Wow...That's bad.

What has Sprint said about it?

Honestly, I'm not even going to bother calling them. This is the same problem I had with them when I left them a year ago. I spent countless hours on the phone with tech support and swapping out phones to no avail. Every once in a while I get a feeling that maybe things have gotten better, and that $99 package looks so sweet, so I thought I'd try them out again. But I gotta have perfect text messaging or it just won't work out.

lol yeah totally. Not only that, the temporary # they assigned me is a bill collector magnet. Apparently the person who had this # before me has a lot of outstanding college loans haha. Anyway I didn't mean to hijack your guys thread, but I just thought I'd share my experience. The time stamps aren't always very reliable in my experience. They shouldn't be hours off though unless it really took that long to deliver it.

Messages are delivered instantly to me, but sometimes the hours are way off as mentioned earlier. Very weird indeed...
