Late arriving messages on iPhone?

So messages would arrive just now but the notification says 1h ago. How do I fix this? It's very annoying

Change your network provider.

You can't fix that if your Messages are Arriving late it could be Due to your Network Connection if you have a Weak Signal or if you are in a Dead Zone and just come out of it that can cause your Messages to Arrive Late

  • Why is my iPhone 5 receiving messages late? So I've recently gotten a T-mobile iPhone 5 & it's been fine the first month but outta no where my messages started to come in late. Sometimes 2-3 hours later. I tried everything from soft and hard reset. Anyone know the problem or how I can fix this? Is it the phone, or service problem?
  • Why is my iPhone 4 receiving text messages late? I have an iPhone 4, I've had it for just a year. The past month or so, sometimes I'll receive a message. However, when I check the time it was received, it was usually 5 or 10 minutes ago, today I just got one from 18 minutes ago and it only just notified me now. It's starting to bug me a lot, can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem? The phone is also running the most current software, I always do updates (even though it steals all of my storage, grrr).
  • Why does my iPhone receive messages late when I'm in a group text? I have the iPhone 4s with 16g (I have less than a gig left of space) and am on T-Mobile. Every single time I'm added to a new group text, my phone delays all messages sent to me. Regardless of whether it's another iPhone or if they're on the same carrier as me, none of my messages get to me until an hour or so later. Is it because I'm low on space? Or is it T-Mobile (probably the worst carrier I've ever had by the way)? Or is it the iPhone software?
