There appears to be a network store and forward message transmission delay occurring frequently with text messages. Several of my contacts I frequently text with will send me text messages that will not hit my inbox for many hours up to days later. It’s like they’re caught in some buffer that stores them and sends them all at once as several blocks appear in a second, time date stamped several hours to days earlier. My physical location doesn't change so I doubt the problem is on my end however my phone is of the type you cant take the battery out of so who knows what’s running on it. This issue never happened with my services before T-Mobile to where I have ever noticed it like I do now.
what device? How often do you restart your device? are you using Android Messages?
IF you are using Android messages on the S22 line then that’s the problem
Google is pointing RCS to T-Mobile servers instead of their own. There are some interloping issues and it has honestly nothing to do with T-Mobile.
To fix the issue you will have to check from time to time. If RCS isn’t connected you will have to turn the sim off then back on and it’ll fix the issue for a few days to a few weeks. Each Android Message update has worked better than the previous but people still have the issue creep up.
I’m using an iPhone 13 mini and am having the same problem. I can have four total bars, a perfect signal, have my phone completely charged and up to date and have an issue receiving texts.
are they only specific people that you are having this issue with? or is it random on whos will be delayed? and are they regular texts (sms) or pic mail/ group texts/long winded texts (mms)?
I have an s24 ultra and sometimes even if I have 4 or 5 bars, my incoming text messages are delayed, no idea why!
My service has just been lacking or nonexistent for about a year now. I'll reset my wifi and phone and call TMobile to troubleshoot and get no help. The claim on the commercials from other service providers is that TMobile customers are being deemed as unimportant and so the service just cuts out. It's called 'deprioritized'. I also heard something about when they came out with '5G bst service with the largest coverage' claim which is a flatout lie they didnt inform customers with older model phones that they just wouldnt really work anymore.
I recommend switching service providers, ATT told me they'll buy me out of my current contract with TMobile :)
