I was wondering why I wasn't receiving my twitter updates for at least 2 hours so I phoned *333 to double check my balance in case something was awry.
As soon as the call connected, over 20 TXTs were received simultaneously while I was on the call.
What's going on and can I do anything about it? I am using an iPhone 3G on XT if that makes any difference.

There is no SLA on SMS delivery time from any carrier best effort

If this happens again please log a fault with 123. This is not expected behaviour.

Thanks NealR - should I report today's experience or just the next time?

Also, is 123 free from a Telecom mobile or just *123 (if there is any difference).

Suggest you report today's issue. It's important that these sorts of things are reported so we can identify trends. You definitely had a fault.

Yes *123 or 123 are free from your mobile.

Thanks Neal. To help others I've logged this with the fault desk.

I was told that the most likely scenario was that I somehow lost connection with the network and when it reconnected (with the *333 phone call) that the TXTs were then delivered. But I didn't move my spot during the 2 hours and had at least 4-5 out of 5 bars of signal.

Probably keeps happening. Very annoying.

On the phone reporting fault again. I didn't get a case number last night. Not sure if I should get one.
