Sending sms when no reception

[markyboy81]

I'm frequently in an area that has patchy mobile reception. In the past, i've had symbian devices and when sms sending has failed, the phone has tried to re send a couple of minutes later. I've come from an iPhone 4s and I know that that doesn't have the feature, but was wondering if the s3 does. I was sending a message last night and I received a pop up that I think said something along lines of 'message will be sent when signal returns' or something. Can anyone confirm? This would be a really great feature.

IIRC, it notifies you that it wasn't sent and tells you that its in draft where you can re-send it. I don't know if it automatically re-sends.

It only happened once and it was a while ago, so take my info with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the reply, I recall seeing some notification that it would resend when reception came back, but it disappeared quite quickly so I can't be sure!

Yeah if there is no signal when you try and send the message the phone will automatically send it when you get reception! Cool huh?
