  - `encoding` 'gsm7' | 'ucs2' | 'null', nullable, required: gsm7, or ucs2 when the text has a character outside GSM-7 (an emoji, for example), which makes every segment shorter.
  - `status` 'queued' | 'sent' | 'delivered' | 'failed', required: queued: accepted. sent: handed to the mobile network. delivered: the phone confirmed it. failed: it did not arrive; see error.
  - `error` string, nullable, required: With status failed: a short code, like delivery_failed or sending_failed. Otherwise null.
  - `reference` string, nullable, required: Your own id for this message, as you sent it (an order number, for example).
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required: When we accepted the message.
  - `status_updated_at` string, date-time, nullable, required: When the status last changed.
  - `test` boolean, required: true for a message sent with a test key to a test number. It never reaches a phone.
