Notification via SMS
list Robert Herron
I currently send Xymon alerts to internal email addresses and to the cell carrier's email-to-SMS gateway (e.g. user-6736c4074df4@xymon.invalid). It works great until the mail gateway or the Internet feed are down. So, I want to send alerts/notices via SMS without relying on email or my Internet connection. What are cell card/stick/phone and software are you currently using to send SMS notification? Robert Herron user-8b27ea4290da@xymon.invalid

I'm using a Huawei Technologies E1750 USB modem with gnokii-0.6.31/smsd works fine just so I keep the SIM topped up

Thanks for the replies. I have some follow-up questions: Anyone using Verizon Wireless phones/cell modem? If so, what model phone/modem? Robert Herron user-8b27ea4290da@xymon.invalid
