114. Why Messages don’t get delivered?

Following are some of the common reasons why the messages don’t get delivered:

  • Sending messages to an invalid number like a landline number
  • Mobile switched off or out of network
  • The destination number has opted out
  • The Message subscription on the destination number has expired (e.g.- The customer having 1:1 communication and suddenly a message is not delivered).
  • Spam Detected- Too many messages sent using long codes, like bulk or campaign (We suggest either Shortcode or Toll-free number).
  • The number has opted out of receiving messages
  • Number is overwritten
  • The end-user’s mobile plan does not support SMS
  • The number is no longer valid
  • Prepaid subscription for SMS expired
  • The sender ID entered is not in the correct format, not SMS-enabled, or not assigned to your account
  • Network issues at the carrier end
  • Spam detected- SMS filtered
  • Invalid SMS Content- blank SMS or SMS exceeds the characters limit of 1600 for messages
