Is anyone very experienced with the Twilio SMS Service?
I keep getting Error 30003 for some receivers: Unreachable destination handset | Twilio
Does it mean, Mautic sends to Twilio - Twilio gives it a try - but when the handset is switched off, it will not retry to deliver at a later time and wait for another API Call to do so?
Do you know if thats the way its implemented in the Twilio Plugin?
As far as I know there is no retrying for SMS messages (I could be wrong).
I do not think here is anything you can do on Mautic side, rather its an issue with the destination number.
Twilio Support KI writes:
The network provider does not queue messages that encounter Error 30003. This error signifies that the message delivery failed because the destination handset is unreachable.
Twilio does not automatically retry messages that fail with Error 30003. If you encounter this error, you should manually attempt to resend the message at a later time.
Your application should handle the retry logic. Twilio does not automatically retry messages that fail with Error 30003. If you encounter this error, you should manually attempt to resend the message at a later time.
OK - if Mautic isn’t doing it either… than its a very unreliable channel.
I mean if you really want a retry mechanism it could be implemented for sure.
Might be a fun challenge :).
