Yes I know this break the charter from emailing from a anon account, no I don't really ever post so never bothered me before. This is the word I got on the issue and if anybody wants, I can forward more specific info when my friend finds out more.

just as a matter of course, i thought i'd mention i'm anxiously awaiting your update. thanks ad!

Just heard that it's fixed..

Though I have no easy way of verifying that, and it might take time to propegate.

The story is that it was specific to Ameritech and parts of Verizon. It was apparently a problem with some of their SCPs and STPs in their SS7 networks. I don't know for sure if it was an actual problem with the SMS/800 database or not. Hopefully I'll get better details from AT&T sooner or later.

I sort of think it might have been further reaching within SBC than just Ameritech because we saw some problems with Pacbell out here in CA.
