We are working with our providers to fix this.&quot; On Thursday, the Twitter Status blog <a href="http://status.twitter.com/post/58352815/verizon-delivery-problems">reported problems with Verizon</a>, and on election day the blog said T-Mobile and &quot;other operators&quot; <a href="http://status.twitter.com/post/57969162/sms-delivery-problems">were affected</a>. </p> <p>It is uncertain if the Twitter issues are related to lingering issues caused by heavy SMS traffic across all carriers on election night. The <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/11/barack-obama-2.html">LA Times blog</a> notes traffic on Sprint's network surged 30% in the Los Angeles area around the time results were pointing to Barack Obama winning the presidential election. AT&amp;T also saw a 44% spike in SMS traffic, the blog reports. </p> http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/11/07/twitter-says-sms-problems-persist#comments co:Twitter co:Verizon sms Software &amp; Web The Industry Standard Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:04:46 -0800 Ian Lamont 121241 at http://www.thestandard.com
