1. A programmable cellular telephone device comprising:

  • a programmable interface for establishing a wireless communications link with at least one monitored technical device; and

    a processing module for authenticating one or more wireless transmissions sent from a programming transmitter and received by the programmable cellular telephone device by determining if at least one transmission contains a coded number,wherein the programmable cellular telephone device is configured to use a memory to store at least one IP address included within at least one of the transmissions as one or more stored IP addresses if the processing module authenticates the at least one of the transmissions including the at least one IP address and the coded number by determining that the at least one of the transmissions includes the coded number, the one or more stored IP addresses being numbers to which the programmable cellular telephone is configured to and permitted to send outgoing wireless transmissions,wherein the programmable cellular telephone device is configured to use an identity module for storing a unique identifier that is unique to the programmable cellular telephone device,wherein the one or more wireless transmissions from the programming transmitter comprises a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or other wireless packet switched data message,wherein the programmable cellular telephone device is configured to (1) communicate with a remote data monitoring device and/or (2) send data to and receive data from an Internet web page,wherein the programmable communicator device is configured to process data received through the programmable interface from the at least one monitored technical device,wherein the programmable cellular telephone device comprises a motion sensor, a GPS Global Positioning System processing module, and a wireless communications module compliant with Bluetooth wireless air interface standards,wherein the programmable cellular telephone device is configured to (1) receive and process data from the at least one monitored technical device and (2) display the processed data and/or to transmit the data to an Internet web page, andwherein the programmable cellular telephone device is configured to transmit data, in response to programming instructions received in an incoming wireless packet switched data message, to at least one selected from the group consisting of an at least one monitoring device, an Internet web page, and a network address.
