The TextAlert service enables critical messages conveyed in email form to be translated in to one or more text messages and then sent to a pre-defined list of recipients’ mobile phones. This service gets critical information on the performance of computer systems in to the palm of those that need to know, quickly and reliably.
Up until now, automatically generated email alerts remain unseen unless the recipients are physically reading their email. Clearly out of hours this is not the case. With TextAlert, a new way of getting critical alerts and important information to the right people is now available.
How can you use it?

messages from IT systems

phone

Pricing
TextAlert – only £10 per month
With TextAlert, you just pay a small monthly fee for each TextAlert service that you set-up, and for the text messages that are sent.
Once you have set your TextAlert service up, you then just pay for the messages that are sent by your TextAlert. You don’t even need to buy your messages in advance. As a business client of ours, we will provide you with a credit account. You just set-up as many TextAlerts as you wish, messages are then sent as appropriate, and at the end of each month we’ll send you an invoice.

All messages are charged at the rate applicable to the total monthly message volume. So, for example, if you were to send 1,250 messages in one month, ALL messages would be charged at 7.5p, plus VAT.
All message pricing includes the Interconnect Fee (approximately 3.0p), payable to the receiving network operator (Vodafone, O2 etc.) for delivering your messages. This is now applicable for all UK operators and many other European operators too. This fee ensures that our messages are treated as First Class messages and are delivered as swiftly as they possibly can be.
To ensure we provide the highest quality of message delivery, we send all of our messages through UK operators.
An additional discount of 5% is applicable for accounts that are settled by Direct Debit. All the above pricing is exclusive of VAT.
