SMS delivery receipt flow sequence

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |
  • The client requests for SMS delivery receipt in one of the following ways:

    • The client selects the RegisteredDelivery=1 option in the web service parameter.

    • The client submits a request on a link that is configured for registered delivery.

  • The SMS processor sends a request for the delivery receipt to SMSC based on the client’s request.

  • Upon receiving a delivery receipt from SMSC, the server creates a receipt record in the operational database.

  • The SMS browser launches the configured delivery receipt application and sends the delivery receipt information to the application.

  • Once the browser reads the receipt, the browser deletes the record.

  • The application can use the message Id from the obtained receipt and can accordingly correlate the corresponding outbound SMS for processing the receipt.
