“SMS API delivery failed” usually means the message was accepted by your API call but could not be delivered to the recipient’s phone. The exact error code meaning depends on the SMS provider.

Common reasons include:

  • Invalid phone number format
  • Unreachable or switched-off recipient phone
  • Carrier/network issues
  • Message content blocked by carrier filters
  • Unverified sender ID or sender number
  • Insufficient account balance or quota
  • API authentication or permission problems
  • Temporary provider outage

Common delivery failure codes often map to things like:

  • Invalid number
  • Unknown subscriber
  • Message blocked
  • Spam detected
  • Network error
  • Expired message
  • Rejected by carrier

If you share:

  1. the SMS provider name (Twilio, AWS SNS, MessageBird, Vonage, etc.), and
  2. the exact error code/message,

I can tell you the specific meaning and how to fix it.
