# Messages on the handset

> Reading and sending messages with no signal — what you see is as new as your last sync.

The same conversations as [messages](/work/messages) in the desktop app, read and sent from wherever
you actually are — which, for the reason you'd message a planner at all, is usually somewhere they
aren't.

## What that costs, said plainly

Threads and their messages came down in the last sync and are read from the device — nothing here
waits on a request. What you're reading is as new as your last sync, and what you send sits in the
outbox until the phone finds a signal, the same as any other queued action. The screen says both
things rather than pretending you have a live conversation.

A message you send is replayed safely however many times the queue retries it, and can still be
refused for one reason: you were removed from the conversation while the phone had no signal. That
refusal lands on the **Sync** tab with your text still on the device, unsent rather than lost.

## Mentioning a job, an asset or a colleague

The `#` and `@` pickers work here too, over the jobs, assets and colleagues this handset holds — a
smaller list than the desktop's, and the only one available in a plant room. It's stated on screen
rather than assumed.
