Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Paging Cell Phones - USA
Any phone with an email account as well (number_at_telecom.com)..
Most wireless providers provide an email address to the handset(some at a charge). If not, get some sort of 2way device(PDA, RIM,etc)

As of now, it is possible to send pages on the network through the service provider. I agree. I use Sprint Pcs and it costs extra $10 to get a pager service.
As we have several DBAs having different cell phones/providers, it would be difficult to pay extra like this to each service provider. Instead, if there is an universal service provider (like say Hotmail/Yahoo for mail), who would provide Paging service, that would be great! I guess these sort of service providers are already available in Europe.

If you have a cell phone from SunCom, you can send alpha pages to <your_phone_number>@suncom.com

Steve,
That site is wonderful... I wonder if we have such facility in the US,
where mails can be sent to a Cell Phone / Pager Automatically, without
connecting a modem to the Server's computer.
Does anybody know of a similar service, where we send a mail to say
"7031234567_at_xxyy.com" and a Page is sent automatically to the Pager
Number
"703-123-4567" by xxyy.com...
That would be fantastic!

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Hi guys an gals,
We have set up monitoring and alerting, so that should an error/event
occur, then an email is generated and sent to a number of places
depending
on the event. One of these is sending an email to an email/sms exchange,
which then forwards that message to my phone.
Currently I have set this up so that all sms messages are sent to
www.genie.co.uk which is BT's attempt at doing this. The problem here
though is that the turn around time is taking hours from the time the
event
occurred to the time a message is received on my funky little phone. I
feel
this is mainly due to the high traffic that this site now gets.
My question is - has anybody set this up with another site at all? -
Especially with UK providers. I have browsed the web a bit, but it is
mostly sending SMS directly from the web site. Cost is not an option,
the
only real requirement is that it works well, and it works FAST!! Any
messages going through to my phone are strictly urgent! It's just a
shame
that genie doesn't feel that way :~)
TIA Mark
Mark Leith
