Nononono, that would work.  Umm.  You'd just have to wait until you were 
out of the dead zone before sending.

I mean, any modern messaging system lets you queue a message for sending 
later, right?  Or do you get that feature only with the Windows XP For 
Cellphones' version of Outlook SMS?


(yes, i have an SMS/WAP capable phone, and no, i have no idea how or if it 
works that way... all i know how to do with my phone's SMS is delete 
the messages from my voicemail.)
