In addition, any other intermediary server or API is also deemed to be the point of dispatch of the message.

Although SMSArrow makes all efforts to ensure delivery and prides itself on speedy delivery of messages, messages may be delivered late as a result of queuing or network congestion/traffic.

SMSArrow lays no claim to its network coverage.
