Anyone else have any issues, past or present, with this kind of thing?
It takes ~ 7 minutes from the time Nagios sends an email sms to AT&T to the time it hits my phone. I'm using @mobile.mycingular.com because mmode.com stopped working (which results in at least two txt pages vs. the one I was used 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. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
