Yea, i have installed my SIM in the Multitech.

Its wireless account enabled for the SIM. I can see model no as SF100-G in the multitech.

I have updated the firmware and let me know if anything else need to perform on this.

According to the page I referenced
For Models with a -E -E1 -F4 -G -G2 -H -H3 -H4 in the product name:

A SIM from your carrier will need to be installed for network access.

GSM Modem Activation Notice

Before you can begin to use the modem, you will need to setup a wireless account.

Follow these steps to setup a wireless account:

Contact your wireless provider/partner/reseller to obtain an account and/or a SIM card
Provide your activation agent with the following:
Billing information and business ID such as your Federal Tax ID or VAT number.
The wireless services required. You will need to specify what features you want enabled on each account : voice only, data only or voice and data.
Each modems 15 character IMEI number located on the modems label.
You may be asked to provide the modems model number. This number allows the carrier to verify this modem as one of its approved models.


Important: If asked for the model number, give the Multi-Tech Systems model number on the modems label, under carrier information. The device may be approved under an embedded module model number.

Do not give your product or device name and number.

Multi-Tech Product Examples are: MTCBA-G2, MTSMC-H4

Once the SIM card is activated, installed in the modem, and powered, the modem is ready for use.

See product Users Guide for additional installation details.
If you have done all of this you will likely need to contact Multitech

This looks like the setup in Nagios is correct then, I would suggest contacting MultiTech to resolve the sending issue.

This sounds correct because it is items waiting to be sent out. You would only get them in inbox if they were received through the cellular network.

Log into your Multitech and go to
Statistics & Logs -> Log Traces -> SMS Failure Log

And see if we have failures in there.
