Well, that was in fact sent to two minutes. But those messages Hung around for longer than that. I got them yesterday. They were present this morning. They were absent this afternoon. And technically, I don't know if they count as audio messages, as it said attached media in both cases. Maybe that's what an audio message is. I get so few messages. In any case, I was lucky, because the person was able to resend the messages without any problem. I have set that keep audio messages setting to forever. so if that was the problem, I guess I should be good to go. Mary
