IPhone Problem: Airplane mode and text messaging?

I switch my iPhone to airplane mode at night (so people can't wake me with late night calls etc) and when I go into places where there's no cell coverage (to save battery but still let me use camera and music).
BUT
When I switch it back off airplane mode it takes a Really LONG TIME to reconnect to sms service.
Phone calls and internet work fine straight away, but texts take a really long time to sort themselves out.

Very frustrating, does anyone else have this problem?

Because when youre on an airplane your not supposed to contact anyone calling or texting. It happens all the time.

  • What does the green text bubble mean while text messaging with Iphone? I have an Iphone5c and my friend has an iphone 4. Whenever we talk all my messages are in blue but I sent a text today and it was in green? Should my Wi-Fi be on or no? P.S. I have ios 7
  • What does airplane mode mean and what is its purpose? I have an iPhone 4 and according to an acquaintance of mine, it helps a person's smart-phone charge faster. What else does it do?
  • Problem with text messaging on iPhone? My mother has an iPhone, and today I got my first. However, whenever I send a receive texts, they go to her iPhone as well. This did not happen at all with my last phone, which was an android. Why is this happening? It's irritating, and I need a fix as soon as possible.
  • Problem with iPhone text messaging? Ever since I downloaded the new iOS my text messages all have the current date and time on them instead of the actual date and time they were sent or received. Any idea what is going on or how to fix this?
