GFI Network Server Monitor can relay SMS (text) alerts via a web-
based SMS gateway.
Whenever an event triggers an SMS alert, GFI Network Server
Monitor will send a “template” email (via SMTP) to a web-based SMS
gateway. This template email contains all the required SMS alert
details including the SMS text message and the recipient’s number.
The SMS gateway then converts this email to SMS and sends it to the
intended recipient.
NOTE: This template can be customized allowing you to use any
provider which supports email to SMS services.
