O2 getting Royal Mail syndrome?

[pctech]

Looks like the original problem is back, just got a text sent by someone yesterday.

I have the same problem with my Orange phone except it's not hours or days, but sometimes weeks before I receive text or missed call messages. My iPhone messages are instant

[pctech]

Yeah my mate who is on Orange is complaining about that, maybe there are now more mobiles than the systems were designed to deal with.

No point in contacting O2 as they'll tell me there's no issue, so much for contract customers being more important to operators eh.

So much for texts being instant!  That said, I've had no problems whatsoever myself, on O2.

Outbound OK (verified by requesting a delivery report) but inbound is the problem.

No issues here, is there work in your area?  Give O2 a call they will look up to see if there is I call rarely but they are always helpful, also it could be a sim card issue or even a phone one, some Nokia phones have issues with incoming texts (if you are using one). Try turning it off and back on, and deleting all your messages in your inbox first.

Nothing on their site, originally had the issue on my PAYG SIM but my new contract one is in the phone now, O2 to O2 messages seem to be ok, its those from other networks such as Vodafone which suggests an interconnect issue.

Have you sent yourself one just to test. If its an issue because the number was ported it may take time to settle down, mine was ported to orange and I had issues, then back to O2 and all has been ok for years now.

I'll give it a whirl, mine was ported from Virgin (technically T-mobile) in 2006 and all's been ok up to recently.

Should be fine by now, maybe like BT there is work going on in your area and O2 have not got it on the info page 

[Simon]

Unless it's the sender's network. 

[Gary]

Unless it's the sender's network. 

He did say it was Vodafone 

[pctech]

Yes, so all that tax they allegedly dodged did not go on network upgrades then obviously.
