Beside I get charged for a text message so I would have thought there was some warranty implied there. Any one know if that is the case?
alasta:
I would imagine that the telcos have probably contracted out of it in their terms and conditions.

It was never in the terms and conditions. You need to pay a lot more than consumer rates before you start getting guarantees!
EDIT: And even then, you'll only get a guarantee for a target, e.g. that 99% of messages will be delivered within 60s.

The previous poster was suggesting that a guarantee was implied by the fact that they are paying for the service. In an extreme case that could result in a customer suing the telco for the undesirable consequences of missing an important text message.
However I've no doubt that you guys have covered your backsides against this sort of thing.

So if you purchase an Airline ticket and the plane takes off is there a guarantee the plane will get to the desination?

Two important differences. I'm not familiar with GSM but I expect there is a lot more control on an SMS than best effort like UDP. UDP is generally for transient data that is no longer useful if it get there a second late.

The SMS protocol has message ack features in it. I used the features in the Australian network over a decade ago.

SaltyNZ: In any case it does not tell you that the message actually arrived on someone's handset all the time, so it's far better to turn it off altogether.

I would sooner pay $10 for 100 text messages and have a quality service than $10 for 2500 and not have them land when I actually need them there.
Do we have a coms network in New Zealand as a toy for kids or for reliable telecommunications?
