Can be used to send SMS, where you don't have access to internet or cannot use web sms gateways or want to save some money per SMS, or have minimal requirements for personal/internal use and such. thanks though, will push to readme

Can you expand some more - does this software connect to a modem to send SMS's to nearby phones? Is this software similar to a stingray device, or am I misunderstanding this?

By modem we mean any GSM Modem device. Like a USB Data Card used for internet access, or a mobile phone connected via USB. You can send SMS anywhere. Software just allows you to use your phone / usb data card to send messages.

It just connects to the cell phone network like any other mobile device you have and then sends the SMS using the standard infrastructure.
