Help delay in text messages

[nate725]

Question.

So I was texting back and forth with someone frequently throughout the day. One particular message I received was at 10pm but that message was supposedly originally sent at 9pm. However, we each sent about 20 messages to one another during that 1 hour span from 9pm to 10pm and I was getting all of those messages just fine, and so were they.

Is it possible for this to happen, or is it more likely that the person is lying and the message was actually sent at 10pm and they only claimed it was sent at 9pm and the whole delay in me receiving it was made up?

Btw my provider is Verizon

Yup, it does happen.
It goes off into a queue to be sent out, and then fluff happens..... eventually that queue gets flushed and "uh oh" got one w/o a "sent" marker on it, and out it goes.

it is a server hiccup, not your phone(s)....
don't waste any time worrying about it, nothing we can do about it anyway.
