Cannot send SMS message when there is no network.

[Karol Dzięgiel]

I am unable to send a SMS message when there is no network (no coverage). I think that the System should save the message and automatically send the SMS when the telephone will find the coverage. It's very frustrating because to send a SMS in poorly coveraged area I have to wait a few minutes and try sending the message.

Affects me too, just want to refer to this bug as my opinion on this issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/messaging-app/+bug/1442582

when I send a text and I don't have reception at the time, I don't want to wait around for reception before I manually resend it, I want the message to send automatically when I get reception.

Id like to prepare a text and send it and let the phone manage that, this is a requisite of a smart-phone my phone knows I'm trying to send a text and should try and send the text when it can.

Having to manually resend the text is not very "smart"

We should store such SMS as a Draft.
Sending it after network is available is very risky, as there could be Roaming enabled after getting network.
