perhaps they were under emergency court order to not deliver texts for a

some type of non-disclosure / secrecy directive continues to exist… may
have just had to come up with something to say because their other
agreements would not have permitted discarding the texts… <br>

Reading Syniverse's cause of trouble (lame excuse) tells me their data

communication is important. I’d be very interested in their
reasoning for why these messages were not sent and held.<br>

<dd>how do you inadvertently send messages that were supposed to be sent
but worked and sent? Isn’t that the desired outcome?<br><br>
