I haven't experienced this, but perhaps it's a case of "we won't allow it, unless you pay more for it".
I've been looking for a way to use IP protocols to connect to an SMSMC (Short Message Service Management Center I think) so we can send text messages and get rid of pagers. Thanks to some pointers from the list, I've been able to get some Rexx to do SNPP (Simple Network Paging Protocol) with our paging provider, not yet within AF/Operator, but since everyone on call has a cell phone anyway, there's a lot of support for trying to do this over text messaging instead.
