O2 SMS gateway settings? - I'd like to send SMS from my NAS

Anonymous

Hi all,
I have recently bought a Synology Diskstation, and am currently configuring it. There is an option to setup email and SMS notifications for any problems with the box.
As I'm an O2 phone and broadband customer, I get 100 free text messages to use each month by logging into http://sendtxt.o2.co.uk/sendtxt/action/compose
I was wondering if I would be able to use these texts with my Synology?
According to the Synology help guide, I need to provide an SMS URL;
SMS URL: case sensitive and must be between 1 and 500 Unicode characters. The number of parameters must be between 4 and 10. This SMS URL is only for setup purposes. No SMS message will be sent after setup is completed. The format of this URL is provided by the SMS service provider, and the URL must include the following parameters: username, password, destination phone, and message content. Using Clickatell as an example, a possible URL is: https: //api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?user=TestUser&password=TestPassword&api_id=3148203&to=886123456789&text=Hello+world.
Please note that in "message content" parameter, the space between "Hello" and "world" will be replaced by the particular character defined by the service provider.

...aswell as a username and password.
There must be a way to do this, as I have downloaded an app on the iphone called Jelly SMS, which prettymuch does this, and it worked when testing with my sendtxt.o2.co.uk username and password (deducting from my monthly allowance accordingly)
Please can anyone suggest how I might find the paramaters needed to get this working?
Many thanks,
Stuart

Hi stubs
The Synology Diskstation hasn't been accredited for use on the O2 network. I'm afraid that means that we're not able to offer support for that device - sorry.
Regards
Chris

I stumbled upon this thread while asking a similar question.  Then found a list of "email to sms gateways" so thought I'd add to this thread (even though it is old) to help others (I hope).

 

The site is basic state.
