SMS URL String
My router as a two level logon protection and can SMS a code to my phone for verification. For this the router needs a URL string. Here is an example for another SMS provider: bulksms.vsms.net:5567...
To avoid confusion:
What you are describing is formally called an "sms" URI. It is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force in RFC 5724. Other people may informally use other names for it.
The question here was about sending an SMS from a device which no have mobile network service. An "sms" URI (by itself) doesn't help with that.
There is a company named BulkSMS (with no space in between) whose website is bulksms.com. They offer a paid service that will send an SMS message on your behalf, from such a device. They provide a URI format that their customers can use to send these messages via an HTTP request. Other companies with this type of service include Twilio, Clickatell, etc. (In fact the link in your message refers to another such company.)
