Fun story. I had a flip phone years ago and you could have multiple recipients to a single text. And if the text was multiple pages, it would split into several texts. And you could resend already sent texts.
So one time I put in my girlfriend’s phone number in all 20 recipient slots. I then filled the text to the max size, though I don’t remember how many it split into. I then resent it over and over. This all took like 2 or 3 minutes.
Her phone was sending notifications over and over for the entire rest of the day. I’d guess at least 8 hours, probably more.
No but it’s unusable. I had a weird bug on one of my phones that sent an SMS over as fast as it could as long as the phone was on. I wrote the initial SMS, the contents were something like “hey, wanna hang?”, and the poor guy on the other side was blasted for several hours of literally constant notifications.
Luckily my plan at the time had unlimited free SMS.
Someone is having a really bad day today. I wonder if your phone dies when you get a certain number of pages or push notifications

Fucking hell I used to love doing that! Man that brought back some memories. Would do it to my co-worker and just piss myself laughing.
The classic txt bomb. I use to do this if I had unused txts at the end of the month
