Delay in receiving text messages

I received several messages (7) all at the same approximate time from the same sender (time stamp showed 2 @ 3:11, 4 @ 3:12, & 1 @ 3:13) using a Verizon Droid phone. The body of the text messages reflected they had been sent over a 2 hour plus time period but I received them all at once. My phone (Samsung Intensity) was fully charged and "messages" was not full. Is there the possibility there was a couple hour delay in receiving these messages?

This happens to me sometimes as well. I live in an area where I don't have to drive terribly far to get spotty cell coverage, and these type of incidents tend to happen when I'm out in the country for a while, or working in a building with thick concrete walls. It could also just be a hiccup on the tower/Verizon side of the system that has nothing to do with your phone or its signal.

Is this happening consistently, or just this one time?

First time, but sender works in basement business so that may be the reason ... appreciate your reply :smileyhappy:

Same thing happened to me last night. My boyfriend txtd me at 3:20am to make sure I got home safely and I didn't receive any messages until 8am. He was freaking out thinking that I was hurt or angry at him. He also tried to call, but didn't go through and didn't get voicemail until 8m either. Don't know if it is my env3 as when I opened it one time the screen saver was moving so slow. I am a new customer since January, hoping this doesn't continue to happen. I am really angry at Verizon right now because of this. I get a good signal everywhere I go, except his house was at 1 bar, but went back to a bigger city with a tower, so no excuse because I went to a stronger signal area!!

Anytime you are in a building, rural area, or surrounded by a lot of installation, the signal on the phone could become weaker. This can cause a delay in messages and cause your calls to be routed to your voicemail. It is highly recommended that you dial *228 send and option 2 at least every 30 days to update your phone to the nearest towers.
