SMS Delivery Report Error Codes

Delivery reports track the status of SMS messages from Airship’s third-party providers to your audience and may contain an error_code to describe why your message was not delivered.

Error codes vary by vendor. Review the section below relevant to your message vendor to determine the meanings of error codes.
