Delivery reports
Every message has a status that updates as it moves from Iflow to the mobile network and on to the phone.
Message statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
Sent | The message has been passed to the mobile network |
Delivered | The network has confirmed the message reached the phone |
| A code, e.g. 9106 | The message wasn’t sent. The code says why |
Sent isn’t the same as Delivered. A phone that’s switched off or out of coverage can leave a message at Sent until the network delivers it or gives up.
When a message fails
Look the code up in Status and error codes. The most common are:
- 9000: the number is on your stop list.
- 9007: the number isn’t a valid mobile number.
- 9106: the account didn’t have enough credit. See Credit and billing.
- 9132: the destination network doesn’t accept sender IDs. Send from a reply number instead.
