As the migration continues, we are now able to confirm:
Messages are flowing out to the operators, with delivery receipts coming back.
Additionally, we're receiving inbound messages, and the backlog frmo the period of the migration is processing.

The Messenger control panel is also migrated and online, however we are aware that the CSS (look and feel) is not loading properly. This will be resolved shortly too.

Update
This is a reminder to all customers, that the following is happening on Monday 16th November:

As previously announced to all customers, between 9pm and midnight (GMT) on Monday 16th November 2020, Textlocal will be migrating its platform from the existing data centre provider to AWS. This is one part of a long planned project.

During the migration period there will likely be some brief periods of time when the platform is unavailable, but efforts have been made to keep these to an absolute minimum. There may also be some short periods, during the migration, where the platform runs slower than normal - this is part of the plans for migration, and is to avoid the platform becoming inaccessible.

All customers should have received notification of the migration and a FAQs page has been created to answer any questions - https://wvw.textlocal.com/AWS-FAQs. Particular note should be taken by white-label domain owners and customers with advanced network setups, as they will be required to take action. Most customers should not need to do anything following the migration.

Regular updates will be sent as to the progress of the migration and any issues that arise during the maintenance window.
