Not getting texts after shutting off airplane mode

I got a at&t Galaxy S4 Im using on straight talk. I got the apn settings to use 4G. The phone works awesome but I have noticed any sms or mms messages that get sent to me while on airplane mode I wont receive till about 6 or 7 hours later. Is there any way to get them instantly? I tried restarting the phone and I tried using the factory apn settings that came on the phone.

I had a razr I was using on Page Plus that used Verizon towers and it didn't have this problem I would receive my messages soon as I shut off airplane mode.
Thanks
 
It depends on the towers you're on and Straight Talk's arrangement with that carrier (and how Straight Talk has SMS set to retry). There's no "sync now" for SMS.
