Re: [nznog] Email to SMS gateway

A friend of mine at Vodafone tells me it costs 20c per message received. However, it is not a promoted service and may be discontinued at any time. Dan Clark wrote:

I have investigated options in the past with these types of service, you may need to check that your not getting charged per message received, as this is now possible with the opt-in type of service. Well worth trying though no doubt.

Hi all.

I read this on one of our internal mailing lists, thought it might be of interest / use. We use something like this for server monitoring but it's not so good if your email server / network is down, aside from the potential lagginess [SP?] that sometimes occurs with the SMS service.

Still, it may have some value to you.

Of course if any information below is wrong, please let me know.

If you are on Vodafone, you can 'register' you phone by texting the letter R to the number 901. You should then get back a 'you are registered etc' welcome message.

Once your phone is registered anyone/thing can send you a txt by using an email address such as:

6421123456(a)sms.vodafone.net.nz mailto:6421123456(a)sms.vodafone.net.nz

Where your mobile number is presumed to be 021-123456.

As far as I know, there is no charge for this service.
