End User |
The end user is temporarily un-reachable as they are not correctly on their operator network. |
The end-user should ensure that there is sufficient network coverage available to their handset to receive SMS MT messages. |
End User |
The end user’s SIM card is full, and no further SMS MT messages can be delivered |
The end user should ensure that any unwanted SMS MT messages are removed to resume SMS MT delivery. |

MT messages which return a DB62 response can be escalated to the Service Desk for further clarity, if the MT message was submitted with a handset acknowledgement request. |
Raise a single user issue (SUI) ticket to the Service Desk (SD), detailing the OrderID, MSISDN and date/time the MT message was sent, so that the SD team can investigate. |
