When I send a text and the recipient has their phone switched off it is sometimes taking several hours after their phone is switched back on for the message to arrive
Solved
Delay in recipient receiving text messages
Best answer by Tyler C
Hey there
I would advise that the person who has their phone switched off contacts their network supplier or phone manufacturer, as likely an issue with their device etc, not yours.
Thanks,
Tyler
