Click to retry sending SMS now
This may be a city issue, but when I'm texting on the subway, I get very splotchy service. When sending messages and you lose service, you get the 3 blue dots, saying it will try to send again in some(who knows ?) timeout. well when you get service again, these are not suddenly or quickly sent and it waits for the timeout or sometime they get stuck in timeout limbo and you just have to delete them later (maybe that's a bug)
There should be an option to click on the message and "retry now" that overrides that timeout (which should you should be able to set somewhere, as I think it's really slow)

Yes, there are many requests (all with small number of votes - should be combined!) for an _automatic_ retry. This of course should be present, ideally with a logarithmic retry interval before timeout (e.g. try again in 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 minutes, etc). But there's a real need for a _manual_ resend option (which would reset the automatic retry period). We can often tell when we have signal restored and want to try resend *now*.
