complexity benefits. a concept of a simple hardware that can run a lot of things. in some tests we have done our raspberry functioned as an sms gateway that replaces the server work.
 
Why sms gateway?
 
- In some remote areas, the signal and GSM networks as the only option to connect with the outside area, but just felt this gsm service utilization for phone and sms. Internet is still rare, confined to densely populated urban areas and even then they often slow network constraints of the existing infrastructure.

 - The reason it is plug and play with minimal power consumption for servers ongoing needs.

raspberry weakness there will be limitations on storage media and ram limited to operating system settings.
storage media limitations can be overcome by making regular data backups. or replace the hard disk storage media that has been adjusted.
RAM limitations can be minimized by reducing the process to install the operating system and only support programs as needed.
