Using a lot of text messages, I find that 5-10 of my messages (incomming and outgoing) are delayed or most likley lost per week (on average). These are rough numbers and it only counts for the messages I know about becuase the person on the other end says something to me. While some of these delays are extensive, they are not out of the ordinary. However, that is no excuse for service providers. - Chris On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 11:13 AM, Steve Ryan <auser@mind.net> wrote:

I wouldn't recommend using e-mail to SMS for anything critical but for years, at least in my experience, it's been zippy enough.
12+ hours in some cases for e-mail to SMS though? Come on, that makes it totally unusable. You Europeans should demand better service!

Called customer service number and got a story about a Media.Net outage in southeast.
Message Service Center +14047259015 if that matters.
Also replying to SMS received emails from your phone that were already there yields an error message, sorry I do not have that saved.
Never get emails sent from gmail never arrive. I assume they suffer a similar fate?

That sort of delay for SMS text messages isn't unusual - bit like email there's no guarantee of timely delivery with SMS. In Europe delays of this nature aren't uncommon
