If you are using the built in text messaging service on MSN, you should e-mail customer support, they'll have the best chance of helping you.

EDIT: Maybe this thread would be better in the MSN/Windows Messenger forum

Text messages are send thru SMS servers (text messaging servers). These are independant of the MSN servers and have actually nothing todo with MSN (it is only in the last step in the chain that the SMS servers send the messages to the MSN servers).

Those SMS servers are from your (or rather your contact's) local phone provider (hence the text-messaging service in MSN Messenger isn't available for everyone).

Such SMS servers are known to experience lag when there is much traffic on them (eg: with new years eve this is most apparent) or when they are under maintenance... It could also be possible that text messaging thru the MSN Messenger servers has a lower priority than normal 'phone-to-phone' text messages and thus are put later in the queue.
