Smart timing

  • Submit all remaining sending tasks before the selected time.

  • Real-time mode: The system determines when the user's device is in continuous use and sends the message at the right time. This increases the probability that the message will be noticed. Because the user's device activity changes in real time, this mode sends about 30% of the messages daily. A task period of three days is recommended.

  • Sends messages at a relatively even rate by combining real-time mode with historical peak usage times.

FAQ

This section lists common reasons for sending failures and their solutions.

Q1: Device model limitations

Reason: Different card SMS templates support different phone models. This may cause rendering to fail on unsupported models.

Suggestion: Choose templates that support a wide range of models. Before sending, use labels to exclude audiences with unsupported models. You can also configure a fallback to digital SMS.

Q2: Phone number is on a blocklist

Reason: The end user associated with the phone number has previously complained or unsubscribed. Messages are blocked to respect the end user's wishes and prevent harassment.

Suggestion: Avoid sending messages to numbers on blocklists.

Q3: Throttling limits

Reason: The platform and carriers limit sending frequency to protect end users from excessive messaging.

Suggestion: Adjust the sending time and avoid sending the same content repeatedly to the same user.

Q4: Out of service, nonexistent number, service suspended, powered off, or out of service area

Reason: The recipient's phone is not connected to the network.

Suggestion: In testing scenarios, you can try to restart the phone, disable security software, and ensure the phone is connected to the network before you resend the message.
