[ale] sms via email from a computer

[Lightner, Jeff]

One benefit of email to cell phones is it simplifies sending "pages" to users from monitoring systems such as Nagios and or device specific alert configurations that let you specify to whom emails should be sent.   Back in the old days you had to have something like Telalert and specific SMS connections to the paging companies with which you needed to interact.

By the way there is a large listing at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways

Note that it shows various things for Verizon due to other ventures/acquisitions (e.g. Alltel's old gateway) in addition to the one I listed below.

I know that I can send an email to $PHONENUMBER at txt.att.net<mailto:PHONENUMBER at txt.att.net> and it will
arrive as a text message on that cell phone associated with that number.

Anyone know what the domain is for verison?  Surely they have something
similar?
