Note: If it looks like your text messages are being delivered, but the recipient isn't getting them, it may be a case of a carrier blocking you number. Outreach recommends trying another SMS number owned by another carrier. To view which carrier owns a phone number, visit the LNR Look up tool at Aperion.com.
