Thanks for the clarification on this -- I didn't think this was the
latter type of messaging, and perhaps my use of "commercial" was the
wrong terminology. That being said, as your client appears to have
issues only when the volume goes up, perhaps TMobile is getting the
perception that these message are in some way "commercial", based on
volume -- just a thought.
In any case, back to Al's point, I agreed with him because I'm under
the impression that mobile providers are leery of companies using
email-to-sms (vs straight SMS) because of the spam potential. IIUC,
it's much easier to manage / control abuse issues with SMS. I'm a bit
out of my expertise element here, so I could be missing something.
