I never received a text message from a friend the other day, and we thought someone was ignoring someone (Situation). He recieved my message but I never recieved what he sent. Why is this?
And also something REALLY wierd happnend in a message where something else was sent to me instead of the proper written message. I only found out because the message was a little wierd and didn't make sense. A few words at the end of the text didn't make any sense.
We compared what was sent and what I recieved and they were strangely different (not the whole text but the last sentence).
Orange to O2 by the way. And iPhone 4 to Galaxy Nexus.

I can't find the orginal study I read but here's a link to a reputable tech site that cites 95% sucess
http://www.techmaish.com/here-is-what-you-dont-know-about-sms/
(paragraph 7)
Delivery reports would be great but I imagine they'd generate an aweful lot more network traffic. (Equal more network issues/SMS loss)
Have you tried whatsapp?(or similar) the app provides send/recipt notifications.

An interesting article from Wikipedia about SMS, here's a sample:
Unreliability
Unlike dedicated texting systems like the Simple Network Paging Protocol and Motorola's ReFLEX protocol,[44] SMS message delivery is not guaranteed, and many implementations provide no mechanism through which a sender can determine whether an SMS message has been delivered in a timely manner.[citation needed][45] SMS messages are generally treated as lower-priority traffic than voice, and various studies have shown that around 1% to 5% of messages are lost entirely, even during normal operation conditions,[46] and others may not be delivered until long after their relevance has passed.[47] The use of SMS as an emergency notification service in particular has been starkly criticized.[48]

Interesting read
When I was in USA on my previous network (The fruit one)I had used my phone for the 3 weeks I was in Florida.
On landing back at Manchester and switching my phone back on I got the Welcome to the USA text lol.
I never knew Manchester airport had moved to the USA over night lol

Also, good in you for customizing your signature for such a poignant date.
It means a lot to me, I never saw my dad until I was three, but at least he came back when so many didn't.
