Vodacom SMS delays

[Syndyre]

Noticed the past few days my sms's have been delayed often by hours and the ones I receive also seem to be delayed, sometimes only coming through the next day. A lot of these messages are Vodacom to Vodacom so it can't be a problem on one of the other networks. Anybody else had any problems?

Not that I have noted - what area(s) are you in ? Maybe it was cable dmg, since SMS uses GPRS.

Laterz !

Correct, we don't do SMS over GPRS.

So I'm not the only one, what's the problem then? People don't appreciate it when messages you send at 10 arrive at 3AM!
