It seems that recently the text messages to my phone have a lot of text at the beginning about spam filter, etc. This is a relatively recent phenomenon, so I wanted to see if anyone had the same issue and whether there's a way around it?
I reported it to CO and they responded indicating they would pass it along to development. It is a recent change. As a result many no longer see the actual text of the message since many carriers limit the legth of the message received to 130 characters or so.
UPDATE: As of today (11/4) it appears they've gone back to the old alert style. While still not close to being perfect, at least the message leads with the important information so you have a better shot at actually seeing what the message is.
