Never had any problem with T-mobile...

You might have trouble complaining about text delay times to be honest, there's nothing in your contract with Orange that says that text have to arrive promptly.

This allows the networks to conserve resources because they can use Packet switching to send text messages instead of Circuit Switching.

As long as they're getting there eventually, there's not much you can do. (Although in my experience, ringing Orange regularly to nag them can work well for fixing issues)

I know but there is saying as soon as network possible. (asked mate who's dad is a call center operator & can speak english)

Yeah I'm with Orange. Had this problem with Sony Ericsson phones a lot. Never happened to me on Samsung phones (still the same sim card btw).

On another note:
There broadband is terrible.

Never happens to me, on Vodafone ;o
and a SE phone..

Im on Telstra I dont live in UK.

Sony Ericson phones dont seem to send the messeges right away.... just some experince ive had as well with them.

I topped up £30 pound last month and got "unlimited" texts (which equals 10,000. Didnt top up this month, so wasn't expected to get any, but checked my text allowance anway.. said I had 12,000 texts and so far, they havent gone

I'm with O2, never had problems with messages taking days, etc

I pay nothing all year for 500mins and 400 texts (or the other way round, i can never remember, i never reach my limit)

well, i pay it out, but i claim it all back

the only downside is that they don't have delivery reports for texts
