Phone troubleshooting

Common call quality and SMS delivery issues.

4 min read Updated 2026-04-24

SMS not delivering

  • US: A2P 10DLC not registered — most common cause.
  • Content flagged by carrier — URLs in first message, all caps, or spammy keywords.
  • Recipient in DND list.
  • Unverified toll-free number — verify to lift throttles.

Call drops or echo

  • Check internet — VoIP needs ~100 kbps stable.
  • Browser microphone permission denied.
  • Headset mic and speaker picking each other up — use a headset with echo cancellation.
