(Maybe on some networks, but when I tested some gateways published, they didn't work). But there are many cheap email -> sms gateways, well established, and interfaces built into various things. Although I went the direct route for my system, had I not had a spare sim and dongle it would almost certainly have been cheaper and easier to just use a gateway. But where's the fun in that? :)
These gateways need a working Internet connection, and if it's that that your monitoring, then you're sort of up the creek as it were :)
