A now funny incident pointed out a “hidden flaw” in the process of sending a text message.
A recent “I’m hone safe” text message was not received which led to a comedy of errors worthy of a Marx Brothers’ skit.
An “after action” review — although it wasn’t called that — revealed that the text message was sent to a land line.
No error message was “thrown up”.
It would seem that Apple and Android could easily validate mobile versus landline and prevent such a blunder.
But, I guess there’s no demand for such “smarts”; just AI to produce revenue.
Argh!
