# Message status command

There are multiple ways to keep track of your message delivery status and charges:

* Reports within your Developer’s Central account (view online or export a CSV),
* The Callback system can automatically push HTTP requests to your server whenever the status of any message changes. The HTTP request will contain information about the message status and charge. This is triggered almost instantly.
* Querymsg API command can be used to query the status of a single message.
* Getmsgcharge API command can be used to query the status and charge of a single message.

The Callback system is the most efficient (and preferred) solution as it does not require you to poll our system to track the progress of a message.

```
GET https://help.clickatell.com/developers-api-reference/developers-archive/sms-http-s-api/message-status-command.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
