Most Frequent Issues
--------------------

[](#most-frequent-issues)

### Sending a message returns false.

[](#sending-a-message-returns-false)

This is usually due to your webserver unable to send a request to Nexmo. Make sure the following are met:

1. Either CURL is enabled for your PHP installation or the PHP option 'allow\_url\_fopen' is set to 1 (default).
2. You have no firewalls blocking access to rest.nexmo.com/sms/json on port 443.

### Your message appears to have been sent but you do not recieve it.

[](#your-message-appears-to-have-been-sent-but-you-do-not-recieve-it)

Run the example.php file included. This will show any errors that are returned from Nexmo.
