How long are text messages sent to me 'cached' by Koodo while my phone is in Airplane mode?

I tried searching Koodo's FAQ but I couldn't find anything (or I couldn't use the right search terms)

Basically - If I travel somewhere and put my phone in Airplane mode for a week (or two weeks) and someone sends me a text message on the first day I leave...Will I receive that text message when I turn Airplane mode off? (And if so - does anyone know how long those messages are cached for?)

Thanks!

From personal experience, a few days. I don’t have an exact number though.

I can flag a rep if you’d like to see if they can provide one?

Hello @Rasto 

If the handset is powered off, or outside the coverage area, the Koodo network will attempt to deliver them for up to 5 days, this can be up to 100 text messages.

Awesome!  Thanks all! 

For @Darius Koodo : I’m going to assume that handset being powered off is the same as being in airplane mode.

It indeed behaves in the same way as the device being powered off or outside the coverage area.
