I hooked up an old GSM with a USB data cable to our zabbix server which is working great.

SMS gateways work fine as well, but what if you don't have internet and want to signal someone. So you either need to check for internet and go with online gateway or send with the GSM device

Both have their use cases. In our case, we monitor remote customer environments, so we can be reasonably sure that we have internet when they don't. The reverse should not be too big of a problem.
The only time that that is a problem is in the unlikely case that both us and our customer lose internet connectivity.
