<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">We’ve had several issues with most of the carriers on SMS issues. Sometimes SMS messages were throttled, and patrons would get them days or weeks later if at all. Some carriers just stopped sending them
totally. Sometimes the messages to a specific carrier would deliver for one library in the consortium but not others. We tried changing from sending SMS to MMS with no luck. Also we were getting asked to add new carriers that don’t have gateways and so
we were unable to provide SMS service to those patrons. In the end we moved to a third-party option to deliver SMS notifications.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black">We have recently been receiving a number of reports from different libraries that patrons are not receiving SMS notifications, particularly those for holds. Evergreen is sending the messages like
it is supposed to, so we are thinking that some carriers may be flagging the messages as spam. Based on the reports we have received, it appears to be most common with AT&T.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
