OT: Problem with Cingular TAP Gateway

[Robert Hajime Lanning]

This is the reason we have out of band paging (TAP to Skytel).

I had talked to Cingular about the "Enterprise Paging" feature.
This is a grandfathered AT&T feature that costs about $9.95/month.
Gives you unlimited SMS from the "Enterprise Paging" sources to
the phone that has the feature.  SMS still costs for other sources
and sending.  http://www.enterprisepaging.com/

Cingular plans on migrating this service to the offical Cingular
network and billing system, by the end of the calendar year.

So, until then, the service is not available to "Offical" Cingular
customers, only customers still on the old AT&T billing system.

You could see about http://www.mblox.com/.  They seemed to have
bought the old MobileSys company.  They provide the ability to
send SMS to anywhere, internationaly.  But, $$$.  They primarily
use Internet connections, but also provide TAP access for last
resort, like Cingular.

I suspect the Cingular feature will be unreliable until to full
migration is complete.
