Switching to local SMS third-party provider

Kindly note that due to the depreciation of the cedis, we are unable to use our international third-party SMS provider at this moment.

We will be switching to a local third-party provider. Note that, you may not have the same excellent delivery rate that we provided while using the international third-party.

Thanks.
