SMS does not arrive - why is that?

Unfortunately it happens again and again that an SMS does not arrive. Here we tell you what that could be.

SMS do not arrive - what to do?

There can be many reasons why an SMS does not reach the recipient. It is particularly often due to one of the following problems:

• First of all, check your reception. If you are in a dead zone, you cannot send an SMS.
• If the recipient's cell phone cannot be reached for a long time, the sending of an SMS can be canceled automatically. Check with your network operator about the maximum shipping time to avoid this problem.
• Test the SIM card in another cell phone and check the cell phone the other way around with a second SIM card. This way you can rule out defects in one or both.
• The network can be slightly overloaded, especially at large events and on public holidays. So don't be surprised, for example, on New Year's Eve when an SMS does not arrive or takes longer.
