Sms Validity Period

Hi. I'm on Orange PAYG. I send a text to a friend 4 days ago & it hasn't
been delivered yet (i have delivery reports enabled). The persons phone is
off. In the SMS settings on my phone i have the "Validity Period" set to
Maximum. Does anyone know what the maximum validity period is? Is it a week?
Month? Obviously after this period has expired the text will be deleted by
the network. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this helps, but i'm on Orange PAYG and the recipient is on
Vodafone PAYG. Thanks.

AFAIK, it's a month. Not 100% though - but I'm pretty sure.
