Can you cancel a text message while it is sending?

If you are already willing to Jailbreak your phone, you might as well get biteSMS for free.

File this under practical applications of the death grip.

=P

I don't doubt someone made that joke already, but saw this thread title and it was the first thing to come to mind.

The send button should just turn into a cancel button after you hit send.

i agree the only thing you can really do is quickly open Settings and turn on Airplane mode.. This will work vs. turning the phone off.

Great app for those that act first and think later. I fail to see the need for this. When I send an email, I proof read, then ask myself, "Am I sure I want to send this?", then send....same is true for texting. Do you need a cancel button for when you hit call, but then decide you don't want to talk? lolwut?

I always just tapped the edit button and deleted it before it sent.

Sometimes you just hit the send button by accident before you're done composing the message. That has happened to me several times.

Oh lord, I can't even begin to tell you. This happens so often. Trying to hit O or P often results in a prematurely sent message.

I hear you. That's why Bitesms is a Godsend for me. Can't tell you how nice it is to be able to cancel a text after a misfire😀.

"I don't do this because I'm perfect so the OP and other people can't do it either because that just wouldn't make any sense if they could do it they way I do!" lolwut?

Or you are me and text fast and every single text isn't a grammatically correct, proof-read book.
