Server monitoring via SMS
With server monitoring via SMS you receive an SMS alert as soon as a server or service goes down. The big advantage over e-mail alerts: an SMS still reaches you when your mail server or internet connection happens to be down as well.
SMSBOX delivers alerts over direct operator connections — 98% of messages arrive within 3 minutes. You only pay the regular credits per alert sent, from €0.06 per SMS, without a subscription. The platform itself runs on Belgian servers with 99.99% uptime.
How does it work?
Groups & scans
In the customer portal you create monitoring groups and add the scans for your servers and services to each group.
SMS alert on downtime
If a service goes down, an SMS is sent to you immediately — and to the team members who need to be informed.
Logs with uptime & downtime
For every scan you review the logs over a period of your choice, including calculated uptime and downtime.

Via e-mail notification
Any tool that can send e-mail connects via e-mail notification: your own e-mail address that automatically forwards every incoming e-mail as a text or voice message. No code required.
