SMS Delays/Being Lost?
Hello:
I work for an Electronic Message Broadcasting Company and use mobile networks as third parties to deliver SMS's. This morning a large number of our customers have complained that many SMS have not been delivered or have taken upto an hour to deliver. I have called the networks to see what information they can provide and all of them are being very cagy. Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything today? Thanks |

O2 seemed to be having some issues. I sent an MMS which contains just a pic and some text, this has taken a day to arrive. The majority of my texts sent on new years eve are still pending.
Rubbish. |

Turning phone off and back on should help filter the backlog of SMS through to people who struggled to get them yesterday.
The huge amount of SMS's sent in such a short space of time will cause all networks issues. It is rare for SMS to be lost however long delays can be found if phones are not restarted. |

I got the text message they are referring to Fri 29th Dec @ 11.15.
It wasn't sent to every customer however the sending of these text messages is always from a marketing aspect so its there to increase SMS usuage rather than reduce it! More sms = more revenue. |

Perhaps O2 have given up with me as a lost cause because I didn't receive such a message either.
Or perhaps as it was deemed a marketing message, O2 are complying with my instructions to them that I do not wish to receive such messages
