Putting a book on hold from my library, and one of the options is to get a text message when it is ready for pickup.
The online form requires me to specify my mobile carrier.
Why is this necessary? It’s not like I need to know if someone is on Verizon or T-Mobile or whatever to send them a text… is this an artifact of a time when this WAS necessary? Or am I missing something?

They may be using an email-to-mms gateway, in which case they need to know the email address associated with your phone number, which can be determined knowing the carrier.
