What is what does it mean when you text someone and it doesn't say delivered?

When a text message doesn't say "delivered," it means that the message hasn't reached the recipient's device yet. There can be several reasons for this, and it doesn't always mean the person is ignoring you. Here's a breakdown of common causes:

• No Network Connection: The recipient might be in an area with no cellular service or Wi-Fi connection. This is the most common reason. Check out more info about network%20connection%20issues for more details.

• Recipient's Phone is Off: If the person's phone is turned off, the message can't be delivered until it's switched back on. More information about phone%20being%20off can be helpful.

• Airplane Mode: When a phone is in airplane mode, it disables all wireless communication, preventing messages from being delivered. See additional details about airplane%20mode.

• Blocked Number: If the recipient has blocked your number, your messages won't be delivered, and you usually won't receive a notification about it. Read about blocked%20numbers.

• iMessage Issues (Apple Users): For iPhone users, if iMessage is turned off or there's an issue with Apple's servers, messages might not be delivered as iMessages. It may revert to sending as a standard SMS, but sometimes delivery can still be delayed. More details about iMessage%20problems here.

• SMSC (Short Message Service Center) Issues: Occasionally, there might be a problem with the SMSC, which is responsible for handling text messages. This is rare but can cause delays. More information about SMSC%20issues.

• Full Inbox/Storage: Though less common these days with larger storage capacities, if a person's inbox or device storage is full, it might prevent new messages from being delivered until space is cleared. Read more about storage%20problems.

• Temporary Carrier Issues: Sometimes, there might be temporary problems with the recipient's mobile carrier that affect message delivery. Additional info about carrier%20issues can be found here.

It's important to note that "delivered" confirmations aren't always foolproof. Sometimes, a message might show as delivered even if the recipient hasn't actually seen it. Conversely, a message might be delivered but not show as such due to a glitch.
