Carrier filtering

Carrier filtering is the process by which mobile carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) decide whether to deliver, throttle, or block business SMS based on sender reputation, content, link reputation, and complaint history.

Why it matters

Cannabis triggers heightened filtering scrutiny across all three major U.S. carriers. Generic SMS tools that don't model carrier behavior get filtered — often silently, with no error returned.

How it affects messaging performance

Filtered messages don't bounce — they disappear. Operators see a 'sent' status but the subscriber never receives the text. The only way to detect it is active monitoring of per-carrier delivery rates.
