I am using a gmail account to send alerts to my phone via Verizon SMS. A few weeks ago?? I noticed that my alerts were slow and in some cases alerts from days before. I have been spending time investigating the issue and now have determined that it must be Verizon that is throttling my text messages.
I created a brand new gmail email this morning to see if a new email would change anything and it behaves the same way. In reviewing the gmail account, I can see the appropriate email being sent at roughly the time of the alert. However, I am not receiving the text message from Verizon for at least 10 minutes and is some cases hours later.
This does not work well for trying to get timely security alerts.
Has anyone else been having this problem or know of some solution for this? This worked well for almost a year so something has changed recently to impact this.
Thanks,
