We want to use text messaging to reach large numbers of people. What are the limitations of text messaging?
Text messages will often get through when voice communications are blocked. Text messaging is typically very reliable and can be useful in an emergency. Like all electronic communications it has limitations tied the networks that deliver the messages and text messages can be delayed or blocked during under some circumstances. When text messaging is used in conjunction with voice calling and e-mail it has proven to be very effective and should be part of your emergency notification plans.
