Public Notice regarding AT&T/Cingular TAP Service

[Tech Support]

As of 8/11/2008, Cingular and AT&T no longer support the TAP Protocol as a free service. In order to continue to use the TAP system with Cingular and AT&T, you will need to contact them directly and become a member of their Enterprise Paging Network.

They do still support SMTP messaging to their phones (10digitnumber@txt.att.net)

I think someone running something important at AT&T needs to be tested for schizophrenia. All of the deactivated AT&T TAP terminals that were taken offline on Monday are now back online today. I think they caved after the angry hosts descended upon them but I'm not sure, all I know is that they're back on.

I believe that the fact that the TAP terminals are back up for public access is only a temporary situation. It would not surprise me at all to see restricted access implemented soon. AT&T is making a huge push for the Enterprise Paging solution (which, incidentally, allows you to use SNPP and WCTP in addition to TAP - either one is far superior to TAP for messaging).
