Re: SMS Gateways

Twitter isn't a good choice for critical communications, IMO. Their service
isn't even 99% reliable and sometimes SMS delivery is slow on their side as
well. Also how would you ensure someone will get the message? Through direct
messages?

I am curious how many of you are using Email to SMS gateways for sending
out alert messages via SMS text messages...

We have been doing it for a while using a consumer grade gateway through
AT&T (our cell provider) where we simply sent it to
[##########@txt.att.net] , but lately have started seeing extreme delays

in

the receipt of the message on our phones. We tried pursuing AT&T's
'Enterprise Paging' product, but they will not sell it to us for the
limited number of lines we want it for!

Is anyone using third party or upgraded SMS services in order to avoid
delays in recieving SMS alert messages?

I am looking at RedOxygen and MessageMedia for starters. From what i'm
reading, if you want enterprise quality SMS delivery, this is a necessary
evil and the consumer grade gateways are to be avoided.
