Auto-Pause

Automatic device pausing after 4+ carrier rejections in 15 minutes. Prevents worsening carrier bans by stopping SMS sending for 30 minutes.

Home / Glossary / Auto-Pause

Auto-pause is a protection feature in MySMSGate that automatically pauses a device when the carrier starts blocking messages.

How It Works

  1. Phone sends SMS normally
  2. Carrier rejects 4+ messages within any 15-minute window
  3. Device is auto-paused for 30 minutes
  4. Pending messages stay in queue (not lost)
  5. After 30 minutes, sending resumes automatically

Why It Matters

Carriers flag numbers that send too many messages too quickly. Continuing to send during a soft-block makes it worse. Auto-pause gives the carrier time to cool down, protecting your number from permanent blocks. The 15-minute rolling window matches how carrier anti-spam systems actually rate-limit — counting rejections by time, not by a fixed message count.
