Well i really do like alot of things about orange (mobile network provider not brodband) they do have some good packages for your money. Well one problem i've been having is about 30% of the texts i send takes about 10 hours to go through and at worst +- 4 days. So i used another phone and made sure i was not using the radiomast that i am closest to and sometimes this still happens.

Now it's not all the time but it used to be instant and sometimes it can get worse and worse untill a point in time. So is anyone else experiencing this that is using orange UK?

Thanks for help in advance

Also added poll just to see the most used

You are obsessed by phones, it worries me, I remember all the old threads about phones and flashing and what not

Having problems? Enable text confirmation to tell you when a text has been received, gather the stats then phone your provider, ask what is going on, 10 hours for a text etc, no text is left idle for more than 24hours anyway, otherwise it is canceled and returned.

It may be a dodgy transmitter/receiver your phone is connected to try resetting it etc.

No i know exactly what you mean! I have the same problem, when I send a message to my GF and she doesn't recieve it for 4-5 hours she thinks im ignoring her and stuff so yeah it pisses the fuck out of me, at least i know its no my phone

im on virgin and it happens with other people but never on virgin, only on some phones on particular networks including orange and 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
