I understand as of June 27th, the Philippines has been hampered by Typhoons in certain areas. For about the past week my Fiance and Myself have had issues texting each other via yahoo messenger through the cell phones and me using my computer to text her cell phone. I figured there may be issues with communication, because of the typhoons. Anyone else experiencing difficulties? Just curious, Thanks Lyle

The delays also happens alot on the weekends.

And OO it is very annoying when you send a text and you wait and wait and get a response from one that was sent 2 hours ago!! LOL

If we suspect a problem, then we start sending the time that we sent the message with the text so we can see if there is a delay going on.

It was already happening to us even before the typhoon. There were times I couldn't get my fiance's text and other times, his text messages were late, and vice versa. I guess it's the network.

I agree...sometime we have issue ever when there is no Typhoon anywhere in the area....

the RP network is not the best of the fastest for sure....but it is slowly improving...
