I've tried and failed to get gammu wammu to work. Tried both an old usb stick and and old mobile phone.

Can you recommend any usb stick that works with your program that cost less then $100 and can be ordered from the EU ? It has to support micro sim and both send and receive SMS.

@z3t4 data cards from phone providers are carrier locked and don't allow third party softwares to access modem via AT commands. We've tried with some generic data cards from Huawei and ZTE and they work great

For example http://www.amazon.co.uk/HUAWEI-E3256s-Wireless-Mobile-Broadb... or http://www.amazon.co.uk/computers/dp/B004VU09BU/

You'll have to check for micro SIM support though. I haven't come across a stick which supports micro SIM yet.

Have you tried reaching out to local carrier? They usually provide what you need. (Or do you need multiple carrier, multiple country support?)
