I did some checking around in our environment. Here's the deal... It DOES work, but on a limited basis. Anyone who goes through the internal (employee) phone plan or has a family member whose employee plan your number is on, the notifications will work. Any normal outside phone, our network won't allow it. I had a technical answer but it's pretty complicated and would take a long time to explain. So, long story short, only those who have an employee phone plan are allowed to send SMS notifications through WUG to their phones. However since we are the 6th largest wireless service provider worldwide, obviously our phones are used by tons of people. WUG seems pretty popular, and SMS notifications are really useful. I'm going to talk to some people here and see if we can loosen the belt on outside phones and the permissions level in our backend.

Precedence: bulk Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yes, for instance, what if our internet connection is down? how can the email get out to notify us of the problem? I sent this same question to voicestream support and the response i got back gave me an 800 number that when called a modem answers. I cannot seem to get an sms message to be sent from it, though. I suppose i need to know what protocol it uses (tap, sms-tap, ntt or ucp-sms) and connection info, baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity (8N1 or 7N1). thanks, jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hoekenschnieder, Hokie (Tim G)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 3:11 PM Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] sms notifications to a voicestream phone via landline/modem? > Good idea.
