Are all bulk text messages the same quality?
Bulk SMS quality can vary in a number of ways. The main issues are speed of delivery, and facilities for dynamic sender ID and message receipts (see below). Essentially all gateways that connect to mobile networks should be able to offer both fast delivery – just milliseconds to reach the operator – and sender ID and delivery receipts. Some low cost messages offer much slower connections and may not include receipts or sender IDs. These tend to be because they do not connect directly to the home network, but use some form of interworking agreement.
