How to Interpret the Results?
When you test SMS suppliers, you will be able to check the detailed results in your dashboard like this:
There is a lot of data, and here are a few explanations that will help you understand them.
There are only four possible results you may get: successful delivery, failed test, undeliverable message, and unroutable test.
— Unroutable test means that there is no number to provide you with for the test. It happens because the numbers may go offline sometimes, but usually, they come back in a few minutes. Notice that we won’t charge you for such type of test.
— Undeliverable status shows that there are might be some problems with your setting, namely with bind set up. Double-check and re-enable it. If it hasn’t helped, the issue may be located on the vendor side, and we can help you to detect it.
— Failed status means that the test is unsuccessful. However, if you see that vendor delivery is done and has a green icon on our platform, but the status of the whole test is failed, it means that fake delivery occurred.
— Successful test means the messages are correctly delivered. At the same time, you may see red icons on the columns “Sender ID” and “Content”. They indicate that the text body or Sender ID went through changes while being delivered. Our platform shows you the initial message and the message that was delivered eventually, and you can compare them and detect the difference.
5 tips on What to Keep in Mind to Get the Accurate Results
Testelium is a great service to conduct an SMS supplier check. You will get a time-proven system that provides unbiased information that can be a ground for evaluating your vendors and improving the quality of your services.
But you can also use these simple principles that will guarantee great accuracy of your testing SMS message sending.
Choose the content of test messages wisely
Never indicate in the content of test messages that it is actually a test! Your vendor may see it and whitelist the testing numbers. In this case, while you will get the perfect results on testing campaigns, the actual delivery may have significantly lower quality.
Run tests at different time
Your goal is to hide the testing numbers, so the vendor will handle them as any other messages. Triggering test texting campaigns at the same time may look suspicious, and vendors will decide to whitelist these numbers.
Double-check the setting
Bind setup is essential for correctly running testing. If you have any doubts, feel free to double-check the settings, reset them or contact our support for guidance.
Don’t use suspicious content for testing
Usually, SMS providers block suspicious SMS content like SMS text scams, spam, or other unpleasant types of messages.
Stay stable even if you detected an issue
When you suspect a problem with the route, don’t increase the number of tests on it. Again, it will show the vendor that you are testing them, and most likely to add numbers to whitelist and devalue your efforts.
