Hi all,
My sister-in-law (who's on the O2 network) has an iPhone 8. Most of her friends and acquaintances have iPhones too. I've got an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 running Jellybean - I know, don't laugh!) and I'm on GiffGaff.
Previously she was on an iPhone 5 and we had no problems. Ever since she got the iPhone 8, she and I have had a terrible time sending/receiving text messages between ourselves. If I send her a text, it will show at my end as sent, but she won't receive it or will only get it after a long delay. If she tries to text me, more often than not it shows up at her end as "Undelivered".
Last night (Sunday Jan 16th), at nearly midnight, I was in bed and dropping off to sleep when my phone gave out a text alert. I got up to see who could be needing to contact me so late. It turned out to be a text from my sister-in-law ...one that she sent me on December 29th!
I had wondered whether it was a network-related problem, but the fact is, I don't have this problem with anyone else, regardless of what kind of mobile they've got.
Any thoughts, folks? All suggestions gratefully received.
