Text - Turning off Airplane Mode Internationally

I just returned from Mexico where I kept my phone on "Airplane Mode" to avoid data and roaming charges. When I returned to the United States I turned off "Airplane Mode" and expected to receive text messages that come to me daily from my team at work. After waiting and eventually reseting my phone, I still have not received text messages that were sent while I was in Mexico. Is there a way to access these messages?

The FAQs state it's a five-day window, i.e., "The network will attempt to deliver the message for five days (120 hours) from the date of receipt."

Sorry to hear about the missing texts, kevin.ahrens. If your phone was placed in that mode, the text messages will not come through. There is usually a one to two day window for texts to come through when your phone is either off or in airplane mode. I apologize for the missed texts.

Thanks. Does that mean that after a couple days of having my phone back on

regular mode my old texts should come through?

2 day window when airplane mode is used, since when?

i travel from phx to seattle frequently, using airplane mode & when i turn off airplane mode i generally have text messages from folks i will see after arriving in both phx & seattle.

fwiw:

i charge my phone off & when i power it back up, usually have several text messages.

Turning on airplane mode while internationally traveling turns off my Wi-Fi.

Why does Verizon support keeps saying turning on airplane mode while international traveling still lets you get Wi-Fi.
