# Message status command

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

* View reports in your Developers’ Central account (these can also be exported to a CSV file);
* Enable the Callback system, which will automatically push HTTP requests to your server whenever the status of a message changes. The HTTP request will contain information about the message status and charge. This is triggered in near real-time.
* Use the Query Message API command to query the status of a single message.

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