Every once in a while Windows Phone will refuse to send a short message that was composed in threaded view. Seconds after clicking on the "Send" button, the phone will flag the message as undeliverable ("Message could not be sent" or "Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden" with german localization). The sms app then offers to try again which surely is a nice touch but always, with no exception, amounts to nothing, for the message just won't go out. I have tried to send the same message by hitting retry every couple of minutes over the course of about one hour without any luck. Even worse, further sms to the contact in question will also be flagged undeliverable.
There might be a workaround to this issue. During testing I realized that, while messages to, say, "Alice" firmly withstood delivery, messages to "Bob" would relay without a hitch. I then tried to send Alice a second message, however not from threaded view but by composing a new message in list view and inserting Alice as a recipient. This message was delivered immediately, following messages were, too.
Thus the sms delivery bug appears to occur a) sporadically and b) only/mostly when sending messages from threaded view. Composing a new message to the same recipient by clicking the plus sign in list view will mend matters.
Update: The bug appears to have been remedied by the NoDo update. It did not occur ever since I updated.
