I hardly ever text anybody so don't know a whole hell of a lot about the way it works.
Has anybody who is familiar with it ever come across this sort of thing before?
Recently I drove 100 miles one way to look at a car with a friend & his elderly mother for whom the car was intended. We had an appointment for 7.30 p.m.
We arrived at the venue at 7.35 p.m. to find nobody there & a note on the door saying "Sorry, closed today due to illness."
At 7.50 p.m. while standing outside the place I received a text message cancelling the appointment. The text message had been sent at 8.30 that morning, 11 hours before I received it.
I'm furious with the bloke for not calling me & sending us on a fool's errand. His attitude is 'I sent a text, if you didn't get it that's tough & not my fault. Take it up with your mobile co.'
Is it normal for these things to get lost or delayed occasionally / regularly or was I just unlucky?
