  • iphone not noticing failed text messages to landlines

    So I send text messages to a landline phone that
    doesn't receive text messages and the iphone
    does not acknowledge the failed messages, it
    makes it appear that the messages exist.

    Formerly, explicit warnings were given when
    trying to text to a landline.

    So this is a regression. The iphone shows
    messages as being sent that weren't.

    It should be clear in context that it is an example
    of a phone that does not accept text messages.

    Formerly, the iphone gave warnings that the phone
    number was not a cell number, now it is not
    giving any warnings and pretends that the texts
    have been sent when they haven't.
