Requesting MMS Delivery Receipts for MM4 users

Mara Wallace

Updated

MMS Delivery Receipts (DLRs) are now live for MM4 users! If you were previously requesting DLRs on messages sent over the MM4 interface, you may have noticed that you didn’t consistently receive a response. Bandwidth will support providing delivery information for all requests when it‘s available. 

Requesting MMS DLRs for MM4 interface

If you’re sending messages over the MM4 interface, you’ll still need to request a DLR by enabling the X-Mms-Delivery-Report field in message type MM4_Forward.REQ. If a downstream carrier sends a MM4_Delivery_Report.REQ, Bandwidth will forward the message to the sender. Bandwidth’s Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC) will insert an internal error code and text in the X-Internal-Status-Code and X-Mms-Status-Text field before forwarding a DLR from the downstream carrier back to the sender.
