Back in the jailbreaking iPhone days, there was a SMS replacement app in Cydia that had an toggable user-defined # of minutes delay in sending a text. Once set, you can exit out of the message and app, and it will still send automatically. I know that GoSMS and Handcent both have ways to set the future date and time to send the text, but I'm looking for something to delay the send by 3 minutes, or 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, etc.
This feature would be great because during a text conversation with friends, I sometimes want to write my response right away, but don't want to send it right away, so the pace of the conversation can be managed. Or if I'm in the subway with no reception, I can quickly delay the send time by 10 minutes, when I know I'll be in the street with reception.
This would be much quicker than having to go to Scheduled Tasks section, write a new text, select the recipient, then check the date/time, blah blah blah.
Anything like this out there?

Vodafone have recently been charging me for text messages, even though I'm within my limit.
I emailed them, and they said some texts/calls are chargable. One of the charges was for "Picture messages, long texts etc"
Now, I often do send long texts (although I always have done and have never been charged before...)
My question is, does the Hero split long texts up into two messages on the recipient's phone, or does it send it as MMS?
Wassup Looie..
If they go over a cetain limit... i think its 4+ texts.. it will convert it to a MMS and sent it that way instead of 4 split texts.
I just tried texting some1 with 4 pages worth of text.. and it refuses to send i dont think i have MMS set up. But i remember sum1 text me a long message, and i recieved a 1kb MMS msg instead of texts. So maybe thats why they're charging u!

yeah, I've never sent a text message over 4 texts, especially not 30 times!
Guess I'm going to have to ring up again
Thanks
Is anyone else noticing it takes longer than usual (for an android phone) to send an SMS? I sent a 5 message long SMS (700+ characters) and it was on "Sending" for almost a minute. I know it takes longer to send longer messages, but on previous phones (D1, Fascinate), the "Sending" process would work in the background - so I can actually do other stuff on the phone while it sends. But the HTC Messaging app sends in the foreground, so I'd have to wait until it finishes sending to continue using the phone. I assume this is just the HTC Messenger app itself?
No issue w/ that on my end; however, had issues sending/receiving likely due to a previously discussed issue that a reply to number is sent with the messages initially that results in your friends not being able to reply back. A simple reboot seems to fix that for most people or you can disable that option in the messages menu from what I've read... but hadn't heard anything about delays in sending long messages yet...
I send a text then 30 seconds later receive a text. The received text displays as if it was received prior to when mine was sent.
I have my phone set to network time. I believe this is happening because the network time between the carriers must be different. The text comes in with a timestamp 30 seconds prior to the local phone time when the phone gets the text.
I guess I will try manually synchronizing the clock and disabling network time.
Has anyone experienced this?
My phone will receive split texts, usually just too far apart. I'll get the first 160 characters, then the next 30 or 40 or whatever it may be up to a minute later. Any fix for this? Is there any way through any app to automatically turn a text of 160+ characters into an MMS message, or am I pretty much just stuck with this?
There is proper delayed of 10-15 seconds in between the moment I press send and the message is sent (1 tick appears) from my Sprint M9, the delay happens on all apps and it happens on WIFI and Mobile data both. This has really frustrated me and I really want to get rid of it already. Apart from that when I receive messages on whatsapp or snapchat I get the notification an hour or two late, this although doesnt happen with messenger, notifications of messenger are received instantly. Please help
