Is anyone very experienced with the Twilio SMS Service?

I keep getting Error 30003 for some receivers: [Unreachable destination handset | Twilio](https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/errors/30003)

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.

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 :).
