Problems with texting

Hey guys!

Well, it looks like i've been having some problems with texting lately. Sometimes it takes FOREVER to send/recieve a message, other times they wont go through at all.

Is this a service thing, or is it my actual phone?

I have verizon, by the way.

Thanks a bunch!

 

I'd say it's a service problem if you don't have 4g or 3g.

 

Have you tried the app called Tapatalk? Or are you talking about true text messages? Tapatalk is for forums... I think i misunderstood ... "never mind."

 

Really, 3g or 4g should not play into how fast your texts are sent/received. It's such a small amount of data, sent over a different protocol. The only thing that could really affect it is interference, or lack of service coverage. You might try calling your provider and asking if they have had any problems in your area, and let them know you have been experiencing issues. Let us know anything new!

 

That would happen to my phone only after ive had it a really long time. Like 2 years or so.

 

I've had that issue

My phone often neglects to retrieve text messages if I haven't restarted it in a while.

In other words...

 

Could be your phone, problems with relays from the satellite, solar static etc....just calm down, your text are moving at the speed of light so you can probably handle the delay

 

I have had that problem sporadicly. I think it the system.

 

I get on HF using my desktop and it does that to me. When I see the page not loading fast enough, I hit the refresh button and it finishes the task quicker.
