Not receiving text messages

Anonymous
Not applicable

I regularly do not receive text messages sent to me, sometimes for hours. Today my girlfriend texted me at 10:07 and again at 10:18 -  I was expecting her to message me, I sent her texts which she did receive, I turned my phone off & on again about 4 times - I eventually got the texts from her at 12:00.

This is not a rare occurrence - I'm tempted to blame my phone - Sony Experia Arc S, but I had similar problems with my previous Nokia, so we're thinking it has to be the network. My girlfriend is on Vodafone, maybe things will be better if I switch network when my contract is up, but does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions please?

The SIM card is less than a year old - I went into an O2 shop last year sometime - the guru person was fully booked but one of the other staff changed the card for me.
