RE: [SA-list] Setup of SA to send text messages to Alltel Cellular

[Mike McTee]

Thanks for the info.   Alltel has that capability too ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).  But one of the items I am monitoring is our mail server and if it is down, it has to failover to another backup mail server, and if it is a local network issue, neither will work, so this limits sending an e-mail reliably.  That’s why I wanted to have the ability to send via the network, with TAP (via a dialup modem) as a failover.  I’ll probably do the e-mail choice with TAP as a failover if I can’t get network info from Alltel.   Sincerely, Mike       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Weigold Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 4:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Setup of SA to send text messages to Alltel Cellular   I've been using a free service from teleflip.com... just send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they'll handle the specifics to get it to the phone... I use it for Verizon, Alltel, Cingular and GTE phones...  works great!    Of course, being a free service, someday someone will want money for it, but until then...   Mike McTee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dirk – I’ve left a voicemail message with our representative so I can ask him those questions (and hopefully the specifics for the protocol they do support).  If history repeats itself, he won’t return a call… L   I called the 800-Alltel1 and did find info on TAP protocol settings:   877-654-3243 baud 300 – 2400 7E1 Must use 10 digit cellular number   I’m about to try this out…   I was in hopes of a network access type protocol, but this may be ok…   Sincerely, Mike     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Setup of SA to send text messages to Alltel Cellular   Did you check with your provider to see what protocols they support? (tap/ucp for modem based paging OR snpp/smpp for network based paging?)   Dirk.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike McTee Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 9:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Setup of SA to send text messages to Alltel Cellular Has anyone successfully setup SA to send text messages to an Alltel text message capable cellular telephone?  I’m contemplating switching from SNPP paging to this if it works (on the cellular side) as advertised.  Any insight into configuration of this is appreciated.   Sincerely, Mike       Do you Yahoo!?
