Why does my Samsung S7Edge delay in receiving text messages?

Lately my S7 Edge has a serious delay in receiving texts.  When I turn my phone on after work during the day, my text messages aren't received for several minutes, sometimes over 30 minutes.  I'm using the default Samsung messaging app.  Any ideas?

funkyd71, I depend on my text messages as my main communication these days. How long have you been having these kind of issues? Has there been any changes to the device when this started (new app or software update)? Please keep us posted.

I don't think there's been an update in the last few weeks but will check.  With it being a new phone, I've added a few new apps but not sure the timing of this issue and the app install.

Thanks for getting back to us. Let's get those messages flowing. Does this only happen at work? What kind of signal are you seeing at work? Are others similarly effected?

Seems to have corrected itself?  I power down while at work but when I power back on I have 4-5 bars and the 4g appears.
