Test Messaging Finale

[fr4nk1yn]

This has been asked before but mostly ROMs have been blamed.
Sorry But I have to find out once and for all because it's getting frustration.

Can a Custom ROM or a radio flash cause any kind of delay in text and picture messaging?!?

I'm trying out PushEffects and I'm getting delays in the mail greater than polling every 1/2 hour sometimes.
Picture messages routinely take more than 24 hours to be received.
I've been sending test text messages from phones, web and email clients and most are delayed. If they don't come through in a little over 30 minutes they're lost.

I just want to make sure I haven't done something before I start calling Sprint.
This has been happening for awhile to me.

Sorry again & thanks.
