My texts seem to be very delayed. I will sometimes receive a few at a time, like in the screenshot attached. This is making it impossible for me to get into my Facebook account because I have 2fa turned on and can’t receive the code to authorise it’s me in good time.

Hey there @Wardben95, welcome to Community!

 

How long has this been an issue for please?

 

Is it only for OTP texts, or all texts?

 

Thanks,

Tyler


It happened today re messages from 3 different people, one person told me they sent the message last night, 20 hours before it arrived!! Why?

Hi ​@diane gregory 1015 

 

Okay, taking a look there are some patchy spots in the area of NE7 7LE, general signal could be patchy.

 

It’ll be worth switching to 4G manually whilst in the area as 5G looks like it could be fairly weak.

It still happens whether on 4G or 5G

Surely ID mobile can help me to rectify this? Is there anything in settings to change?

Hey ​@diane gregory 1015, when did this issue start happening?

 

Do you have any other coverage issues, or only with receiving texts later than you should?

 

Have you tried resetting network settings?

 

If not, what phone do you have and we can explain how to?

 

Thanks,

Tyler


Hello Tyler

thank you for getting back to me…

I have an iPhone 14. I don’t appear to be having any other coverage issues, just very delayed text messages and it began about 2 months ago! 
where do I find network settings please?

Hi ​@diane gregory 1015 

 

Please see the following;

 

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

 

Resetting network settings will NOT reset any personal data (Photos, Videos, Contacts etc) only network settings.
