O2 and especially Orange can be very slow at sending / receiving texts.

Network topology and software is designed by humans and therefore suffers from the same information loss and error that humans display at times.

Certain networks suffer more than others, although its my experience that a key offender in this area is O2.

Unfortunately, until the machines take over, we must tolerate these occasional data losses. In years to come, the old gsm networks will become obselete and these little quirks will be referred to with affection.
