Long delay in receiving text messages

[Alex_Axby]

Someone sent me a text message a couple of days ago, and it took me over 12 hours to receive it. The timestamp on the text said 8:44 pm, but I didn't receive it until sometime the next morning, over 12 hours later. Why is there such a long delay?

I think it was probably something like this. Someone else mentioned 2FA messages, and I realized that I get those pretty much isntantly.

@Alex_Axby  I had this happen once, turned out the sender had hit send then turned off the phone for the night before it actually went.  When they restarted the phone the next day the message then sent.

@Alex_Axby reboot the phone once 

if Android, try to clear cache on the messaging app and test again

if iPhone, make sure Carrier Profile updated and you have latest iOS

@Alex_Axby - There shouldn't, are you in a poor coverage location? How about sending messages to the same recipient or trying to get a 2FA code?
