I sent an SMS to my daughter (BTCellnet and teaching in Egypt) and that went missing for over 24hrs. She got it just after she sent me one.....might have been either my Vodaphone SMS server or the BT one. Bit annoying because what I said was "Are you online?" as I was hoping to chat to her on Yahoo Messenger.....as I didn't get confirmation that it was delivered I had rung her and had a chat that morning!!!!
