While SMS reporting is a powerful and useful feature it is dependent on the integrity and
availability of the cellular network.
as with any SMS message it is possible that SMS monitoring reports may be delayed or
fail to be delivered. Such failures are a function of the cellular network/s and beyond the
control of Ness Corporation.
Ness recommends central station monitoring as your primary monitoring path.
