Issue

Recipients receive messages after a significant delay.

Possible Causes and Solutions

The issues with messages received by recipients after a significant delay can have several reasons:

Reason 1. High Traffic Volume

During peak times, message delivery may be delayed. Consider scheduling messages during off-peak hours.

Please refer to the Sending Schedule section to learn how to set the time and date when your SMS messages will be sent.

Reason 2. Carrier Delays

Some carriers may experience delays. Unfortunately, this is beyond CommPeak's control.
