I know you can send an alpha-numeric page to a pager via SNPP but I'm
not sure if it will work for a cell phone. We do that in the case that
sendmail is having issues and backing up so an email can't get out.
There is a simple to use perl module. We wrote a very simple perl
script to call the perl module from the command line.
<script>
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# This is a script that can be called from a shell script
# to send a message via Net::SNPP using variables passed
# in by the command line.
#
#
use Net::SNPP;
$snpp = Net::SNPP->new($ARGV[0], Debug => 0);
$snpp->send( Pager => $ARGV[1],
Message => $ARGV[2],
) || die $snpp->message;
$snpp->quit;
</script>
You simply pass the server address, pager number, and short message.

Subject: Re: [U2] sending text messages to a regular cell phone
Any cell phone has an email associated with it so you can do it - I've
set the same thing up here with unix sendmail. For example, I use
verizon wireless and if you send an email to me at 201xxx...@vtext.com
it goes as a text message to my cell.

currently go to our company pager, however the pager is rotated through
our whole department and it is not always carried by someone who is
familiar with our Universe OM system so the alerts are ignored.
