Mobile Utilities > SMS Gateway > Post/Get menu menu missing after upgrade to RUTX_R_00.07.14

[Andrew]

I use the Mobile Utilities > SMS Gateway > Post/Get menu to configure the ability to send text alerts which has worked very well. However today, after updating to version RUTX_R_00.07.14, it has stopped working and all of that menu has disappeared, even though it is still present in the RUTX50 manual for this version.

There is a one line comment in the firmware changelog that “Post/Get - Mobile: removed package” which might relate to this.

Does anyone know if there is now an alternative way to send an sms or has this functionality simply been removed?

Implementation of Read-Only System Files and Mobile and I/O POST/GET Service Removal with RutOS 7.14

Dear community, We would like to inform you that with the release of RutOS version 7.14 in Q2 2025, devices will implement read-only permissions for critical system files by default. This change enhances security and system stability but may impact users performing non-standard operations. Additionally, with RutOS 7.14, support for the POST/GET service will be discontinued to strengthen security. Device functionality will remain accessible through alternative methods. For more details, please…

Hava a peer at the API … it seems that this is the direction that Teltonika are taking.

Thank you Mike and hrtx for your help: the links you provided were enough to show me the way. While not yet fully working I have so far succeeded in using the api to get a token. The next, and hopefully simple, step is to use the api together with the token to send the sms.

Whilst developing, you could use something like Postman to fire off your API calls and sometimes I find it handy, whilst developing, to extend the timeouts …

Thank you Mike.

After a few issues getting the api to work (my fault, nothing to do with the api) SMSs are now working again using the api rather than Post/Get.

A note for the powers that be: the manual for RUTX_R_00.07.14 still shows the Post/Get menu with no mention of it being deprecated, let alone gone.

Thanks again for everyone’s help
