Unable to receive text when text is sent at the same time.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Don't know how to clearly describe this but basically (I've tested with other phones) Whenever I'm sending a text and if there was an incoming text (just sent) I wouldn't be able to receive the text(s) and it would take a few or even several minutes after to receive them. Is this normal because it's actually quite irritating? Or am I just treating texts too much of an IM?

I'm using an iPhone 5 and I don't know whether this is a network problem or the handset/settings as there are no problems receiving texts on my brother's Galaxy S3. He receives and sends texts simultaneously without a problem whereas mines all just flood in all at once. 

Thanks!

Text messages are not an instant message service and can be delayed .

Many threads on here about iphones getting batches through in one go etc

If this continues then why not visit your local 02 shop to speak to a guru in order to ensure all the settings etc are at their optimum.

Who knows maybe they may be able to diagnose the issue.

I use the iPhone 5 and have had no issues receiving texts as I send one or within a call or within data use so it does work !
