SMS Notifications.

Fast, Direct, and Always On: SMS Notifications

Sometimes, nothing beats the simplicity of a text message.

Funny Monitors’ SMS notifications are designed for the moments when downtime can’t wait and inboxes can’t be trusted. Whether you’re away from your desk, offline, or in a critical operations role, SMS notifications give you instant visibility into what matters — no app, no browser, no login required.

When something breaks, you get a text. That’s it. No fuss, no delay.



What Are SMS Notifications?

With all the powerful tools available today, SMS may seem basic — but it’s often the most dependable way to reach someone quickly. SMS doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi, doesn’t get buried under Slack pings, and doesn’t require your email app to load.

That’s exactly why Funny Monitors supports SMS as a core notification method.
• Works when apps don’t — Ideal for on-call engineers or field operators
• Immediate delivery — No polling, no refresh, no inbox delay
• Simple and effective — The essential info, nothing more
• Device-native — Works on any mobile phone, anywhere in the world

SMS notifications keep you in the loop — even when you’re offline, traveling, or simply off-grid.

Included Credits per Plan

To make SMS accessible without creating waste, Funny Monitors includes a set number of SMS notification credits with each plan. These credits are renewed monthly or annually depending on your subscription.

This approach gives you predictable, fair usage while controlling costs tied to mobile carrier delivery fees.
• Starter, Pro, and Business plans include SMS credits
• Additional SMS credits can be purchased as needed
• You’ll never receive surprise charges — all SMS usage is transparent and trackable in your dashboard

If your team relies on SMS as a backup or frontline channel, you can scale usage accordingly with add-ons — no hidden limits.

Clear, Relevant, No-Nonsense

Funny Monitors doesn’t overload your phone with noise. SMS notifications are brief and focused, providing only what you need to act — without sacrificing clarity. Whether you’re using SMS as a primary notification method or as part of a larger strategy (with email, Slack, or voice), it integrates cleanly into your workflow.

Notifications are triggered for all key monitor states:
• Downtime
• Recovery
• Scheduled maintenance
• Certificate or domain warnings

And because they’re delivered instantly, you’re never left wondering what’s going on with your infrastructure.

Included for All Plans with No Setup Required

SMS notifications are available to all Funny Monitors users, regardless of plan. Setup is simple — just add a phone number, assign it to the monitors you care about, and you’re good to go.

And with credits included in every tier, there’s no barrier to getting started. You only pay for additional usage if your team grows or your needs expand.

Funny Monitors’ SMS notifications are here to keep you informed when it matters most — in the moments when inboxes aren’t checked, Slack is closed, and dashboards are out of reach.

Included with every plan, powered by credits, and designed for speed.
