The fake DLR or fake delivery receipts

What is a fake DLR?

Fake for fake, DLR for delivery receipt. The fake DLR is a fake delivery receipt claiming that your SMS has been delivered when in fact the operator or aggregator has rejected the message. In other words, it is a deception of the delivery status of your SMS.

Almost all SMS messages generate two DLR s: a delivery receipt and a delivery report. The delivery receipt indicates whether the message is accepted or rejected. The delivery report indicates whether the message was sent or failed and the reasons for the failure.

These SMS status changes are crucial, especially when sending large campaigns. The DLR also provides valuable information about the route your SMS messages are taking, the time of delivery, whether they are queued, whether they have not yet arrived.
