Carrier Availability and Message Delivery Delays
Prompt.io is constantly monitoring for these sorts of problems through our carrier relations, status pages, and our upstream providers.
Please understand that in these rare circumstances, these are industry-wide issues beyond the scope of our control. Every texting vendor will be experiencing the same exact delays and issues.
In the event of carrier-related issues, Prompt.io will update our status page with relevant information. Please consider subscribing to these updates via email.
