Re: Tsunami TXT alert delays - any thoughts?

 

I have experienced large delays for texts at different times. In the last week I have had texts delayed up to 8 hours on an intermittent basis.

I believe this is because the Telecom organisations do not, generally, guarantee texts.

Cheers.

Do you have any idea why a paid TXT alert service would run a few hours late? http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/2921072/Tsunami-text-warning-fails Obviously, it's pretty hard to run diagnostics from a media article.. but do you know where bottlenecks might occur?

Is there anything that Sahana's SMS messaging system (Kannel / SMSTools) could do to minimise this latency?
