The confirm button stays locked

The countdown seems never to end.

All troubleshooting pages

The 60-second delay before each send is counted on the server, not in your browser. That is what makes it reliable, and it also explains the cases where it looks stuck: the browser shows a counter, but the server decides.

The causes, from most to least common

  1. 1

    The delay has not elapsed server-side yet

    The display may have run a second ahead of the server. The button unlocks as soon as the server considers the delay over, never before.

  2. 2

    The page was reloaded

    Reloading speeds nothing up and can void the current authorisation. The counter then restarts from zero on a new request.

  3. 3

    The authorisation expired

    A confirmation left open too long eventually expires. You then have to start again from the form.

  4. 4

    Cookies are blocked

    The authorisation is carried by a signed cookie. If your browser refuses the site's cookies, the server cannot recognise your request.

What to do

  1. 1

    Wait a few more seconds

    Leave the page open without reloading: the button unlocks on its own at the end of the real delay.

  2. 2

    Do not reload the page

    It is the most common reflex and the most counterproductive: it cancels the wait already elapsed.

  3. 3

    Start again from the form if the authorisation expired

    Begin from the home page rather than reusing a tab left open.

  4. 4

    Allow the site's cookies

    The cookie used only carries the sending authorisation; without it, confirmation cannot complete.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this 60-second delay exist?+

It limits automated bulk sending and gives you time to reread the number and the message before they go out.

Can the wait be shortened?+

No. The delay is verified by the server, which makes it independent of anything happening in the browser.
