sorry about that. i mis dialed.

22

You need to trim your nipple hair, it’s kinda long.

23

sorry guys, i tried out one of the new iphones for VZW and it took down a couple servers due to it being only the best phone ever produced, ever, in the history of the universe.

little known fact, there is a 3rd party company that handles the switching of texts back and forth from one company to the next. I would assume they had a hiccup, not one of the major carriers.

24

Hmm I better stick with the unlocked AT&T one that you activated on VZW for me then for now…

26

this really sucked super bad lol

+1

28

as “plugged in” as i am, i find it laughable some of you are taking a 1 day time delay issue as the end of the world. lols. it didnt even effect calls or data…

29

i got SLAMMED @ 1:33 am with texts too, got duplicates from some VZW resent for some odd reason. I was rather out of it and confused to say the least.

30

yeah i got bombarded with texts around 1/2am also lol…

31

I had the same exact problem

32

agree.

33

What good is a bootcall text message when the girl doesn’t get it till I am sober?

34

when my phone went off with 17 text messages and I was sound asleep @ 1am… it was a tad disorienting to say the least trying to figure out what was happening.

35

I’m on Verizon, I was having trouble with both Sprint and AT&T on 10/7 also.

36

Sprint had the same issue.

37

so i thought it might be interesting to read up on the interoperability of sms between carriers, and now my brain is fried from all the acronyms.

but, interestingly enough, verisign handles some 60% of the US inter-carrier market.

seeing as the main 3 carriers in the US were all having issues talking to each other, i’d bet that it wasnt one of the SMS-c’s at the carrier level the hiccuped, it was a company like verisign that handles the traffic.

edit: anyone wishing to have their brain ooze out their ears, here are a few main links I used for info.

widerthan was bough by real networks back in '06 for media delivery to mobile handsets, primarily music, but it’s mentioned that they handle sms traffic as well.
