Unless the SMS settings are tied to patron's home library/branch, perhaps, 
where if a user has SMS enabled at their home library, they would get an SMS 
option even if checking out material from a different library/branch that has 
SMS disabled for their own patrons. Not sure how hairy this would be to 
actually implement or how useful having the option to configure this setting 
per-library/branch would be, in terms of number of libraries who would use the 
option.
