No geofence alert to my Cingular phone for a couple days

I get the alerts to my Nextel pager but not to my cingular phone
for geofence alerts. Has something changed since Cingular/Att
merger? I plan to also ask the cingular people today. Thanks.

I know ATT's SMS email server "mobile.att.net" has been unresolvable for some time. So if you were using that you should ask them for the new server.
