Common error messages

Many errors are related to SMS registration (A2P 10DLC). If you send text messages from your Easy Storage Solutions software, you must register your business brand/s and phone numbers to prevent your messages from being blocked by mobile carriers. Messages will not be delivered until you are successfully registered.
