It's completely out-of-band, even more so than our old touch-tone-phone-paging system was, so I'm actually happier with the total performance. Given that GSM coverage is increasing while pager coverage seems static or decreasing, SMS via out-of-band GSM looks like a great solution.
Be wary, there is a fast growing trend amongst mobile operators to outsource backhaul from their towers to IP network operators. So far there are only a few that are using the same network as for other IP traffic, but the economy of scale motivations to combine onto a single IP network are strong and will not be resisted for long.
