consider what this meaning implies in the context of business SMS communications.

What is the Meaning of “Sent as SMS via Server?”
In regards to an SMS message that you receive with a “delivered” notice that says “sent as SMS via server” or “sent as an SMS via server,” this notification means that the sender created this message using a device other than a mobile phone – that is, the “server” referred to in the notice. Practically speaking, this server may be a computer, laptop, tablet, or specialist application with Wi-Fi access.

Users of Android smartphones will typically see a “sent as SMS via server” advisory when the person they are about to text is no longer connected to RCS or Rich Communication Services. This is an advancement on traditional SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service), which was introduced in 2007 to offer a much wider range of features for text messages, more in line with modern instant messaging apps.

On Android, “sent as SMS via server” typically indicates that a reliable RCS connection has not been established. Under Rich Communication Services, both parties must be connected to an RCS service profile for seamless communication.

If the recipient’s connection isn’t perfect, RCS defaults to sending the message as a regular SMS through its server to avoid an unnecessary delay. Under these conditions, the message recipient does not have the usual read receipts of “Sent, Delivered, or Read” visible.
