ESME_RDELIVERYFAILURE in SMPP
What is ESME_RDELIVERYFAILURE?
ESME_RDELIVERYFAILURE (Error Code: 0x000000FE) is an SMPP error indicating that message delivery to the recipient has failed.
Possible Causes
- The destination number is invalid or unreachable.
- The mobile handset is switched off or out of network coverage.
- The SMSC encountered an issue while routing the message.
- Carrier-side restrictions (e.g., blocked numbers, DND lists, or spam filters).
- Message expiration before delivery.
When Does It Happen?
This error occurs when an ESME submits a message and the SMSC is unable to deliver it due to network issues, recipient unavailability, or other delivery failures.

How to Solve It?
- Verify that the destination number is correct and active.
- Check if the handset is reachable (e.g., not switched off or out of coverage).
- Ensure the message is formatted correctly and does not contain blocked content.
- Confirm that the carrier is not blocking messages to the recipient.
- Retry sending after some time if the failure is temporary.
If the issue persists, contact the SMSC provider for further investigation.
