FAQs

Why when I send a text it says the message failed?

When a text message fails to send, it could be due to various reasons, such as poor network connectivity, the recipient's number being incorrect or blocked, or issues with the messaging service. It may also occur if your device doesn't have sufficient credit or if the message exceeds the character limit.

Does failed to send mean blocked?

Not necessarily. "Failed to send" doesn't always mean the recipient has blocked you. It could be due to temporary network issues, the recipient's phone being turned off or out of coverage, or a problem with your own network connection.

How do you tell someone has blocked you?

Your messages are not delivered, and there is no indication of the message being sent. Calls to the person go straight to voicemail, without ringing their phone. If you had regular communication before, and suddenly all your messages go unanswered with no explanation, it could be an indication of being blocked.

Will my SMS be delivered if blocked?

No, your SMS won't reach the recipient's phone if they have banned you. When someone "blocks" you, it means they've blocked all calls and text messages from your phone number.

What is Person-to-Person Text Messaging?

The core application of SMS messaging, and arguably the reason for its invention, is the ability to send short text messages between mobile phones. This simple concept revolutionized communication, allowing people to connect instantly and conveniently.

However, SMS has evolved beyond basic one-on-one messaging. The rise of chat applications builds upon SMS technology, enabling real-time, interactive exchanges within groups. This demonstrates the adaptability of SMS and its role as a foundation for even more advanced communication tools.

SMS messaging for Alerts and Notifications?
