SMS Texts - Appear to send but fail or fail later.

We’re experiencing inconsistent SMS delivery and limited visibility into what’s actually happening with our messages. Do others have clear insight into message statuses like sent, delivered, or failed, or are you relying on users to report issues? For those using RingCentral SMS in daily operations, how reliable has it been for you, and how are you ensuring messages are both successfully delivered and seen by your team? This has become a major issue for us since we rely heavily on texting to communicate with clients.

Is anyone else experiencing inconsistent SMS delivery (messages not received, delayed, or not logged at all) in RingCentral—and if so, how are you validating whether the issue is carrier filtering (A2P/10DLC) vs. RingCentral platform behavior?

Is anyone else seeing major delays with SMS in RingCentral (messages sent at one time but not received for hours)? We’ve had cases where time-sensitive messages to parents were delayed by 2–3+ hours—how are you identifying root cause and preventing this?
