In my testing, it's been almost instantaneous but I understand your concern.

Always open to suggestions. Assume I'd need to contract with an SMS gateway service to send direct texts?

As I replied to Aaron.... baby steps and, it's a side project.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Send email as a text to cell phone

Whew. Someone else thinks what I think :-)

Remember I said emails to vtext.com do not get the same importance from
Verizon that real text messages get. We've seen delays before.

What I've found is it all depends on the audience concerning which medium
to use. For example, if we're talking 50+ yr olds then I'd say email is
often the top player. If we're talking 20-30 yr old devs, then they want
notifications in their Slack.com/HipChat/Ryver. Or maybe better stated:
eventually you will want to give your users (employees?) a preference
because if it uses a medium they don't use then you run the risk of them
missing messages.

I agree on all points. We already send emails but I think receiving them
as a text has a lot of advantages for the use case I'm looking at.
