Despite many people choosing to reply 'stop,' the message continues to be sent out rapidly. Many received the message close to 20 times in a few-hour time span. What caused all these texts to go out, and did you receive them?

This is the message that is now stuck in many heads across the Magic Valley. If you did not receive it, consider yourself lucky. Attempts were made to reach out to St Luke's to find out what caused the mass text wave, but we were unable to get through directly, due to the line being busy. It appears to be a system test, and depending on the goal of the test, mission accomplished. If the test was to annoy people with text messages, they succeeded. If the goal was to see if texts could be sent out, they also succeeded, many times.

Now you know. Sadly, you only get to read the message three times, while everyone else had to read it over, and over, and over, and over again. The system works, although it might have a couple of flaws. Thank you St Luke's for making sure the residents of the Magic Valley are aware, as well as they should know for sure if their sound is on and if they have service.
