Update - We continue to see successful data traffic across all Phase 1 and now Phase 2 destinations.
Following investigations into the issue affecting extended character sets outside of GSM-7 in SMS messages, we expect the new connectivity provider to implement a fix for this on Monday May 19.
We also rolled out a hot fix yesterday for the issue affecting some bundle usage notifications and following a period of monitoring, we believe this is now resolved.
Thank you to those partners that have shared their feedback already, if you have any questions or need help, please reach out to Support in the usual way.

Update - While we continue to see significant usage across the phase 1 countries we are actively investigating two new issues. As such we have taken the decision to delay phase 2 as we continue to monitor as outlined below:
-We have identified an issue that means extended character sets outside of GSM-7 (e.g. emojis and non-Latin characters) are not currently supported in SMS messages sent via the API and Portal. Messages that include characters which are not GSM-7 will fail.
-We are also actively investigating an issue affecting some bundle usage notifications
Our team is implementing fixes and we will provide updated timelines this week. In the meantime we advise partners to avoid using anything other than Latin (GSM-7) characters wherever possible.

Update - Phase 1 destinations have now been routed to the new connectivity provider and our data shows connectivity is working well.
We identified an issue with SMS encoding which we rolled out a hot fix for at 14:16 UTC. However this had some unforeseen side effects and was rolled back at 14:59 UTC.
All failed orders during this period were fixed by 16:40 UTC and we will continue to monitor and resolve the issues with SMS encoding with the new upstream provider with a further update planned for tomorrow.
Thank you to those partners that have shared their feedback so far. Please continue to share feedback with your Customer Success Manager or raise any issues with Support as normal.
