Wouldn't you want to be sending something like a SNPP message instead? It's a much less convoluted delivery process and is almost real-time (no queuing).
I guess it's been a decade or so since I've dealt with emergency services and paging...is SNPP even a thing anymore?
I looked at some old code I wrote (https://github.com/darkpixel/snppsend/blob/master/more-providers <https://github.com/darkpixel/snppsend/blob/master/more-providers>), and it doesn't look like snpp.attws.net <http://snpp.attws.net> exists.

Know this is a longshot, any chance anyone from the txt.att.net domain might be able to help us with what we believe is a blacklist block or possibly an outage? We deal with 911 cad dispatching and is affecting first responders so looking to see if there is a faster way to resolution.
Hi Dan,
As I understand it, txt.att.net is a low-volume courtesy service not intended for important communications. A paid service like Twilio can handle production-grade SMS delivery.
