Comments on: GSM / SMS Pager? http://blog.loftninjas.org/2008/09/29/gsm-sms-pager/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:14:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Rabbi Bob http://blog.loftninjas.org/2008/09/29/gsm-sms-pager/comment-page-1/#comment-1121 Rabbi Bob Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:17:51 +0000 http://blog.loftninjas.org/?p=247#comment-1121 Check out the http://www.ucom.com services and the ANumerics there. I've been using one at work for over a year now and the things are nearly bulletproof. They support an SNPP connector (Perl->Net::SNPP) and you can script out msgs to snpp.ucom.com, which is handy (even gave a script to my wife to get in touch with me) and easy to use. If you're still in touch, tell desufnoc that Rabbi Bob said hi. Check out the http://www.ucom.com services and the ANumerics there.

Also, my Nagios notifications come from a constantly increasing number because they're via AT&T's email to sms gateway. I've considered trying an openmoko or android based phone where I'll have more control, but haven't put the time into it yet. @Jon,

Windows Mobile appears to only allow setting a ringtone for a caller, but not to modify SMS tones. Also, my Nagios notifications come from a constantly increasing number because they’re via AT&T’s email to sms gateway.

I’ve considered trying an openmoko or android based phone where I’ll have more control, but haven’t put the time into it yet.

I know the G1 (or anything else Android based) will allow you to set it up so that for certain contacts the volume gets turned right up, and an annoying ring tone is used.

Luckily I don't have to bring it home. I'd really like my phone to support a whitelist of known pager sources that would cause it to act like an annoying pager and bug me until I ack it. Some centralized paging software does support that. We use Skytel at work for pagers. Luckily I don’t have to bring it home.

Battery life would probably be at 7-14 days at best, but the rest is all technically possible. Now, all you need to do is track down where all the market demand for this device went, and i'll adapt one of our embedded gsm devices for the masses ;) http://www.usamobility.com/index.asp
