####I get 'delivery failed' on my messages
If you get delivery failed on images its probably because the recipient lost
network connectivity during recepiton. In that case you can try it again at a
later time.
For text messages the answer to your question is a little bit more complex.
'delivery failed' on text messages is always something that is being reported by
the server. The most common reason for this is that the recipient failed to
resume a connection. When a client loses connectivity for a short time the client
usually has a five minute window to pick up that connection again. When the
client fails to do so because the network connectivity is out for longer than
that all messages sent to that client will be returned to the sender resulting
in a delivery failed.
Other less common reasons are that the message you sent didnt meet some
criterias enforced by the server. (Too large, too many) Another reason could be
that the recipient is offline and the server doesnt provide offline storage.
Usually you are able to distinguish between these two groups in the fact that
the first one happens always after some time and the second one happens almost
instantly.
