Every international delivery receipt carries two outcome fields: Branch your logic on ERRORCODE. Use ERRORDESP for reporting buckets.
These are OneXtel platform codes, not raw operator codes. Operators return a much wider and less consistent set, which the platform normalises onto the generic codes below — which is why some conditions appear under more than one code. The mapping is under active review, so confirm it against your own account before you hard-code against it.

Where the message stopped

A 9xxxxx code means the message never reached an operator. Those are the ones you can resolve yourself.

Delivered

Handset, subscriber and network — 001–044

The message reached the operator but was not delivered. Some of these describe a temporary condition worth retrying; others are a permanent property of the number.
Some conditions appear under more than one code — 001 and 033 both report an unknown subscriber, 027 and 029 both report an absent subscriber. Treat them as equivalent when you bucket results.

Platform — 9xxxxx

Returned when the platform stopped the message before submission, or never received a final receipt for it.
900111 and 900210 look similar but are set at different levels. No balance means the account itself has nothing left to spend. Credit limit breached means a configured ceiling was reached — these are applied per country and per user, so one destination or one user can stop while the rest of the account keeps sending.
900124 (EXPIRED) is not a delivery failure. It means the operator never returned a final state in time. Counting it as failed will understate your delivery rate.

Retry guidance

The platform does not currently retry on a per-code basis. Failover today happens at the gateway level — if a gateway is down, traffic moves — but a message that comes back 031 or 030 is not automatically re-attempted. Any retry on a specific error code has to be yours.
The Retry? column reflects the standard meaning of each condition — a barred or unprovisioned number will not start working on a second attempt, while an absent or busy handset often will. It is guidance for building your own retry policy, not a description of platform behaviour.
Codes marked “No” describe a permanent property of the destination. Repeated sends to them cost credit without any prospect of delivery — the useful response is to suppress the number, not to retry it.
