Sent v Delivered status
Normally, a status update is securely sent back from the mobile network/provider to let us know whether the message was delivered or if there was a problem. When we receive that information, the status is updated accordingly in the related referral and Text Messages tab.
However, not all mobile networks/providers send these updates back. If we don't receive any further response after the messages are sent, so the status remained as Sent.
