Our monitoring server lives in a physically (and geographically) separate data center. We've used the SMS Gateway services like usa.bulksms.com, but we've found that [email protected] is very effective and just as reliable.

As long as the pots lines are up, we just have it ring the on-call cell phone. When you see the caller ID, you know its time to get to a terminal. Usually our [email protected] would follow 10-15 seconds later. Tuc/TBOH
