Hello:
I work for an Electronic Message Broadcasting Company and use mobile networks as third parties to deliver SMS's.
This morning a large number of our customers have complained that many SMS have not been delivered or have taken upto an hour to deliver.
I have called the networks to see what information they can provide and all of them are being very cagy. Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything today?
Thanks

Rubbish.
The huge amount of SMS's sent in such a short space of time will cause all networks issues. It is rare for SMS to be lost however long delays can be found if phones are not restarted.

Seems the Register is making things up. The whole Family is on O2 and none of them recieved that message. Mind I wouldn't send a text at that time as its just common sense things are going to be busy.
It wasn't sent to every customer however the sending of these text messages is always from a marketing aspect so its there to increase SMS usuage rather than reduce it! More sms = more revenue.
Or perhaps as it was deemed a marketing message, O2 are complying with my instructions to them that I do not wish to receive such messages
Good point I ticked that box also.....cant believe it worked. :eek:
