Cell Phone != Alphanumeric Pager Lots of cell providers simply don't provide IXO/TAP service.
And, as you point out, e-mailing to an e-mail address is all well and good unless your report is "Core Router Down", then you might find out about it, several times, after you've repaired it. :-)
You want to investigate using enterprise-level SMS services. We're in the process right now of doing some of that research ourselves, and so would be interested to hear from others.

From the FAQ: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php? faq_id=113&expand=false&showdesc=falseHow can I have notifications sent to an alphanumeric pager? There are two ways you can do this.If your paging company has an email-pager gateway, you can simply have Nagios send an email message to your pager address. An example of this type of address might look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]You should note that sending notifications through email might fail if SMTP or DNS services are down or if your connection to the greater Internet is down. An alternative to sending pager messages through an email gateway would be to hook a modem up to your monitoring host and have Nagios dial out through the modem and send the message using the TAP (IXO) protocol. There are several programs that can do this for you on *NIX systems. Two popular ones seem to be Sendpage and QuickPage.AndrewFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe JacksonSent: Friday, February 24, 2006 2:56 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] TXT Message a sell phone Is there a way to make Nagios send text messages to a cell phone?
