Alerts using SMS

[Leon_19]

Currently I have SIM setup to email our infrastructure team when a critical problem arises. Unfortunately as I found out over the weekend this has its limitations. We had a switch go down to our co-location centre which effectively dropped our SMTP server. Therefore SIM identified this issue but could not send it.

What I am thinking is to configure the paging functionality of SIM to send a SMS message to our teams mobile phones. I have found the Nokia 30 product and I believe there is also a siemens gsm modem available.

Has anyone used these products for such a task or any other product suggestions ?

Cheers
