Help Delay in Receiving MMS

[aml1025]

This may actually be more of a Virgin Mobile issue, since I've had it happen with other phones, but since I'm using an EVO V (unrooted), I'm posting here.

Sometimes I receive MMS texts up to 12 hours or so after they are sent. When I get them, they are time stamped with (I assume) the time they were sent, and they show up in time order in my texts, rather than at the top as a brand-new text would.

I've gone through power cycles, airplane mode, and CLEAR resets, but I doubt it has anything to do with my specific phone. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or does anyone know what causes it? It especially bugs me because I don't realize I've missed something until it pops up all those hours later.

Thanks for any ideas!

I have had that problem occasionally also on both the old OpV and the EVO. I think it may be a VM problem.

In my case, though, it could be because I have a Minneapolis area code, and live in SoCal.

I have noticed similar problems that seem to be related to what phone the sender is using. Most of my problems are with MMS from friends with iPhones.

Forgot to mention, I have the OPV but have purchased an EVO V and will activate it when the bill is due so I won't lose my minutes, etc. So it is probably not a phone issue.

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was more of a Virgin Mobile problem than anything else... but it doesn't hurt to rule things out.

Interesting that I mostly seem to have problems with iPhone messages as well. I know that iPhone messages don't like to play well with others, so I guess It's not a shock. The other person whose messages get delayed is usually sending to a large amount of people at once. I wonder if that's causing a problem?

I have no desire to go through Virgin Mobile's troubleshooting and end up being told to factory reset for something that's a network problem. It'd be nice if they would at least acknowledge some of these problems for what they are
