How do you do for send a sms alert ?
There are a few ways to do this. In general, they rely on email-to-SMS
gateways. You can either host one yourself:
* connect a mobile phone to a computer and run something like Gnokii (see
http://tools.rebel-it.com.au/sms-transport/ for a script that converts mail
to Gnokii)
* connect a modem to a computer and run something like smsclient (see
http://smsclient.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.0.8z-7/main.html) - this
requires that a local carrier provides an SMS TAP (or similar) service.
* use a USB 3G modem - these usually support sending SMS messages
* use a stand-alone device, like the kickstarter project SmushBox (

)
Or you can use a commercial mail-to-sms gateway - some mobile carriers
offer such a service to their customers for cheap or free. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
For some solutions (eg Gnokii) lack of queuing is a problem, in that if a
messages is ready to be sent but the phone signal drops, then the messages
is lost. In such cases it's helpful to incorporate a mail service that can
retry when a message fails.
