11 | Sent | The message has been sent to the mobile network - delivery notification has not yet been received. | Message has been sent, but we have not yet received the delivery receipt back. Recipients likely have already receieved the message as and there is usually a small delay between receiving the message and getting the delivery state back into the Message Centre. Some messages will also stay in “Send” state for longer when we cannot reach the recipient in the first attempt and have to try to reach them multiple times.

If we can’t reach the recipient during this time, we will expire the message. | Sending |
