Could there be a plugin that can notify an admin, by
using SMS (short message service) messages to a mobile
telephone

    Hi,

    this is already possible, but not via plugins but via
    notification. You can specify a pager email address. Put
    here the email address of a eMail->SMS Gateway and you're
    done. Refer netsaint documentation for details.

    oki,

    Steffen

    usually most cellular carrier companies offer an email
    gateway, to something like
    <YOURPHONEHERE>@yourphoneprovider.com would go
    directly to your phone screen
    i'lve also created a program that sends these notifications
    by accessing the TELEPHONE provider's webpage and
    filling out forms...
    If you are interested in such program, please feel free to
    contact (andre.ribeiro@unesco.org.br)...
    That is... if your phone provider has a web interface for
    sending sms messages...

    But what happens if what you use for accessing your cell
    phone/pager provider's web page (or via email), is down? Let's
    say, your need to report that you only link to access the
    Internet, and/or your nameserver, and/or your email server,
    are down.... Don't tell me it can't happen. Then a application
    to have access to something like
    <YOURPHONEHERE>@yourphoneprovider.com (the web
    page with fillout forms they usually have) doesn't help that
    much.

    Something that interacts directly to a modem, dials a
    (obscure) dialup service on your cell phone/pager provider,
    and then sends you the message, all of this skipping your
    failed network... That is more practical.

    So far I am evaluating yaps, sendpage, sms_client. The
    problem is that US cell phone providers are not so friendly
    with this kind of systems... Anybody has the parameters for
    SprintPCS around there, for any of these apps? Please post
    them here!

    Regards,

    Federico.
