I am so hacked off right now.
To cut a long story short I have been recieving texts from people late.
What I mean is that a text can be sent to me at say 12:00, and I wont get it until about 13:00. Its usually an hour later on average. I have had texts come through up to 3 hours late!!
I have spoken to Orange about the issue twice, the first time I was given some crazy ritual to do that involved deleting all my texts, being sent a new text containing some new settings from Orange then restarting my phone.
This didn't work, so I called them again about a month later. I managed to speak to 'one of my own' (a geordie) who said that I didn't need to delete my texts, but I did need to remove my battery after receiving the 'update' text from Orange. So I did that.
Now its hard to tell if these 'fixes' are working as the problem is really intermittent. I can go days without any problems, then without warning, and usually in the middle of a text conversation, I wont get a text for a while. If I restart the phone, the text normally comes through then.
This has always been nothing more than an annoyance up till tonight.
I have been trying to make up with my ex. We haven't really spoken since the summer (we broke up at Christmas). I texted her last Sunday and we had a little chat, but it ended fairly flatly. Until tonight, when I get a text from her out of the blue. This is AMAZING news (to me at least), except the *@$&^*# text came through an HOUR late!!! By the time I replied, she had obviously fallen asleep and now I've missed out on a great chance to make up some lost ground.
Its a good job its night time otherwise I'd be doing myself no favours ****** and blinding at some poor sod at the call centre.
I've never felt the need to rant on here before. It actually felt quite good.
Is anyone else having text issues with Orange?
