    I have had mine changed to send all and the messaging still takes forever. Over one hour most of the day. Sometimes takes days.

    I contacted Nextel about this and they advised that when folks off network, such as someone with a Verizon phone text messages you, they must send the text to more than just your phone number..specifically as this format provides: (XXX) [email protected]. When they send it this way, you'll find you get it almost immediately, which is the way it should work.

    Very good point Markchip7! The whole point of texting is to be fairly instantaneous...

    Texting should be instantaneous. A glitch is probably creating the issue. If sending a text message via [email protected] works instantaneously, have those texting you send a sms message to your email address in that format ([email protected] w/o the dashes in between you phone #) via their phone and you shouldn't have a problem.

    I did this with someone who has Nextel, and when you do it (in email type format); they do get it instantly. Rather than just going into your contacts list and choosing Send Message (or whatever) and just sending it to that phone number.
