Hi,
Doing a SMS gateway with perl or gnokii is really easy. Even Gnokii can have a look in a SQL database to get the data to send to sms.
The main problem is "IP SMS" gateway there is on the network. I understand observium team, and really using plain SMTP with small messages can be better to be done than adding an extra code.
Regards

Looks like a http://www.ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=201 may be what you are looking for.

I guess the question that needs to be asked is what is the required SLA for receiving messages. Amazon's offering is good, but unless you have a direct connect to a region you're still reliant on intermediate providers. You can get a broadband connection exclusive for sending these messages to not depend on the systems you are monitoring to be able to deliver them. Alternately you can run something like https://z-push.org/ and do most of it yourself.

This discussion was here before. In some cases, sending an SMS is better than sending through API/Push etc. For example, what if you have network failures and you just cannot send anything through Internet?
You can manually configure gnokii and add a rule in email.inc.php to send an alert via gnokii just after sending an e-mail. You could send only a subject of an e-mail, which may be good enough to get knowledge what is wrong.

its not pure sms but imessage like messaging:
it works really good. besides observium i use uptimerobot.com to monitor availability dsl and cable connections from outside the local lan/network. you can use pushover,net capabilities, the api or send a simple `mailx` command to pushover.net which will forward the message to your ios/Android phone.
therefore with pushover any host who can send an e-mail ( i prefer sendEmail.pl , a standalone pure smtp client written in perl ) is capable to send messages over the internet to an smartphone via pushover mechanism. i won't miss it anymore!

These days I think I personally would favour using an API-based smartphone notification service for almost everything, with a fallback sms-based notification system when you can't reach the internet (and thus the API).
I used to be a proponent of "all alerting must be out of band", but not so much these days. I like to get stuff on multiple platforms, makes things harder to miss (which is more of a problem than the internet failing, ime!)
