SMS from Globus can be undelivered for multiple reasons.

  • There is no coverage so the device is offline

  • The device is turned off for a long period (the network will retry for a set number of hours until message is rejected)

  • Blocking of SMS on device (spam)

  • Blocked sender

Some guides to check if SMS could be blocked on the device.

Android

There are multiple different devices and SMS message apps available, all with different functionality. On Android it is possible to define custom apps as default SMS app, ex using Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or other apps not only for direct messages but also for SMS. Below we cover some ways to check if sms sent from Globus ends up in spam:
