# What does NO_ROUTE (Route is not defined) mean?

Your message was not sent because **no route is defined** for this send - for example the destination, sender, or product has no configured route to the operator. The system could not find a path to deliver the message.

**What you can do:** Contact support or check your account/route configuration. Ensure a route is set up for the destination and sender you are using.
