Mobile phone carriers are doing their best to cut down on spam texts. As a result, they are monitoring and flagging trigger words and phrases that are usually associated with spam. This can cause your message to be unsent even though it was not actually spam.
Read more about this issue here.
One of the big triggers is website addresses. PastorsLine was helping by blocking texts with links that include https/http.
However, it may be that you want to send this text anyway, taking your chances. For large groups of 100 or more, we strongly recommend using multiple numbers. For smaller groups, sending such texts might succeed.
We decided to let you make the call. So, you can now override our recommendations and ‘Send Anyway’. We will record your decision so that in case there is an issue with the text delivery, we will be able to more accurately understand what happened.
