Text Messages - delay in getting through

Anonymous
Not applicable

Does anyone know why text messages sent between iPhones all using the O2 network are often delivered hours or even days late?

It can't be reception, because a group message sent to 3 people in the same road/office and 2 get it straightaway and the other gets it the next day or not at all?  

 

This is not a single occurrence.  We are now so wary of messages not gettig through that we are now asking the recipient to acknowledge receipt!  

 

It is also curious that I can have my phone sitting on my desk yet then receive an ansaphone alert when it didnt even ring.  Could this be a way od O2 generating income now that we have to pay for ansaphone messages?
