Under the most recent message you sent, Blujay shows where it is, the same way your iPhone does in Messages.

What each status means

Only your latest sent message shows a status, to keep the conversation easy to read.
Blujay doesn’t tell your contacts when you’ve read their messages.

When a message says Not Delivered

A message that couldn’t be sent shows Not Delivered in red, and the conversation shows a red alert icon in your inbox. Blujay doesn’t resend it automatically, and doesn’t switch it to a different kind of message. To try again:
  1. Copy the text of the message.
  2. Send it again as a new message.
If it fails again, check the reasons below.

Why a message might not be delivered

  • The number can’t receive it. For example, it’s a landline, or the number is no longer in service.
  • You sent a lot of messages in a short time. Each Blujay number has a limit on how many messages it can send in an hour. Wait a while, then send again.
  • The attachment isn’t supported. SMS can only carry photos, videos and contact cards, up to 5 MB in total. See Sharing links, photos and videos.
Lots of messages from one number suddenly say Not Delivered? Stop sending from that number and email support@blujay.io right away. We’ll check the number and help you get back to sending.
If one of your messages to a contact can’t go out as iMessage, your next message to them may go out as a text message instead. Check what the message box says before you send.

Messages that don’t send at all

Sometimes Blujay can’t send a message, and keeps your draft in the message box instead with a note at the top of the conversation.
Each Blujay number can only start a certain number of new conversations a day. You can still message people you’ve already talked to, choose a different number under From, or wait until tomorrow. See Your first text to a new lead.
This contact asked not to be contacted, so Blujay blocks messages and calls to them. Only choose Restore messaging if they’ve clearly asked to hear from you again. See Following up.
Replying to a specific message only works on iMessage. Send a regular message instead.
