Identifying the Symptom: Delivery Failure

One common issue users encounter is a delivery failure, where the message does not reach the recipient's phone. This can be frustrating, especially when timely communication is crucial.

What You Observe

When a delivery failure occurs, you might notice that the message status remains undelivered, or you receive an error notification indicating the failure.

Exploring the Issue: Why Delivery Fails

Delivery failures can happen due to various reasons, such as incorrect phone numbers, network issues, or restrictions on the recipient's device.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect recipient phone number.
  • Recipient's phone is turned off or out of network coverage.
  • Carrier restrictions or blocking.

Steps to Fix the Delivery Failure Issue

To resolve delivery failures, follow these actionable steps:

Step 1: Verify the Recipient's Phone Number

Ensure that the phone number is correct and formatted according to international standards. For example, use the format +1234567890.

Step 2: Check Network Status

Confirm that the recipient's phone is on and within network coverage. You can ask the recipient to check their phone settings or try contacting them through another method.

Step 3: Retry Sending the Message

Once you've verified the phone number and network status, attempt to resend the message. Use Telnyx's API to resend the message programmatically:

curl -X POST 'https://api.telnyx.com/v2/messages' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"from": "+1234567890",
"to": "+0987654321",
"text": "Hello, this is a test message!"
}'
