[QUOTE="gcyrust1531, post: 1706233, member: 371963"] So, here is my question. My friend has an iPhone 6S on T-Mobile, but their account is currently suspended for non-payment. As a result, they can only use the device for iMessages when they are connected to Wi-Fi. Keep that in mind, their account is suspended so text messages will not default to SMS since her carrier has suspended the account. When I send texts to their phone number it immediately says "delivered", but I know they have not received them because once again they can only send and receive when connected over Wi-Fi and they do not have continuous access to a Wi-Fi connection. So, several questions. 1. I assume my phone says delivered because the iMessage has been accepted by the Apple server but not neccesarily actually appearing on the recipient's device yet? 2. How long will Apple attempt to deliver the iMessage while their phone is not connected? 3. If Apple will attempt to deliver indefinitely then I assume the message will appear once the device connects to Wi-Fi regardless of how long they were not connected? 4. If the Apple server does delete the message since it could not be delivered will I get a notice back saying undeliverable? Again, keep in mind, their is no carrier option for delivery of their texts. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
