2. To get SMS statistics, use the totalsByIntervals method.

You can also view statistics for each message in the Message History section.

Please note that some mobile operators do not transmit delivery status data, so the statistics may need to be more accurate. You can check the details with the mobile operators that provide numbers to your customers.
