Will carriers block your IP from paging?

[TriciaG]

Will any cell carriers block your IP if you send too many pages? We find that after sending a large number of pages often we are unable to connect to their SMTP servers for awhile. It is almost as if we are getting blacklisted. Does anyone else experience this and how do you manage it. I have hundreds of devices I am monitoring and if a major outage occurs I can send 300+ pages to various people.

I can use TAP but in sending large number of page it is too slow.

Most will, yes. If you send them more than a certain amount of traffic in a given day, they'll basically tempban your IP. Unfortunately, each carrier has their own internal limits that I'm not privy to, so I don't know what those message limits are. The only way I know to avoid this entirely is to contact the carriers' level 2 or 3 tech supports and asked to be placed on their whitelists.
