How to tell if an iMessage was sent to a landline

If I send a message thinking that the number is a cell phone but, instead is a land line, is there any way to tell?


Also, if the message says “delivered”, is it safe to assume it is definitely a cell phone number?


Thanks!

Texting to a Landline:

You'll get an error message, because you are routing a cellular message to a landline.
