I've used <10 digit number>@vtext.com with my Verizon phone for several years now without any issues or dropped SMS messages. Obviously that's an in-band solution, but it's simple to implement and fairly (in my experience) reliable. -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Gregory Boehnlein Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 7:03 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Network Notifcation - SMS via Verizon Hello, We have been discussing adding a wireless SMS based option to our TAP and SMTP delivery systems. We are running Nagios. In looking at the list archives, I found the following thread: http://www.irbs.net/internet/nanog/0408/0039.html Lots of great suggestions.. In looking at the options, it seems that Gnokii seems to be a well used solution to integrate a GSM or GPRS based phone/modem for text messaging. However, I am trying to determine if anyone is doing this with Verizon right now. Our existing Cell contract is w/ Verizon and so we want to avoid the potential of lost SMS messages in hopping from say T-mobile or Cingular to Verizon. So.. anyone doing SMS notification to Verizon w/ a wireless GSM/GPRS or Cell Phone solution? If so, you want to share how you are doing it? Thanks in advance..
