ATT SMS Gateways, consistent source short code

By Ken | Published: September 27, 2009

At work we get nagios pages via SMS using the @txt.att.net email-SMS gateway. Everyone who receives these pages also happens to have an Iphone. Our setup was fairly annoying because every txt message had a unique sender, so in the event you that you receive a ton of alerts its really hard to clean up afterwards.

Found the solution here. Use @mobile.mycingular.com.

    I don’t think this is working anymore. Just tested it and both addresses come from the same 1 (410) 000-XXX I guess that’s nice if you’re going to reply, but I seldom do to server outage notifications (99% of these types of txts)

    Bummer, luckily I have not had to get automated pages for a while so I have not noticed it :)
