Text messages are randomly delayed by up to a day
I've been seeing this off and on for months in group texts mostly, but also in direct texts as well. The problem is that text messages are often delayed by up to 24 hours and then dumped all at o...
I thought that my randomly delayed message issue was related specifically to the email-to-text service (because those are just about the only SMS messages I ever get - and I get a few dozen a day), but you guys are describing pretty close to the behavior I've been seeing since late April, even before I swapped my Sprint SIM card for the T-Mobile SIM card on May 31st.
in my case, it appears that only individual messages are delayed. For example, say 1 SMS was too long and was broken up into 4 parts: the first part could be delayed over 24 hours and the other 3 I get nearly immediately! And when I receive the delayed messages, I get them 1 at a time, not in a dump.
Then, Tuesday almost 2 weeks ago, all of my SMS messages originating from email-to-sms completely stopped and the emails started bouncing back with the error "sender rejected". It can from a spam filter server: Cloudfilter.net. I googled them. They're a spam filter service that contract with large companies to filter spam for the client company's customers.
I'd be willing to bet they're the source of the issue. I'd also be curious to know if those of you who are affected experience this problem because you receive a lot of frequent messages (which is perhaps a factor in spam determination).
