Status of the Project #163

Closed cemalgnlts closed 3 years ago

cemalgnlts commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Is this project still working? I have completed the installation but most addresses no longer work. Working addresses do not deliver the message.

Sees the same for me.

Googling around looks like the gateways used by the app were blocked by the carrieres.

The project still works, in theory, but it will vary based on carrier. The delivery rate of SMS-via-email (which is how this project delivers SMS for free) has dropped significantly over the years due to spam and abuse. Many carriers block these messages now.
