Adding PAC "Text It!" Feature into Innovative Phone Alerts
We would like to add the "Text It" feature from the PAC as an added part of the Innovative Phone Alerts. This is the feature that allows patrons and staff members to use the PAC to text to their phone the call number of a particular copy on the catalog. Due to changes in the way that Innovative Phone Alerts sends out its notifications without the need for the Wireless Carrier, this feature no longer works without the carrier table being populated. However, it is no longer reliable to maintain the carrier information, since many carriers no longer support SMS-to-email messages.

We regularly used and valued the ability to text records from the legacy OPAC, and find it deeply troubling that the functionality was removed after the introduction of IPA. I don't see this as an enhancement so much as fixing something that broke during an update.
