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.

Network congestion?

A very odd once in a while it can come up message failed to send and can take you 1 or 2 trys before the text is sent why is that.

Can be poor reception area.

That has happened to me a few times but my area isn't poor for reception.

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 tried phoning my brother the other day and it said 'you have dialled an incorrect number...' but it was the one in my phonebook then i tried again then it had the busy tone then again and it worked!

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!

But i was trying to phone an O2 phone so it must be with O2 as well!

Anyone been getting message faild to seen the day on the 02 then after 2 or 3 trys it seems to send. its happened 3 times to me the day then just a short time ago it happend again and tane the price of 2 textes of me instead of one on my pay and go.

Darren

My texts on o2 have been taking a few tries to send

Text on 02 do seem to have been playing up a litle the last day or so when trying to send a text its no always been letting you send it the first time whitch can be a pain at times.
