The only issues I have had with SMS delivery have been the weekend that Vodafone introduced Free TXT Weekends, and for a few weekends after that, and New Years Eve nights.
They took up to 2 or 3 hours to get delivered (but eventually did get delivered), but normally they come through pretty quickly.
you can still buy cheap $99 numeric pagers. I use a POTS line and get mine to send thru the offending IP address. It doesn't give me too much info, but then it alerts me to an issue to investigate. As an aside - you can also buy numeric pagers with relay outputs. We used to use them to reboot some boxes remotely. Never quite got the NMS to do it tho. Rich
