[Judy b]

hey so my phone broke and i have been gettingalot of people sayen they sent me texts . will i get those messages when my new phone is hooked up with cricket or are they lost forever, no big deal just curious.. THANKS

there is a TTL on them, but you should be ok for a few days. the MMS is a different story, I think they will only stay in queue for 24 hours.

how long was your phone broke for? I've received texts 4 days old after being out of coverage during that time.
