    Does anyone have the same problem, im on O2 network, and the last few weeks I havent been receiving my texts when they are sent. It could be days, nearly a week and then I will receive 4 or 5 at once! Is it my fone or sim card thats the problem. Also I do receive some texts straight away when they are sent to me.

    I'm with Meteor and I've been having the same problem over the past few weeks.
    I thought it was my sim card, so I got a new one. This didnt fix it.
    As my phone was 3 years old I though this might've been the problem, so I bought a new one over the weekend. So far it seems okay.
    However, talking to friends over the weekend, it seems 2 of my friends with meteor are having the same problem, and so is a friend on 02.

    ...strange!

    Maybe its a joint effort by meteor and 02 to encourage people to buy new phones!!!??? :eek:

    haha

    Been happening to me for the past few weeks too. I'm on o2 billpay aswell.

    I've a Nokia 3200. I decided to update the firmware from 5.0 to 7.2 through the nokia website. About an hour later I received 38 text messages at once!!!! All the txts were ones I'd missed from the past few weeks. Very strange.

    How did you do that? I have a Nokia 6300, would it work for me?

    I've not really experienced this myself in any major way. O2 billpay and Vodafone prepay.

    Sorry, Ive actually got the 6300 too. I just went to the Nokia website then downloaded the 'nokia software updater' Then updated the firmware to the latest via a usb cable.

    It's been fine since.
