iMessage delivery times

godtabh

How do people find iMessage delivery times? Some times its straight away but lately I've found it can take an age. Is it a netwotk problem? Or is it an apple server problem?

Do you have it set up to send as text message if the other person doesn't have a data connection?

Not sure. It shouldnt be an issue as its to my wife who is at home with a least wifi available.

Wifi is turned off when the phone is locked

I don't think it immediately turns off and if the phone is plugged in it will remain on for iCloud Sync-ing etc if Wifi is available.

I find the biggest slow up is PAYG customers who don't have data enabled on the iPhone. You get the iMessage 'blue' but when it sends it doesn't deliver (Obviously) and the iPhone eventually sends as a text. Can be very annoying. However from my Mac to iPhone its normally instant.

I'm with Meteor Bill Pay. Any slow down would be a network issue in my eyes not Apple servers.

both phones are bill pay with unlimted data plans. Signal is usally very good in the hosue

Always instant delivery for me.

It's been very unreliable for me lately - message delivery has been delayed or fallen back to SMS quite a bit.

I dont think this is only iMessage related, but does anybody get the beep beep for a new SMS and when you go into the messege and theres nothing for maybe 10 seconds, then it pops up in the conversation?

I've always found iMessages very slow to deliver, if they even deliver at all.

Even testing within the same house, both iPhone 4's with full wifi signal and full phone provider signal. Sending a message and it sometimes doesn't deliver at all, and instead sends as text message a few minutes later.

It's very frustrating.

Is it a Mac thing, or your phone provider thing?

I get that aleast once a day. I find if you go back into the main message menu you can see the preview then go into the message and its there

in my case, the imessage keeps trying until the recipient is not online. i was expecting it to send as a text message if the other side is not available.

That's happened me a few times....very odd!

Same here. If I want the message to through straight away I just press and hold the message for a second and it gives the option to send as a text message.

It would happen to me on a daily basis. Not on every messege, but most if i am honest, and its not restricted to iMessege, standard SMS affected too.

Well it had never happened before iOS 6. But it doesn't happen often at all for me thankfully

Never happened on my iPhone 4.
Both myself and the GF, both on iPhone 5, have this issue.

This happens to me at least 6 or 7 times a day, very annoying.
