It seems that most folks who talk about these services (and the ones that are "good") seem to be referring to services for UK users. Is this something that's just more widely used in the UK and Europe that the US? Anyone recommend any good services for this stuff that would work for US customers?

Their options for formatting the mail for translation to SMS are many and varied. It can split long emails in to multiple SMSs (you specify what the max number is you will allow). SMS replys are fired back by email to the originator (in my case I spoof it back to my own email). You can use their web admin pages to see what texts have been sent to whom. They take either pre-pay or contract payment. With pre-pay, you can specify a list of emails which will get notified when credit drops to a certain number of texts (which you specify). You can put an endofmessage code in the email so the SMS won't include all the legal and marketing junk the corporate email system appends to every email. The feature I really like is you can set up a contact group within the intellisms system, and move contacts in and out of that group using the web interface. That's handy for me as I can administer the on-call rota that way without bothering to connect to the corporate network. The downside of using any of these email-SMS methods is that they won't notify you when your SMTP gateway is down. Ideally I would set up an alternative using POTS or whatever so I could escalate via another route entirely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
