It joins a queue in what called an SMSC which all network providers have. For example, i'm on Orange and you were on O2, the sms would go to Oranges SMSC (Message Centre - that's the number in the settings), join a queue to 'zap' over to O2, where it would then join a queue for messages to your number. That's why sometimes you may not get messages for a couple hours - cos there's a 'traffic jam' of texts waiting to get to you.

On the service providers network. Once the phone switches on it sends a message to the network (you may have heard the interference on your TV or radio as it does it) The network then sends stored communiques.

they're stored for a quantity of time via the cellular telephone companies (would desire to be 3 months or some thing - can't bear in strategies). One reason they're stored is they'd help whilst fixing crimes. in case you left your telephone off for a pair of weeks, you will desire to get the message once you turn your telephone on lower back. I think of that the cellular telephone corporation laptop keeps attempting to deliver your textual content cloth periodically till it quite is registered as won.

It's stored on the service provider's SMS messaging servers until delivery is completed.

Just like a letter that hasn't reached the person yet, it's owned by the Queen.

their inbox, or the network they are using will store it.
The networks are huge (in IT terms) so don't think they can't handle it. They have loads of your money to pay for it all.
I just wonder who makes mobile phones, robots or humans?
