RE: IBM is gradually introducing SMS notifications for select -- MIDRANGE-L

I was just notifying anyone that wants to try and set it up.
FORTRA Robot Alert emails me as well if anything seems
wrong – as an example – storage increase in the middle of the night. Rare but
it’s happened once or twice in the last 4 years or so. Or recently, the UPS in the rack
failed and I got an alert about the Power 10 maybe having an issue.

My phone beeps for emails or SMS. I don't get why SMS is so important. I get more spam (at least non filtered spam) through SMS that email.

Tried to set up the SMS notifications for case texting. On my profile, it is grayed out.
Opened a case with IBM. Support says it is grayed out for them as well. Support
has opened an internal ticket.
