Isn't unusual? Are you kidding? It's pretty unusual here in the US.
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!

Steve

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
