Text message test shows success, improvements

Ohio University officials said they were satisfied with improved results of the latest test of the emergency text messaging system last week.

The message was sent to the 4,306 subscribers and 129 messages, or three percent, did not reach the cell phone, said David Hopka, assistant vice president for Safety and Risk Management.

Hopka said.
