Can text messages deliver to a dead phone?
Hi Tamara: No. If that device is dead, the message will not be delivered and therefore it will not shown as “Delivered” status.
What happens if someone texts you when your phone is off?
Both the sender and recipient carrier will store the message for at least 30 days even if they aren’t trying to send it all that time. So, if you turn your phone off for a couple of hours, messages will queue up and they will be received. If you turn your phone off for a week, almost certainly you will lose messages.
Does iMessage turn green when phone dies?
If your iPhone messages are green, it means that they’re being sent as SMS text messages rather than as iMessages, which appear in blue. You’ll always see green when writing to Android users, or when you’re not connected to the internet.
What does it mean when a text is green and doesn’t say delivered?
What this means is that if you’ve exceeded your phone plan’s data limit, or you’re out of range of LTE or Wi-Fi, iMessage won’t work. Your phone will likely resend the text as a green bubble SMS. One way to check if you have access to data is to do a Safari search or refresh your Instagram feed.
What does it mean when iMessage doesn’t say delivered?
The most probable cause is that either their phone is off due to some reason, or they don’t have access to an active internet connection. If their phone is on DND, iMessage will still say ‘Delivered’. Another instance where iMessage doesn’t say ‘Delivered’ is when the sender has blocked you.
What happens to texts that don’t go through?
But when the SMS doesn’t get delivered on the first try, it is automatically re-sent in certain intervals. When the phone is available again, the message gets delivered. If a certain amount of time passes without the SMS being successfully delivered, your mobile carrier might decide to stop trying.
