SMS Fallback

Learn how the SMS fallback is handled for failed iMessage send requests

The iMessage route supports graceful fallback for several failure scenarios.

Possible reasons an outbound iMessage send may fail:

  • The subscriber is not capable of receiving iMessages

  • The subscriber has not opted-in via inbound message to the selected Sender Identity

  • The Sender Identity has been disabled, blocked, or banned

  • Our iMessage route is temporarily unavailable

If any of these failures occur, Mobile Text Alerts will fall back to SMS to deliver your message. This helps ensure your subscriber receives your message, even if there's an issue delivering via iMessage.
