1. Alternative Messaging Services - A Family Tree Approach

The following is a list of Alternative Messaging Services that you might be able to use within the InfoRad software:

USA Mobility Alternatives

American Messaging Alternatives

Verizon Paging

Verizon PCS - Internet SMTP (However, we do not necessarily recommend connecting directly to Verizon's email servers)

There are two email servers with Verizon - smtp-bb.vtext.com and smtp-sl.vtext.com. They are interchangeable.
Verizon also supports Dialup TAP.

AT&T Wireless / Cingular PCS - Internet SMTP

There are various email addresses for AT&T Wireless / Cingular phones. Therefore, you may want to contact an AT&T Wireless representative for that particular cell phone if you are not certain. Otherwise, start at the top and work your way down:

The newer AT&T Wireless/Cingular phones are likely to use XXX5551212@txt.att.net
Otherwise, try XXX5551212@mobile.mycingular.com
XXX5551212@cingularme.com
XXX5551212@cingularme.net
XXX5551212@mmode.com
AT&T Wireless / Cingular's Enterprise Paging for cell phones is a different plan and would use a different email address from the ones above:
XXX5551212@page.cingular.com
However, AT&T Wireless / Cingular's Enterprise Paging also supports the Internet Paging Protocols - SNPP and WCTP - as well as Dialup TAP, unlike the standard text messaging email addresses listed above.

You can also refer to Brad Dye's website for a nice look at the Family Tree of Paging Companies.
