D2L (the company that owns Brightspace) has announced a July 2024 intent to end-of-life SMS notifications. Refer to the following frequently asked questions for more information.<\/p>\n

What are SMS Notifications?<\/h3>\n

SMS (Short Message Service) notifications allow users to subscribe to select alert bell notifications so that they are forwarded to a mobile phone number.<\/p>\n

Why are they ending SMS Notifications?<\/h3>\n

When D2L originally built their SMS notifications, the world was a different place. We didn\u2019t all have smart phones! They built this using a technology service available from most providers, email to SMS. Now, this service is being deprecated by providers and they are experiencing not only inconsistent delivery times but also large-scale outages at some of the largest mobile providers in North America.<\/p>\n

How can users get mobile push notifications without SMS?<\/h3>\n

Another difference from when D2L built their SMS notifications is that their mobile app, Pulse<\/a>, wasn\u2019t available. With Pulse, users can receive the same mobile push notifications as what were available via SMS.<\/p>\n

Email-based notifications are not going away, so users can still receive email notifications if subscribed.<\/p>\n

What will happen to stored phone numbers after this?<\/h3>\n

Personal Data will be deleted once it is no longer needed to send notifications.<\/p>\n
