messages our using your account is not. In order to do this, we require that you

Is this service reliable and secure? |
It certainly is, messages are sent directly through the RSA mobile networks over
secure lines; but before a message leaves your browser and enters our system, its
is sent in a private and descrete manner.
Our system has been servicing mission
critical operations such as the Traffic Department's Licence Booking system and
some community radio stations along with private clients such as AIG. This means
the system has to be available 24/7/365. Since this is a web based tool, we periodically
clean up the received messages so that all used are not affected by the build-up.
Although this does not happen regularly, we encourage all our users to make use
of the "back up" facility provided.
In addition to the above, our server are located at IS in Brynston working securely
behind our internet service provider's numerous and reliable backup generators and
infrastructure. This ensures that we are unaffected by the rolling blackouts currently being experienced all over the country. |
