As more individuals are mobile users and may not have access to email to look for any alerts that may have been created in X3, a nice enhancement would be to add the option of sending SMS (Short Message Service) text messages concerning alerts to individuals.

I'm not sure if there's a simple gateway to sms solution that could be implemented directly on an ERP server, however the following may make this a non-issue:

For example...
Alltel [10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.com
Example: 1234567890@message.alltel.com
AT&T (formerly Cingular) [10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net
[10-digit phone number]@mms.att.net (MMS)
[10-digit phone number]@cingularme.com
Example: 1234567890@txt.att.net
Boost Mobile [10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.com
Example: 1234567890@myboostmobile.com
Nextel (now Sprint Nextel) [10-digit telephone number]@messaging.nextel.com
Example: 1234567890@messaging.nextel.com
Sprint PCS (now Sprint Nextel) [10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
[10-digit phone number]@pm.sprint.com (MMS)
Example: 1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile [10-digit phone number]@tmomail.net
Example: 1234567890@tmomail.net
etc
Glenn unlike Sage 500 where something like this would have to be mimic'd within SQL Server, I would think is would be easier in Sage X3 since it does all its processing within the business layer (middle tier) and not the database. If the rumors are true that Sage X3 does have some integrations to the Microsoft .NET Framework, they could use System.Net.Mail to create an SMS Alert.
