Delayed Messages

Hey Everyone!

I just switched to Public Mobile on the weekend from Koodo at a Koodo store. I was wondering if there's a specific reason for delayed text messages?

Any answers / reasons would help!

@z34_eric The location of the sender or recipient can create a delay in text message delivery. SMS isn't an instant messaging service. SMS message is piggyback on the voice channel for delivery. It depends on how busy the voice channel was.

@z34_eric - could be device, network, account/sim related. Hard to know exactly, and hopefully it is just something that clears up on its own.

Some things to try for network issues, are:

restart your phone
toggle into and out of airplane mode
power off, remove and reinsert your SIM card, restart phone
perform a Reset of the device's Network Settings
