4. Unknown, additional troubleshooting required.
   
   

1. Invitation was sent to a landline

If you see this message: 
This phone number belongs to a landline. Try again with a mobile phone number.

 

That means: 
Phone number used is a land-line, not a mobile phone number. This number will not work for a Streem call. 

What to do:
Please ask your customer for a mobile (smartphone) number OR email an invitation link.

 

2. Invitation was blocked by privacy tools

If you see this message: 
Unable to deliver SMS invitation (spam filtering or restricted number). Click Invite to retry, or try a Link & Code invitation.

That means: 
Your customer has a restricted number or a spam filtering system that is blocking your invitation.

 

What to do:
If your customer can easily adjust the filter that blocked the invitation, then you can click Invite to resend OR send an invitation link to their email address.

 

3. Connection timed out

If you see this message: 
Oops the connection timed out. If your customer did not receive the invitation, click Invite to retry. 

 

That means: 
The invitation system waited 20 seconds but could not confirm that the invitation was successfully sent to your customer. 

 

What to do:
Please check if your customer received the invitation. If not, click Invite to resend.

4. Unknown error, additional troubleshooting required

If you see this message: 
Something went wrong. Please try again. 

 

That means: 
The invitation was not delivered and the system cannot determine where the error occurred. 

 

What to do:
Try to resend the invitation by clicking Invite. If you get another unknown error, further troubleshooting will be required.
