SMS- Text Messages are delayed up to 3 hours

I've had my Motorola Droid 2 for about 5 days now, and I do absolutely love it...but the fact that almost every text that is sent to me has an extreme delay before it is actually delivered to my phone.

 

Service is not the problem, i can be sitting right next someone else on verizon who has no problems.  The only way i can get texts to come in is by making a phone call or calling my voicemail, other than that Im screwed until they arrive and many times they'll arrive in a group of messages as if they've been blocked up or ive just come back into service or turned my phone on.

 

This is really starting to **bleep** me off and I'd like to see a solution, Ive read of other people having this exact problem but I havent seen any solutions.

Make sure that you have the most updated software on the phone.


 

From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch About Phone
Touch System Updates
Then power the device off, then back on to do a soft reset on the device.  
Then dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.

I bought the droid 1 week ago and i have the same problem.  I tried the reset and the soft reset and i still have the same problem.  I think Im returning the phone.

Try closing the messaging application on the device  then re-opening it.   


Go to Settings.

Manage  Applications.

Choose Running Applications.

Choose the text messaging application, then chose force stop.



Then power the device off and back on.
