I warn you this (probably) isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I've stopped using the SMS email gateways due to reliability issues and when things are really going bad -- rate limiting. Instead I've moved to sending my notifications through Pushover.net which sends (fast!!) push notifications to phones.
You can send messages two ways: their email gateway, or write a notification script that uses their REST api. It's very simple. I wrote this in a few minutes and haven't looked back.
Hi Mark... Thanks for that recommendation re: pushover.net
I have suffered for _years_ with the AT&T (now Frontier) email-to-sms gateway. Using the AT&T email gateway, Xymon notifications get mixed in with other txt messages because each message sent via their gateway is
From: ${SomeEverIncreasingNumber}
So I can not set a filter on a phone number, or username and have a different notification tone for Xymon messages.
Pushover currently has a limited number of notification tones, but that is OK because I can have my xymon alert tell Pushover which to send so I can always know if I got a txt or a Xymon alert now.
Still waiting on my first Xymon->Pushover alert, but this looks promising to me and my sanity. lol
