I have had this problem frequently in the past and haven't gotten much of a straight answer from Verizon who I use for my carrier. The best explanation I've gotten is that since Verizon and AT&T are two different wireless standards (CDMA vs. GSM) text messages cannot be sent directly from one phone to another without first being translated. I was told that there are large servers somewhere that do the work of translating the text messages and sometimes get backed up, usually depending on the time of day. Sometimes the translating servers get so backed up that they just start to drop certain messages and so they get lost, never to be delivered. I'm unsure of how true this is, but it sounded reasonable enough to me, I heard it from an employee of a Verizon store who said he sees the problem frequently. As far as I'm concerned, it's beyond frustrating and something that needs to be fixed ASAP. It's pretty stupid that I pay for text messaging that I can't really use whenever I need it. If anyone else knows something about this, please let us all know. Thanks!
