How come multi media messages take so long to get to the person your sending them to? I sent one to a friend the other day it was two pagers long and he didn’t receive it until twenty-four hours later! We had a falling out, and I had plenty to say but had made up buy the time he received it. I’m on O2 he’s T – Mobile. I have also had this problem with txt messages taking a few hours.

It's a pain - I sent one to my wife on monday afternoon, she got it at 9:30 yesterday

networks like o2 who offer free texts, get congested because so many messages are flying around, as for mms, i think its very silly

With Orange... I normally get a delivery confirmation a couple of minutes after I send the message (assuming recipient's phone is on and allowing time for download of the message on the recipient's phone). Although I only send MMS's to people on Orange.

Although someone once sent me an MMS from a Vodafone and it took 4 whole days to reach me... pathetic

Text messages are normally pretty quick to deliver provided the recipients phone is switched on.

As for MMS messages - they appear to be a totally unkown quantity, they can deliver in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, and the networks don't seem too bothered!
