@madeline50 No one here knows who texted you. And text message can always be delivered late there is no guarantee it’ll arrive just after it’s been sent.

Wasn’t from anyone here

just needed the text when it was sent never knew it could take hours never happened before

@madeline50 A drop call could be from either device on that call not necessarily your device that dropped the call. What’s the signal like on your device when this happens? Have you ever tried a factory reset on the device?

factory reset done ages ago but doesn’t that loss all my photos and settings ?

Hi @madeline50,

If you back your phone up to the cloud before resetting, you can restore all of your content afterwards.

Please let me know what type of phone you have if you need help with this.

It's also worth checking you have WiFi Calling activated on your phone to help boost your indoor coverage.

Hi @madeline50,

To make sure your phone is being backed up, go to Settings > System > Backup.

Before resetting your phone or buying a new one, I'd recommend searching for WiFi Calling in your settings and making sure it is turned on.

You wouldn't need a new SIM if your purchased a new phone.
