Miracle Service has unveiled the new update of its software, available now for download. This release features the new Technician SMS Text service, offering an upgraded and more dependable technician text messaging experience.

In response to changes in mobile carriers' policies on email-to-SMS communication, Miracle Service has phased out this method in favor of a superior text messaging solution. This solution adheres to the latest regulatory opt-in requirements of mobile carriers and is powered by the trusted Twilio messaging service.
