Just out of interest why is it that some text messages get there a few mins after you send them and others seem to take much longer and how is it that a very odd once in a while a text message never seems to arrive. I know mobile networks can play up once in a while.

I could be your network has reached capacity on that transmitter, you may also find when trying to make a call it will say network busy, or if someone tries to ring you they will get an engaged tone / voicemail although you are not engaged on a call.

Three times today text has failed to send but then sent after a few trys and signal on 02 in my area is usally 3 or 4 bars out of the 5. I did get network busy one sunday evening a few weeks ago but that was as I was told Vodafone was playing up in some areas and anyone on another network was having probs phoning Vodafone numbers. Prob only lasted a few hours. Once someone tried to phone me and said my 02 phone was off and they go voicemail but my phone had been on. Mobiles can be great but a pain when they start to play up .

I had the same happen to me when I was trying to phone someone on Vodafone, though it didn't just happen from my Mobile, as I had tried from the land line first and it said it hadn't been recognised, tried again the same, thought I'd try my mobile, it said you have dialled an incorrect number, then was busy, was busy from land line too, eventually got through, they hadn't even been on the phone!
