Re: [nanog] Re: Network Notifcation - SMS via Verizon
The other side of this besides the delayed receiving of messages is with monitoring you want to get the alerts even if your network is down and unable to send via email to your pager, cellphone, etc. Having an out of band method to get those alerts out on criticial alerts is paramount. I've used Nagios for many years but unfortunately have never worked with sending through Verizon. I've had decent experience using Sprint's gateways sending to my phone with minimal delay. Our solution, crufty as it might be, was that our monitoring server has a modem on it. As long as the pots lines are up, we just have it ring the on-call cell phone. When you see the caller ID, you know its time to get to a terminal. Usually our [EMAIL PROTECTED] would follow 10-15 seconds later. Tuc/TBOH

Alternately, verify with VZN that their TAP number(s) are still up and operational. I've received messages through a Verizon TAP-to-SMS gateway as recently as this morning.
RE: [nanog] Re: Network Notifcation - SMS via Verizon
Our monitoring server lives in a physically (and geographically) separate data center. We've used the SMS Gateway services like usa.bulksms.com, but we've found that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is very effective and just as reliable.
