When your SO says their phone is broken and their messages sometimes don’t go through. Should you believe them?

why or why not

I believe that SMS is not receipt guaranteed. If you need that feature, there are other apps available. Most likely you've already been using one and your SO is lying. I think the default Android app and the Imessenger app both have receipt confirmation, but don't take my word on it, read up on the specs.

He doesn’t have iPhone or android. He has an Obama phone

Well there you go, case closed. If he's using SMS, the technical specification specifically says that there's no guarantee of reliability. You can trust him on that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS

When the tech was being developed the intended use case was like people texting each other inconsequential data. They didn't envision it being a critical infrastructure to romance.

Believe me, I think I might have been fucked hard by some miscommunication because of packet loss.

I think the greater lesson to learn is that you should trust your heart. Be open and honest and don't send critical super serious, miss this text and our relationship could be over type texts.

Voice call. When you hear each other's voices, you will express yourselves honestly.

C'mon now... please do not tell me that you are buying this line. It didn't go through because he was trying to hide from the girl he was with... How long have you two been together?

[Applesausefish]

He told me his messages arnt being delivered correctly. But when I call he picks up quick

[Guy13]

Okay then. At least his phone is working. Be careful….

[Applesausefish]

Yeah glad I didn’t fly off the handle

[Guy13]

Sounds like you got it under Control ;-)

[Alex8736]

That's the biggest crock of shit. Wait till you and your SO are together and watch how fast they reply to their texts Definite no brainer

Oldest trick in the book. Except it’s not a trick he’s just lying.
