I believe Syniverse only comes into play when you text someone on a different carrier than your own. Syniverse is basically the middle-man for that message delivery, and a server of theirs just spooled ~150k messages until someone rebooted/fixed that server.
It sounds like these messages were never originally delivered to begin with, so "re-sent" is not exactly accurate. -- Trevor Manternach On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 10:56 AM Brandon Svec <bs...@teamonesolutions.com> wrote: > From: > https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2019/11/08/thousands-people-just-got-text-messages-sent-valentines-day/2527660001/ > > It seems there is a company that has everyone's text messages.. > > "Some mobile carriers rely on a third-party text platform called > Syniverse to relay messages.
