My texts aren't arriving
Nine times out of ten this is A2P, not a broken connection, carriers filter unregistered traffic silently, so the app shows 'sent' and nothing reaches the handset.
Who this is for
Anyone whose texts aren't landing. Start here before changing any settings.
Steps
- Check A2P registration status first. If your brand or campaign isn't approved, carriers are filtering you, and filtering is silent, which is why the app says sent.
- Confirm your numbers are assigned to the approved campaign. An approved campaign with unassigned numbers behaves exactly like no registration.
- Send one text to your own phone. 'Sent' in the app is not evidence; arrival on a handset is.
- Check you actually have a sending number. Saved credentials with no number bought means there's no 'from' address at all.
- If a specific lead never receives anything, check whether they've opted out. STOP is honoured permanently and deliberately.
Why it fails silently
US carriers filter application-to-person traffic that isn't registered under an approved 10DLC brand and campaign. They don't reject the message back to you. They accept it and drop it. From your side that's indistinguishable from success, which is exactly why people spend days checking credentials that were never the problem.
