<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.
