SMS problems explained

Virgin Mobile explains recent problems with its SMS service; promises to credit customers for incorrect billing

 

[Roo!]

SMSes not SMS's (SMS's what???)
Reinstating not re-instating.

Damn bastards

haha caught implementing free SMS validity period? interesting. I wonder though, if that's the case, how it impacts on their contracts/agreements signed already or perhaps that is the 20k affected by changes to others(which got pushed on them by mistake).

re-instating
I prefer it to hyphenated. But SMS's is incorrect but it makes for easier reading

What it means is that the Huawei platform comes with standard features which they did not have before, these values were then defaulted...expiring most of the subscribers(on certain packages)....gotta love technology...

how the hell do you test these scenarios?

Ask MTN, they change entire billing systems without testing...
