First make sure your device is online. Either a wifi or cellular data connection is required for follow up text messages to be sent during an open house.

The next area to check is the content of the text messages. Mobile carriers are taking more severe steps to block spam and misleading text messages from reaching their customers. Sometimes that results in legitimate text messages being blocked. Here are some of the top reasons a carrier will block a text message:

  1. Shortened URLs being included in the text message. Here is a list of the most commonly blocked short-links: bit.ly, 6url.ru, tinyurl.com, ow.ly, tiny.cc, goo.gl, migre.me, t.co, bit.do, x.co.  Whenever possible use the long URL to improve your message deliverability.

  2. Multiple URLs included in a single text message. Block Party allows two texts to be sent after each leads signs in...so if you want to send two links, send each in a different text. 

  3. "Click Here" and other strong calls to action before a URL. Just avoid using this kind of language to improve deliverability. Instead, say "Here's a link to..."
