Can anyone explain why my son has started receiving my text messages hours later instead of instantly ?

We are both O2 customers and both have iPhones.

Maybe network congestion or a build up of static on the sim card.
Try removing the sim and wiping it with a dry cloth and see if it improves at all.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Are they going as iMessages over data or as text messages over the normal voice network ?

Sounds like a network issue. If it continues you should phone o2.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your advice - I am talking about normal text messages.

Two Questions:-

1. Does this problem only occur with your son, or is it with other people as well?

2. Do messages from him to you also take a long time or is it just from you to him?
