[cheekyminx28]

i'm having a few problems wiv my network which is on o2, the problems started new years days an have carried on since, i can send and recieve text messages but it can take anything frm 3 hrs to 6 hrs to recieve an same for who i text, my fone will state the the message has been sent,
can anyone help or is anybody having the same problem, o2 cs have told me to restart my fone which i have done an i have also done a soft reset on it aswell

My phone is fine as far as I know, just had few problems at New Year as always happens anyway.

Have you tried restarting your phone (switching it off and back on)

Phones operate pretty much the same way as computers these days and so can suffer resource exhaustion if not restarted sometimes.

This will exhibit itself as sluggish operation in the User Interface or taking a long time to do things such as send a text or process a received one.

When you go to charge your phone might be a good time to restart it if you must leave it one while it charges (I tend to charge mine at night and switch it off so that the incoming current is focussed on the battery rather than having to power the phone's radio hardware, etc)

I use O2 too by the way and had no such problems (am using a Sony Ericsson K800i)

ive tried everything i can think of doin wiv it, ive restarted, soft reset, hard reset it an done a manual network search 2 no avail,ive even removed my memory card thinkin it cud be that but prob still there, short of throwin it at wall ive done everything, my sister who is on o2 hasnt had a prob but she is still usin a gsm sim on paygo but my mate that is usin a usim on contract is havin the same probs as me, i'm using a nokia n73 on contract an she is usin a motorola, it may just be the new year bug

No, your memory card will not affect sms.

Give o2 a call and ask them to refresh your VMMS mailbox.

Unfortunately, the fact that your sms are getting through eventually means that the fault is difficult to diagnose....if they stopped altogether it would be easier to find where the problem lies.

Could it be a weak 3G signal?

[cheekyminx28]

hi there, i will give o2 a ring an ask them 2 refresh my VMMS mailbox see if that helps, i have a strong 3g signal in my area,
thanks everybody for all ur help

i'm in central england, i noticed poorer signal since new years also.

i'm also central england aswell, must be something wrong with network that o2 just dont want to admit, sent fone to o2 as instructed to do by one of their workin tellin me software needed updating as that was the problem an hey guess wot its still the same just not as bad,
