Texts taking a while to be received

[JR1265]

Is anyone else experiencing delays in sending/receiving messages to other carriers (ATT and TMobile)?  I have a work phone with ATT and have tested it out and discovered my Verizon phone sends it and the ATT phone immediately receives the message, but when sending a message from ATT to my phone it takes approximately 15 minutes for the message to come in.  I have friends on ATT and TMobile that have noticed this problem since yesterday afternoon with my phone.  Please tell me if anyone else is having this problem.  I contacted verizon earlier and the girl was helpful but said nobody else has complained of this yet.

Yeah, my friends and I with verizon are having the same issue.

I can receive texts messages no problem but when I send a message to T-Mobile it takes 15 minutes if your lucky, with a max of 30-40 minutes. It started yesterday afternoon. I will send multiple messages and the person may get one.

Same exact thing for me except it's Sprint

I'm in RI and they told me it may have something to do with a network/tower issue in southeastern MA...but this has been going on since yesterday!  So frustrating

Mine just started today, I'm in western New York, and yes it is very frustrating

This same thing is happening to me! It's so annoying I have no idea whether my message will actually send or not. Verizon needs to get on this.
