I've used the txt.att.com for a couple of years and not once missed any
alerts or notifications of voicemail.  I really can't help you beyond this
point.  Though I would yell at my mobile provider if that was my situation!

Sorry!

Well, that's not my problem. I indeed use the email2sms gateway from my
mobile provider, and that's also exactly my problem. I'm monitoring the
MX servers of this gateway and they, unfortunately, go down too often.
That's why it would be nice if there could be some dependency system on
the alerts, so in case these servers are down it will use another
address / script. I guess this could be scripted completely (external
from Hobbit), but why not use Hobbit's ability to determine which
gateway servers are/aren't available for alerting?

phone.  Just a quick Google =)
