The great 2019 Valentine’s Day texting debacle
Blog post from Bandwidth
On Valentine's Day 2019, over 160,000 texts were not delivered across all carriers due to a failed server. The messages remained undelivered for nine months until the server was brought back online and they were released into the wild. This incident caused confusion and awkwardness among recipients who received unexpected or out-of-context messages from loved ones, exes, or even deceased individuals. While this event is rare, it highlights the importance of server redundancy to avoid similar communication failures in the future.
