You will get different responses on this...

but using SMS for something that's *more* critical may not be your best
approach, seeing as how SMS is a non-reliable transport with no way to 
tell (in most cases) whether the destination addressee received the 
message and (in some cases) even whether the network did.

It depends on what your definition of "is", er, I mean "critical" is. :-)
