Most text messages will be sent to the destination within a few minutes, but it can take up to 48 hours for a text message to be received.
When you cannot send SMS or the other side does not receive it:
- Check that you have an SMS balance left in your plan. If not, you can always buy a booster
- If the recipient is roaming abroad, SMS may be delivered later or not delivered, depending on the country
- On Android phones, you can set the SMS service number - make sure it’s set to +9647802999920
- Try switching your phone off and back on, and send it again
- If nothing else works, take the SIM card and put it into another phone. This will help you see if the problem is related to your phone or to your SIM card
When you cannot receive SMS:
- Some phones (iPhones for example) have SMS filters, automatically placing messages they think as spam in separate folders
- External applications like Truecaller or Hiya can also filter out SMS on your phone if you ask them to
MMS:
We do not support MMS. That thing seemed like a neat idea 20 years ago, but now there are so many easier ways to send pictures.

What's the point of not supporting MMS?
If you guys don't support RCS then do something about this. Nobody wants to send hi-res pictures over MMS. A simple sticker or a little GIF would do.
You guys should've made it clear instead of burying that under a dozen of articles.
