RE: Incident notification

The advantage of SMS is that it is out of band. Any smtp or other IP based solution requires a stable and working 
network environment, which is what the alert may be trying to tell you is down.

Nanog list members,

I was looking at some statistic and noticed we are sending out a massive amount of SMS messages from our monitoring 
systems.
This left me wondering if there isn't a better (and cheaper) alternative to this, something just as reliant but IP 
based. We all have smartphones these days anyway.

Therefore my question, what are you using to notify admins of incidents?

Kind regards / Met vriendelijke groet,

Thijs Stuurman
