Ahh, nostalgia. I use NTT Docomo, and as with Vodafone quite a few messages don't turn up for a few hours (16 in one case). Usually I'll get a message from she-who-owns-the-remote either instantaneously, or, when it gets stuck in the Commodore 64 queue, it arrives together with a cc copy of an email from one my staff - as though the email bumped it along. -- I am not who I think I am I am not who you think I am I am who I think you think I am ...or some such shite.
