What does it mean when a number is invalid?
Understand why your SMS status is flagged as Invalid Number
The recipient's number is invalid and cannot be recognised by our system for delivery.
This may be caused if:
-
The mobile number is not in the correct international format, it was too long/short, or it was entered incorrectly.
-
The customer may have also opted out from receiving text messages. Please see the knowledgebase category on Managing opt-outs in MXT.
Different countries have strict regulations on message sending; please see the Laws and Regulations knowledgebase category for more information.
If a certain number is on a country's 'Do not call list', your message will not send.
If you require a mobile number lookup, please create a ticket for our support team with details such as:
-
Your SMSGlobal username
-
A list of phone numbers you wish to look up (Excel or CSV format is preferred)
-
Countries that you're trying to send to
-
Sender ID that you're using for SMS
