Is there a way to let MetaTrader sent me SMS to my cellphone (through GSM modem or a cellphone that is connected to PC)?

mostly I need the alert when the connection is lost.

Yes, you can if your cellular operator permits to use their SMTP server without calling to POP3 server. You have to contact your cellular operator's support service for more details.

The matter is that not all postal services permit to use their SMTP servers without calling POP3 servers. For example,  google.com does not permit it. You can contact your postal service to get the detailed information.
