Which SMS Tool? SMS Alerts from ISP 4G LTE Router

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, I recently installed OpenWrt onto my TP-Link TL-MR6400 v4, 4G LTE router.
https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr6400_v4

The OEM firmware had a feature where I could view SMS Messages.

My ISP sends an alert when I'm getting near my data limit, one at 80% and another if I exceed the limit.

I searched for 'sms' under System/Software using LuCI and found there were quite a few options.

I am only really interested in those texts from my ISP and will not be sending any, so I was wondering if anyone could please recommend which software would be suitable?

I created a couple of scripts, one for Modem manager and another for QMI, to send commands to the router using SMS, and to send alerts from the router to my phone also using SMS.

Are you using ModemManager, QMI, or something else? Do you need a ready-made solution, or are you willing to create your own scripts? What do you want to do with the alert messages?

Thank you @AndrewZ and also @eduperez

@eduperez I am just looking for a simple interface to read any SMS sent to my SIM card no. from my ISP.

I only really have some very basic knowledge so; just looking for something simple I could install.

E.g. I would simply log in to the router and check for any messages; I don't need alerts etc.

Ideally something I could just add from the System/Software menu in the LuCI interface and then view from a menu once installed.

re. luci-app-sms-tool-js

I noticed there is an .ipk file https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-sms-tool-js/releases/tag/2.0.24-20240827 and there is an option to Upload Package under System/Software in LuCI.

Is it possible to install the tool using this method? E.g. download the .ipk then upload it to the router?

Yes, I think so, but I suggest adding @IceG 's repository to facilitate future updates.
