Can anyone explain why my son has started receiving my text messages hours later instead of instantly ?

We are both O2 customers and both have iPhones.

Maybe network congestion or a build up of static on the sim card.
Try removing the sim and wiping it with a dry cloth and see if it improves at all.

Are they going as iMessages over data or as text messages over the normal voice network ?

Sounds like a network issue. If it continues you should phone o2.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your advice - I am talking about normal text messages.

Two Questions:-

1. Does this problem only occur with your son, or is it with other people as well?

2. Do messages from him to you also take a long time or is it just from you to him?
