SMS issue impacting some Freedom, Rogers customers since Wednesday

SMS issues are plaguing a small number of Canadians, notably Freedom and Rogers customers.

The issue doesn’t appear to be widespread in part because it impacts just SMS messages.

That means most messages between Android devices, which use the RCS standard, aren’t impacted.

MobileSyrup attempted to recreate the issue but had no problems sending SMS messages between devices on Rogers and Freedom networks.

Rogers did not provide a comment to MobileSyrup despite repeated requests.
