I've got it set up with a Moxa OnCell 2100 
(http://www.moxa.com/product/OnCell_G2100_G2150I.htm) and SMSTools3 
(http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/) using T-Mobile.

It's nice and simple, has worked flawlessly, and doesn't require any 
third party service providers other than the cell company.

I previously had a Cepag modem and it was absolutely terrible and would 
lock up quite frequently.  My dealings with Moxa have been few, but I've 
been completely satisfied with them.
