Delay in receiving text

My husband and I are both with ID, we are both having issues receiving texts. Some come through fine others don’t come through for days! Causing a lot of stress and confusion with elderly parents. Is there a Network issue? We’re in the PO8 postcode region.

I’m new to ID and definitely regret leaving my previous provider!

    Unfortunately ​@VW1977, sometimes after switching networks, it can take some senders a while to recognise optimum network routing for SMS text messages to your mobile number. 

    In addition, the GSM standards for SMS text messaging do not guarantee message delivery.

    Hey there ​@VW1977, we’re sorry to hear that.

     

    When you go into phone settings, does your phone number show correctly?

     

    Have you tried restarting your phone, and also resetting network settings?

     

    Thanks,

    Tyler
