Extremely Delayed Text Messages...

This has been going on for quite a while now, and it's {word filter avoidance} to no end. I can send text messages fine, and they get to the person I intended just fine, in a timely manner. However, when the person sends me a message, I don't get it for a few hours, usually. Sometimes it's up to 9 hours later, sometimes it's simply a few, but it's really killing me. I've sent myself a message, and it didn't bounce back for a few hours as well. What the hell is this, and why isn't Verizon doing something about it? I know that there have been complaints about it before. If this continues I am going to end my plan.

Try calling CS 800-922-0204 and they can run a check on your line - call from a landline or a phone other than the line you are having problems with.

I remember that person saying they called customer care in another post. Customer care couldn't figure out the problem. maybe technical support is better to call?

You can always get customer support to transfer you to technical support :smileyhappy:
