I sent a friend a text a few days and have received no reply (this
sometimes happens with my texts!). I see the details show 'status
65536'. I tried to Google this but could not understand a word of the
explanation. Does this mean the message is undelivered?

65535 decimal is 0xFFFF in hex, the maximum that fits in a 16bit integer
it is equivalent to -1 as a signed integer, which might internally be
used a a flag to mean "unknown status" ...

It's happened again. How do I avoid getting charged with stalking
this woman if I keep sending the text :-)

She did receive it. I said I thought 65536 might have been
hexadecimal code for f*** off.
