Hi All, Our experience with using the e-mail-to-SMS gateways provided by AT&T/Cingular and T-Mobile: AT&T: Messages come through with very little delay (even during alert storms). T-Mobile: 10-15 messages/hour are allowed through...then T-Mobile refuses the IP for about an hour. -J -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu] On Behalf Of Daniel Senie Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 4:09 PM To: Jared Mauch; matthew zeier Cc: Rick Kunkel; nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: Using Mobile Phone email addys for monitoring At 05:29 PM 9/6/2007, Jared Mauch wrote:

It takes ~ 7 minutes from the time Nagios sends an email sms toAT&T to thetime it hits my phone. I'm using @mobile.mycingular.com becausemmode.comstopped working (which results in at least two txt pages vs. theone I wasused to). > Is SMTP to a mobile phone a fundamentally flawed way to do this? I'm beginning to think it is!Some mobile phones you can talk to via AT commandset, either via USB cable or something else. (eg: I have used a Nokia 6230 with
usb
cable.. you can also use bluetooth). If you pay $5 or whatnot for
unlimited
SMS on a el-cheapo plan, it might work better than using the SMTP
gateway
(when tied to Nagios, etc..) as you can send SMS messages with the AT commandset.
Assuming, for the moment, that there's a cell signal available in your data center... Not always the case, unfortunately. !SIG:46e0923b62578058632379!
