Until this is corrected, some patients may receive two separate reminders SMS messages, with the message broken at an arbitrary point. This may result in broken appointment confirmation links. We are aware that this is impacting delivery of SMS messages to many wireless providers on the Rogers Communications network, but it may be impacting others as well. We will continue to monitor the issue.
