This subject pops up every 6 months and it's a problem that can be solved 100 ways. One way we did it at Team Cymru was install a foxbox sms gateway in our datacenter. It was a pain to get working, (mainly due to some miscommunication with the Italian support team), but one we got past a few problems it works flawlessly for all alerts. If alerts are unack'd for a specific amount of time, escalation alerts go out via email-to-sms AND SMS to a broader group to ensure someone gets the message.

We use Zang.io and are very happy. Be careful when using long codes (10 digit numbers) as if you send too many messages out in a day (500+) the larger carriers such as Verizon will start blocking you. As Jeff mentioned if your monitoring tool is onsite and the internet goes down then it's worthless. In our case it's in another DC so if everything goes down we still get alerts. You can also try twilio and telnyx. On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 7:33 PM, Sam Norris <Sam () sandiegobroadband com> wrote:Same boat...

Granted on some days during challenging times it can send 30 or 40 messages before we get to it and get it squelched / silenced, butit'sotherwise reasonably well behaved IMHO and I don't think we are anyheavyvolume sender. So I am trying to figure out why it's blacklisted thenandam rolling snake eyes. If anyone who is an admin for verizon or whohasany insight to share I'd certainly appreciate it. Email to text is a critical function we depend on. Thank you.
