Sms service providers are an alternative to physical modems. In general they offer much higher
throughput than a GSM modem. However, if you use Sms4Domino for sending alerts in case of a
network failure, you should not use the network under test for sending Sms messages.
Sms service providers offer different API's for sending/receiving SMS messages. Smslib always
uses the HTTP(S) interface and can only be used for sending SMS messages.
In order to use this kind of infrastructure you need to register with the service provider and purchase
credits (some offer free credits for evaluation purposes).
