Delayed Voicemails

BornToShop — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 16:19:50 GMT

I have been with Sprint for 18 years & have been very satisfied with their service. I have always had android phones; my most recent the Samsung Galaxy S8+. I have exhausted Google, I am finding it is either the carrier, the phone or the Google app. Some of my voicemails have been delayed up to a day. Anyone on this forum have resolutions to this? Even iPhones can be affected. No definitive answer so far that I could find & it is frustrating.

I have Verizon and mine have been delayed lately. No matter how many times I try to avoid their UPDATES they do it between 2 and 4 in the morning! I've even turned off my phone to avoid it but it still happens.

It slows the phone done and also that's how they get information. They're in my business too much as it is.

The TV does that too. Again in the middle of the night. They call it updating....can't win.

Ever wonder how THEY know which show is popular and so on?

My DH tells me that when the towers get full - too many users - the things get pushed back and are sent when there is room , like in the middle of the night. I have no idea what his source of this information is - but he keeps telling me this.

We have US cellular and there are times when our voice mails are delayed up to 3 days.

I have AT&T and have never had a delay in my voice mails as far as I know.

@BornToShop @151949

Yes! Oh my! The carriers, at least ours, “save” stuff and choose when to send it. Voicemails seem to be very delayed. (iPhone—Verizon) emails are held until I trip the system (push notifications?)

Our high school is very nearby. DH asked the direct tv tech who replaced our modem if the 3,000 kids getting out at lunch could be the problem for delays/internet shutdown...raised eyebrows... never heard of that!

@151949 Please thank your DH for me...I just needed to know for sure!

The NSA is probably reviewing the messages and texts so it slows them down.

I'm also with Sprint, but haven't had this happen. I've been with Sprint ever since they acquired Nextel many, many years ago.

Conversely, my husband has his cell service through ATT and he has always had problems with getting delayed messages. He would have calls from Thurs or Fri and the voicemails would often not arrive to his phone until the following Mon or Tues.

I guess it could be so many things, but Sprint has never been problematic for me in that regard. That said, however, I don't get that many messages. I've had the same cell phone # since 1994 but I don't give out my number to very many people and to no companies.

I hope it gets resolved!

My brother has a Tracfone and uses Sprint....I was watching their dog last weekend and I texted im that she didn't eat any of her food...should I be concerned. I never heard back....so I figured he wasn't worried.

Turns out he got the message Sunday night on his way back!

Sophe ate her food the next morning, so it all worked out ...

Carrier is T-Moble. Past week some are delayed (1 day) and/or resent.
