I should also add that using the @<a href="http://mms.att.net" target="_blank">mms.att.net</a> gateway is purported to<br>
work. Googling with the term 'wildcard' added got me that info. I<br>
haven't had any alerts go off to test it yet. I'm patient.<br>

Yup. But apparently, when you get a text from it, it shows up as one entry. As opposed to...<br>

The other AT&T gateway is <a href="http://txt.att.net" target="_blank">txt.att.net</a> which<br>
handles straight text and uses the base SMS system meaning a 3G/4G GSM<br>
data link is not required, only base cellular signal.<br>

...<a href="http://txt.att.net" target="_blank">txt.att.net</a>, which, on my phone from my system, comes in 210-100-100, 210-100-101, which means every alert is a different entry in the app timeline, which makes following the process of alerts difficult. Yes, it's a first world problem, but they all are, really.<br>
<br>
Now that we've ironed out problems with servers (that Zabbix told on) I'm about to add in switches. I expect more alerts, and I'd rather it do them in an organized fashion.<br>

The MMS gateway<br>
requires the receiving phone to have its GSM data link up to receive the<br>
media portion of the message (signalling occurs by the SMS cellular<br>
baseband and then a handoff to the GSM link occurs to transfer the<br>
message data.)<br>

<br>
No problem! The phones have data plans and texting et al.<br>

I use the <a href="http://txt.att.net" target="_blank">txt.att.net</a> gateway all the time to forward critical event<br>
messages (e.g. apcupsd power loss messages) and specific types of email<br>
alerts filtered and rerouted by procmail.<br>

Well, and I have been. I just want it to behave more like a text from a specific phone number or person, rather than 100 different users.<br>
<br>
Long run, I'd love to get a GSM modem to send out SMS. That's one of the reasons I posted: I am going to have to deal with AT&T and corporate accounts and salespeople who don't know the specific need and I'd LOVE to know of somebody who has used a GSM modem on AT&T and the specifics of how they do it. Bonus points for Zabbix use.<br>
