Tracking
For each phone number in a CSV file we track the following status for their Text Message:
Queued - The API request to send an outbound message was successful and the message is queued to be sent out by a specific From sender. For messages sent without a Messaging Service this is the initial Status value of the Message resource.
Sending - Twilio is in the process of dispatching the outbound message to the nearest upstream carrier in the network.
Sent - The nearest upstream carrier accepted the outbound message.
Failed - The outbound message failed to send. This can happen for various reasons including queue overflows, Account suspensions and media errors. Twilio does not charge you for failed messages.
Delivered - Twilio has received confirmation of outbound message delivery from the upstream carrier, and, where available, the destination handset.
Undelivered - Twilio received a delivery receipt indicating that the outbound message was not delivered. This can happen for many reasons including carrier content filtering and the availability of the destination handset.
Receiving - The inbound message was received by Twilio and is currently being processed.
Received - The inbound message was received and processing is complete.
Accepted - [Messaging Service only] Twilio has received your API request to immediatedly send an outbound message with a Messaging Service. If you did not provide a specific From sender in the service's Sender Pool to use, the service is dynamically selecting a From sender. For unscheduled messages to be sent with a Messaging Service, this is the initial Status value of the Message resource.
Scheduled - [Messaging Service only] The Message resource is scheduled to be sent with a Messaging Service. If you schedule a message with a Messaging Service, this is the initial Status value of the Message resource.
