Nick, why would you use a character column in particular?

String concatenation only works on strings, therefore you have to CONVERT or
CAST your integer to a string.

@LocationID, 'To stop alerts, text No to +' + CAST(@SMSCancel AS char(12)) +
'.'

FWIW I would normally define a phone number as a character column in the
database.
