One other thing to keep in mind is that if the sender has a different cellular provider than the receiver, there can be a longer delay in receipt of the message.

You should also recognize that voice mail and texting are not 100% sure to be 'instantaneous".
I've timed some messages that were left on a voice mail, where it was over 20 minutes before their phone showed a "message waiting" indicator.
And once, someone left VMs and Txts on my phone, starting on a Friday evening. My phone was on, and I made outgoing calls that weekend so it was working but I had no clue that those VMs/Txts were waiting. They finally got me on a land-line Monday late morning.
To check the phone, I turned it Off & On, and immediately was shown 12 VMs and 23 texts from them, all with EXACTLY the same date-time stamp (seconds after I re-powered the phone).
I took a photo of the Txt Log to prove something was wrong, as that was the only way they'd believe me!
(Since writing and sending a VM or a Txt takes a minimum of a few seconds, having multiple messages with the exact same time-stamp, to the second, is proof that there was a glitch somewhere).
I have had texts and voice mails from my Mother show up 3 days after she sent the original message.
Someone help me!! Someone with a Verizon phone blocked my text messages. So how is it possible for them to text me? Thanks
With the right phone application, they can block your incoming texts and still allow them to send texts to you. With some applications, they can mask their own mobile # and replace it with a different phone #. Why are you so concerned ??

Yep ...
The smarter the whole thing gets, the more stupid the phone part gets ...
