Hello Folks,
I need to send the output from shell script to range of mobile phones based on their msisdn . Is there any open source solution could help me to do so from CentOS or redhat ??
You will need to use someone's SMS gateway service. For example, here is one with an sh based SMS API (using curl ):
https://developer.nexmo.com/messaging/sms/overview
But there are so many APIs like this on the net, and you should deeply research all your options and various APIs available.
my country is not on the list , what shall I do ?
Check other sites for an SMS gateway service which services your country.
For DIY ... you can get a small ARM board with sim slot with linux installed.
Buy a sim card or make a contract, like for regular phone.
Using opensource software such as Gammu you can program your app to send sms via above little box.
Of course, you can always get a sms gateway service online, as suggested.
Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

You don't need an SMS gateway, if you know the carrier that the cell phone number is attached to. for example:
number=cell_phone_number
carrier="msg.telus.com"
mail -s "subject" $number@$carrier" <email.message"
You are describing an email to SMS gateway service provided by some carriers.
These types of email to SMS gateways are becoming more and more rare these days, generally speaking.
How about this as a arduino project with an sms board?
See for example, from AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32989711403.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.19994049qDak6v&algo_pvid=a84fac8f-6eb2-43e3-8d6c-4ac160f48550
GPRS SIM900 GSM SMS GPRS communication flip card slot replace SIM900 Through neoway m590 for Arduino
Function modules:
1. The computer serial port control to send and receive messages, send and receive GPRS data
2. The single chip microcomputer control to send and receive messages, send and receive GPRS data
3. The telephone type (no voice part can't talk)
4. Ringing output
Current working voltage: 3.7-4.2 V 2 a
The default baud rate: 115200
Or maybe this kit, also on AliExpress?

And here is a basic code example for using the arduino for an SMS project:

Update:
I have been doing a lot of Device / Server <--> MQTT <--> Node-RED <--> Device / Server / Mobile Phone recently.
In that work, I trying using a number of SMS gateway services; and all worked "slow" and delivered alerts between 1 and 2 minutes after the server sends the alert. Furthermore, their customer agreements (for example nexmo) say "up to 24 hours" to deliver an SMS message.
So, I switch gears and switched to sending messages using Telegram, and it works almost instantly.
Device / Server <--> MQTT <--> Node-RED <--> Telegram <--> Device / Server / Mobile Phone
The Telegram module for Node-RED works well, although it can be a bit tricky to set up the first time (getting the chatid can be confusing); but after a short learning curve, this is a great combo:
- Linux server Sends MQTT messages to MQTT broker.
- Node-RED listens for MQTT topic.
- Node-RED processes MQTT topic when received; and then,
- Node-RED sends alert or message via Telegram to mobile phone.
This works well, and is FREE (except for your standard Internet fees, so it is no additional costs for most people).
