If you sent a text message and see that it was never delivered, there's usually a logical explanation. This How.com.vn article will teach you simple ways to find out why your messages aren't being delivered, along with easy fixes.
Things You Should Know
- If the recipient's phone is turned off, in airplane mode, or disconnected, messages will be sent but not delivered.
- If you've been sending a lot of texts, your carrier (or the recipient's carrier) may be flagging your texts as spam.
- If you see "Message sent, but not delivered," you'll know that the problem is on the recipient's end and unrelated to your carrier.
