[outages] AT&T Email to SMS outage?

[Steve Ryan]

Isn't unusual?  Are you kidding?  It's pretty unusual here in the US.

I wouldn't recommend using e-mail to SMS for anything critical but for 
years, at least in my experience, it's been zippy enough.

12+ hours in some cases for e-mail to SMS though?  Come on, that makes 
it totally unusable.  You Europeans should demand better service!

Regards,

Steve
