The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
We use this
http://www.clickatell.com/ and
http://www.system-method.com/BS/produkt.htm . The two work together and eliminates the email gateway but still had delays in receiving. I am not an expert in SMS but from how things in the SMS world were once explained to me, server providers (Verizon, ATT, etc) have a way to set traffic priority. Voice has top priority. SMS can be either bottom of the list of a little higher if you pay for priority SMS service. Adding the email gateway in the middle slows it down even more. You can use the clickatell without BlueSeries if you just want to send.

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.
