Delivery reports for sent messages

Whenever messages are sent out of your smslive247.com account, a delivery report is usually generated to help you know the status of your sent messages.

The SMS delivery notification sent to your mailbox contains the list of numbers the message was sent to. It gives a summary of the total submitted, total failed and total SMS credits charged for each SMS sent.

Nevertheless, you can view the status of your messages by clicking on The ''Delivery Report'' link of each message sent.

Once the page opens, select the PERIOD and click on the SEARCH button.
When the page opens, click on the ''Delivery Report'' link after each SMS to view the status of your messages.
On the delivery report page, there are terms that explain the status of each SMS sent.
