Message Status Codes
Where ever supported we request that carriers return delivery receipts so that these can be passed to you and processed. While every attempt is made to ensure that a valid statusCode is passed, it can not be guaranteed as some devices/carriers or connections are not able to provide a true delivery receipt.
Possible values of statusCode are:
| Code | Basic Description | What this means to your Application | Final Status? |
|---|---|---|---|
NUR |
Number Unreachable |
Check the number is correct and in International Format and then resend. The error string will also provide some more useful information such as whether the recipient is blocked. Be careful about infinite loops, only retry a couple of times. |
Yes |
SNT |
Message Passed to Network |
Wait. Give it a few minutes and then poll for more Status Messages. |
No |
ERR |
Internal Error |
An error occurred. It may be recoverable so try sending the message again in a few minutes. Be careful about infinite loops in your code. |
Yes |
NRCV or NRC |
Not Received |
Check the number is correct and in International Format and then resend. Be careful about infinite loops though. |
Yes |
RCV |
Message Received |
Excellent. This is a final status for this message and the handset has received it. |
Yes |
EXP |
Message was not delivered within allowed time |
This is a final status for this message and the handset has not received it. Retry if you want but for a lot of carriers this status may take days to return so the message may no longer be relevant. |
Yes |
INF |
Insufficient funds |
A billing error has occurred. If you get this error then your account has reached its credit limit. This is very rare and you need to contact Bulletin immediately. No more messages can be sent until this is rectified. |
Yes |
