Verizon Text Messaging: Can you delete a text if it didn't turn into the check mark yet?

[wildflwr14]

Can I delete a message to a fellow Verizon phone if it hasn't gone through because this person is out of the country?

It just has the arrow. If I deleted it, would it go through once the person returns to the US or will it just disappear without the other person knowing I sent it?
yay! just saw this...hope it's true

"Verizon Wireless will attempt to deliver the message when your device is powered on and you are in the Verizon Wireless digital service area. If the device is powered off or you have traveled outside of the Verizon Wireless digital service area, the network will store the message for later delivery. The network will attempt to deliver the message for 5 days (120 hours) from the date of Verizon Wireless' receipt of the message. Messages not delivered within 5 days will be automatically deleted."

It would still be sent to them as long as the message is still on the server when they come back

The lack of a checkmark actually refers to the fact that it hasn't been received. If it's been sent, there's nothing you can do. Sorry about that!

it will only delete off your phone. not theirs.
