Well, all the mobile phones here in Denmark, are also able to receive an
Email.
I don't know if it's the same in other countries, but here I don't see any
reason to use SMS if I can
use Email.

Subject: RE: IPP> ADM - Pick your favorite notification delivery method by
July 7
Has the possibility for supporting SMS/Pager notifications been dropped? I
dont find anything about in the Notification spec.
In Europe now almost every man woman and child has an SMS phone, so SMS
would be the notification method of choice where a human is the recipient.
I think it is even more important than email notification. Our printers
are
usually located remotely from the customer submitting the job, so IPP is
useful for that. On the other hand the person who is going to pick up the
printed output will usually be travelling around. Many are freelance
graphic designers. For them, an SMS notification is perfect. Another
point
is that the machine operator is usually wandering around doing all sorts of
jobs, so SMS is the ideal way to notify the operator of any abnormal
machine
conditions.
For our customers I think SMS is by far the most important notification
mechanism, so we would implement that first and then think about maybe
doing
some of the others. Old style pagers seem to have gone the way of 8-track
stereo.
