Sign up with GoogleI have a friend in india and it seems everytime she smses me i only get the sms a few hours later..for example last night she sent a message at midnight and i only received it at about 9 this morning. I get all other messages on time..also messages that i send TO overseas places get delivered almost immediately. Is this a problem on vodacoms side or with indias mobile operator?

Late SMS's
I believe it is Vodacom's problem.
I use a forwarding facility on my e-mails to voda.co.za.
Last weekend I received a e-mail during Sunday morning. The sms only came through during Monday afternoon. SMS for E-mails recieved on Monday morning was received after 5 on Monday afternoon.
Something is wrong with Vodacom.

If I may say somthing here.. we always seems to point fingers at our networks.. and I cant say I blame people....(hehehe most times they deserve it) however, anything to do with international traffic via GSM or cellualr depends mostly entirely on the other network/networks/PSTN/PLMNs...and or SP's (intermediaries)
From the info avaible on the internet it seems India has a bit of a coverage problem as there is no standard Network that covers the entire country , each network covers segments of cities.. also a lot depends on the network infrastructure and their technological standards compared to South Africa's.
Some network even make business decision to to send or recieve international sms's and some even charge you for recieving international sms's while on their network.
So for late international sms's, call the network here Vodacom as ask to see when they recieved the sms. Log a call, and make them work for their money
PS you must get a reference number from them... Get a full name as well..
