SMS Notifications

• SMS (Short Message Service) notifications will no longer be supported or available starting in the July 2024/20.24.7 release.
  
  This change is in response to the deprecation of this service by mobile providers. Users can receive mobile push notifications in Brightspace Pulse, and can subscribe to email notifications in place of SMS notifications.
