Actually, in my experience SMTP to SMS gateways can have significant delays unrelated to greylisting. Travel agencies like Orbitz send out notices about flight changes and delays via SMTP->SMS and as often as not I only get the notice when I turn my phone back on after the delayed flight has landed. >Have you confirmed with your cellular operator that they don't offer >additional gateways; e.g. based on ICQ, HTTP and whatnot? There are third party services that do this. For example, clickatell.com offers a HTTP POST to SMS gateway quite cheaply, about 10 cents a message at low volumes. Having been dealing with spam for over a decade, I cannot tell you how tired I am of people whining that the world better not implement some effective anti-abuse technique because it would cause them a minor inconvenience due to their particular uncommon setup. Spam sucks. Deal with it.
