Valid point that I'd put as almost edge case.

But it does make me wonder if the scheduled message is stored and sent 
from the (say) phone, or if it is stored and sent from an Apple server. 
Not sure if the keynote made that clear.

Easy enough to test.  Send a delayed text, then turn off the phone for 
the time that the message should be sent...
