SMS is held (accumulated) at the SMS center for 72 hours. SMS
that has accumulated for more than 72 hours is erased. There is
no limit on the number of SMS that can be held.
◎
It may not be possible for the SMS center to hold SMS depending
on conditions of the receiving customer’s phone/service use or
the sending customer’s phone model.
◎
Accumulated SMS is delivered at the following times:
•
Delivery soon after SMS accumulation: as new SMS is
accumulated at the SMS center, all SMS that had been held is
delivered.
•
Delivery with the retry function: if SMS cannot be delivered as
soon as it has accumulated due to the recipient being where
there is an inadequate signal or their phone is switched off, the
retry function repeatedly sends SMS to the recipient for up to
72 hours.
•
Delivery after ending a call: if SMS cannot be delivered as soon
as it has accumulated, all SMS that had been held at the SMS
center is delivered as soon as the customer ends their call.
* The time that SMS is delivered may differ with international SMS.
◎
When sending SMS, the number of the sender is displayed for
the recipient regardless of the “Send caller ID” setting.
◎
Emoji sent to an other-brand cell phone may sometimes be
converted to the other-brand emoji or may not be displayed
properly. Emoji sent to another au cell phone may sometimes be
converted to an older-version au emoji.
◎
A
may be displayed, although rarely, for a sent message that
was sent successfully but where signal was weak, etc.
◎
