Status Message
The status message gives you the latest information that
we have about how far the message has moved towards being
delivered to the handset.
On the website the messages are coloured to indicate progress.
Green indicates that the message
has been delivered or that it has been accepted by a Network
Operator that does not provide "delivered to phone" status.
Amber indicates that the message
is on its way and further status information is expected.
Red indicates that the message
could not be delivered.
| Status Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accepted by phone | The message has been confirmed as delivered to the destination handset. |
| Accepted by Network | The message has been delivered to a Mobile Network Operator and they should deliver it. However the Mobile Network Operator does not provide final delivery status to indicate whether or not it was actually able to deliver the message. This is not uncommon with US networks. |
| Test message succeeded | A message sent to one of the test phone numbers (447700900000 - 447700999999) was handled successfully. |
| Accepted by Network (queued) | The message has been delivered to a Mobile Network Operator and they have queued it while trying to deliver it to the destination handset. |
| Accepted by csoft: delayed | The message was marked for Delayed Delivery and has been delayed as requested. |
| Accepted by csoft: queued | The message has been queued by Connection Software pending a Mobile Network Operator being able to accept the message. |
| Blacklisted number | The destination phone number has been blacklisted. |
| Expired by SMSC | The Mobile Network Operator that the message was passed to tried to deliver the message but was unable to do so. This usually indicates that the number was valid but switched off or otherwise unavailable. |

| Opted Out | The user of the mobile/cell phone has either not yet opted in to receive messages from you or has opted out. Recipients can opt-out of receiving messages by replying with a message starting with any of the words "STOP", LEAVE, "QUIT, "OFF" or "END". |
| Rejected by SMSC | The Mobile Network Operator that the message was passed to reported immediately that it was unable to deliver the message. This usually indicates that we cannot deliver to the specified Country or Network - but sometimes indicates that the ability of a Network Operator to deliver has changed and we have failed to keep up with events. |
