We send emails too, but it's also nice to get a TXT on your phone for really urgent information such as a problem with the server.

- sjs382 18y agoI think his point was that twitter-to-sms isn't always as prompt as you want it to be.
- kubrick 18y agoYMMV, but in my experience twitter would be prompter than the typical SMS service from a big carrier. More reliable, too.
- sjs382 18y agoAre you arguing that twitter-to-sms (not sms-to-twitter, which i have never experienced lag with) is a quicker trip than sms-to-sms? My provider is Verizon and my experience is VERY different than what you assert. And this is coming from someone who has completely bought into the "OMGTWITTER" phenomenon. ;)
- jawngee 18y agoWhy not just email to yournumber@yourcarrier.net and get it as an sms too?
- jmtulloss 18y agoThe author addressed this in the article.
- jawngee 18y agoBut then he chooses the second most unreliable route? I think this approach is neat and novel, but ultimately I don't believe they've solved their problems. YAPS/SMSClient with a good gateway SMS provider, if the SMS is that critical. I don't understand why email only is a failure, assuming they have push email to their phone (and if you don't, well why not?)
