Enroute: The message has been sent from us to the carrier as, accepted by the carrier and is about to be sent to the recipient.
Delivered: The message has been received by the recipient's device.
Expired: The time limit (TTL) for the message has expired, the message has not reached the recipient. This may be because the recipient's mobile has been switched off, out of coverage or if the recipient has been abroad while roaming has been disabled.
Deleted: The message has been sent to the operator, but then deleted from the outgoing queue before it has been delivered to the recipient. The recipient has therefore not received the message. This can be due to several reasons, such as that the subscription has been switched off, limitations in the subscription and/or errors with the operator.
Undeliverable: About the same as Expired, although this can be given before the time limit (TTL) has expired. Can depend on incorrect receiver unit, or restrictions in the subscription such as roaming etc.
Accepted: Same as Enroute, but usually given only shortly after it is sent.
Invalid: The number is incorrect in some way, or there are restrictions in the subscription.
Rejected: Limitations in the subscription and/or the recipient's device. May also be due to too many messages being sent within a certain time period or other restrictions set by the operator.
Unknown: Set by SMS Teknik when the status has not arrived after the TTL has passed.
