Help! Cannot find WHEN a text was sent to me

I cannot find the time and date that any of my text messages were sent to me. The messages show plainly when I received the text (DUH! of course I know when I recieve it). I have sent texts from my other phone to my huawei and waited 5 minutes to power up and view the text and still the time of when the message was sent does not show up, only the time that I viewed it.

Is this a flaw with the huawei or is there something that I am overlooking some how. I really need to know WHEN a text was SENT to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Info on phone:
huawei android version 2.3.6
Model number h866c
 
Have you tried long pressing on the message you need the time stamp for? Cuz by doing that it will bring up a menu of actions you can do. Among them should be the message details option, where if you choose that, it will tell you when it was sent to you.
 
Thanks for your reply,
Yes, I have done that and it does bring up a screen that says:
---------------------------------
MESSAGE DETAILS
Type: Text message
From: (my other phone number)
Received: (time I received text)
------------------------------------
and that is all.
Is there an app or something that I can download to get the time stamp feature that I need?
 
what messaging app are you using? i use go sms and you can long press to get the time stamp.

on mine it shows:

MESSAGE DETAILS
Type: Text message
From:
Received:
Sent:

not sure if that is the app or not.

edit: where is my manors.....welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks for the welcome :)

Here's a pic of the screen (I did remove my other cell number).

I don't know what message app that was installed on the phone when I purchased it. How do I find out?
