WebSMS - irritating app behaviour when connection to the SMS service provider has not been established successfully

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. in certain situations (for whatever reason) WebSMS fails to establish a 
connection to my SMS service provider. The indication for this is that on top 
of the GUI the name of the service provider and the credit balance doesn't show 
up. Instead you see the animated icon indicating that WebSMS is trying to 
establish a connection to the SMS service provider.

2. Now write a message and send it.

3. What I would now expect is a warning message that WebSMS can't transfer the 
message to the SMS service provider. In addition the written text should remain 
in the text field. Instead the written text is being saved as a draft message 
in the Android SMS database file and the text disappears in the text field 
without further notification to the user.

4. This behavior causes additional problems when you write another message to 
the same recipient and you're again not aware of the connection issue with the 
service provider (e.g. because you don't pay attention to the top of the GUI). 
The second message overwrites the draft message in the SMS database. So once 
this happened you lose the previous text irrevocably.

Thank you
