SMS Alerts?

James Ridout — Wed, 11 Aug 2004 06:09:41 GMT

Hi, got SIM running on a server and I'm ordering a modem for pager alerts. However we would really like SMS alerts instead, can this be done? If so, how!?

Thanks

We use the following solution, we have a contract with a sms sending company (http://www.clickatell.com/) and we use their e-mail sending solution to transfer all alerts to SMS. You only need an internet connection on your SMS server and an e-mail client.

Hope this helps you

Hi, just looking at there products. It says I need to include some text in the body of any e-mail which is sent to the sms gateway. How do I include this in my HP SIM alerts?

James,

Do your pagers have email addresses associated with them? If they do (and most text-pagers do) the best way to do this is to send the messages as email to the pagers. This is what I do and it works perfectly.

i see you're in the UK James - you *should* be able to dial directly to a cellular provider via your modem from SIM. There is a list of worldwide TAP protocol dialin numbers (including vodafone & cellnet UK) here:
