We even made the complete Skype alert. BUT it wasn't stable enough to put it into Servers Alive. The way Skype works is that you need to use the Skype-API and this then communicates with the Skype client and that interaction (skype client is interactive) isn't working very well…..
From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Graham Brown Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 10:01 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] SMS Alerting and alternatives I know - this comes up a lot... Well, I never got it to work reliably here in the UK. I have tried Vodafone, Three, O2 - have tried with phone attached to the PC, with a standard modem and no dice. I either get nothing at all or it'll work sporadically. So, how can I achieve this? I thought maybe there would be a way of using the Skype SMS service. Has anyone written a custom alert for their own use they would like to share? I'm afraid I don't have programming skills as I saw several docs on how to programmatically send SMS messages via skype and if I could I would create something myself. I saw a post back in 2008 from Dirk about a voice calling service from Skype client - that would be cool as my ringtone is more noticeable than my txt message notification. Any ideas?
