It is one thing to compose the sweetest message to help you appreciate your clients or pass on information, and it is another thing for your messages to get delivered. Some factors could stop your message from being delivered. This article will show you those factors and ensure your messages get delivered.

Factors that can stop your messages from being delivered and solutions

·         DND: DND is an acronym for Do not Disturb. Numbers on this service cannot receive bulk SMS because the DND service cannot receive promotional messages from 3rd parties, including Bulk SMS. This service allows users to dictate the messages they receive from various networks and services. Visit this link to read how to send Bulk SMS to DND numbers.

·         Using a phone number as the sender: Using a phone number as the sender will get your message not delivered to your clients. Some users have been abusing bulk SMS by impersonating it. They use another person’s phone number or a popular shortcode; GSM networks now have systems that filter such messages from delivering.

·         Create a sender ID: Creating a sender ID is one sure way to get your messages delivered. Creating a sender ID takes about 3-5 working days because the Nigerian communication commission and mobile telecommunication require an extensive KYC (Know your customer)on all sender IDs registered over the promotional route. A sender ID is registered with mobile telecommunication, which guarantees the delivery of your message.

·         Do not use bank names, popular companies, politicians, celebrities, and popular shortcodes as sender ID: Your messages will not get delivered when you use such names. These names and numbers are licensed by authority to send bulk SMS, not individual Bulk SMS users. If your name is similar to a popular politician or celebrity, we advise you to shorten or change the name.

·         Fund your wallet: Another sure way to get your messages delivered is by making sure you fund your wallet. Your message will not get delivered if your wallet is empty or you don’t have enough money in your wallet. Click here to see our pricing list
