Critical alerts shouldn't be metered

When a server goes down at 3am, you want a text — not an email that sleeps in an inbox. But per-message SMS pricing makes teams ration alerts.

SimGate sends alerts from your own SIM at a flat monthly price, so you can be generous with the alerts that matter and keep cost predictable.

Add SMS to your alert pipeline

1
Detect

Your monitor, cron job, or health check spots a failure.

2
Call SimGate

Fire a POST to /v1/sms/send (directly or via your alerting tool's webhook action).

3
Get paged

The on-call engineer receives an SMS from your number within seconds.

Drop this into a health-check handler or a monitoring webhook.

Pairs well with

SimGate is a plain HTTP endpoint, so it fits any stack:

  • Uptime Kuma, Grafana, and Alertmanager webhooks
  • Cron jobs and CI pipelines
  • Custom health checks and queue watchdogs
  • n8n, Make, and Zapier flows

Frequently asked questions

Can my monitoring tool call SimGate directly?

If it can POST JSON to a webhook with custom headers, yes. Tools like Uptime Kuma and Grafana support this, and automation platforms like n8n make it a drag-and-drop step.

How fast are alerts delivered?

Sends are dispatched to your connected phone immediately; delivery then depends on your mobile network, usually within seconds.
