Was there a outage or delay on SMS texts over night to 1:30pm rolleston CHCH

 

as last night

 

I sent a urgent text to mom shes on Vodafone now called One sim too

 

but it didnt arrive until 1.30pm the next day

 

I even sent her more between 11am to 1pm 

 

then they all arrived at 1:30pm ish

 

 

 

I ask sister to send one and it didnt arrive either

 

 

 

however if she or mom  sent one to me it arrive within 1min or 20secs.. very odd

 

 

 

do they use 2 different servers for sending and receiving?

 

 

 

is there a honest status system on website can check?

 

or a option on one account app that I missed?

 

 

 

cheers Paul

2 way old school SMS was introduced in the 90's so yes you are not the only one that has experienced delayed SMS

 

 

 

During the major Christchurch earthquake SMS cross network was delayed for about 12+ hours due to congestion at the point of interconnect (this hardware was upgraded a number of years ago)

 

 

 

So lesson learnt if urgent ' Call '
