Marc,

I'll put in my 2 cents here :p because I've asked myself the same question.

Here's the issue : You're relying on 3rd parties anyway. When you want
to send alerts to a phone, you're relying on the provider network for
your messages/alerts to reach you? Unless you're ensuring end to end
connectivity and making sure all bases are covered...somewhere down
the line, you have to depend on someone.

How we mitigate that issue, is have multiple systems of delivery. If
one fails, the other should get through. Make sure you get the alerts
one way or another.

Regards,
