Common Causes of Bulk Message go Undelivered

1. 1. 1.  Repetitive URL’s and keywords in the SMS body will be blocked by the carriers.
      2.  Invalid numbers are the most common reason for message delivery problems. (Changed or fake) phone numbers won’t reach their intended destination, decreasing your message delivery score.
      3.  Sometimes deliver-ability issues are deliberate – for example, messages judged ‘spam’ may be blocked by our carrier partners.
      4.  Make sure your message is not too ‘spammy.’ Include clear instructions, precise language, and proper capitalization and punctuation.
      5.  USE of SCAM and SPAM WORDS as Sender Id and in message content is also the major causes of bulk SMS delivery failure.
      6.  A confusing message to users might seem like someone they don’t know has their contact information. Suspicious users are more likely to report messages to their carrier, and when messages are reported to carriers it becomes very likely that future messages from that number or with similar content will be filtered.
      7.  Messages are usually sent using Text which contains 160 characters, or Unicode – a global standard which allows for 70 characters. To avoid SMS delivery failure, ensure that your SMS messaging service or carrier is using Text or Unicode in the U.S.
      8.  SHAFT sex, hate, alcohol, firearms, Call, $, Euro Currency symbol, tobacco content is strictly prohibited.
      9.  If the user is out of reach, then the message will not be delivered to the handset.
      10. The main reasons for SMS delivery failure is carrier level spam filters. Carriers have added systems and algorithms that detect spam content and then block them before they even get delivered. Unfortunately, these filters are always hidden, subject to carrier preferences, vary from carrier to carrier, and can be changed without notice.
