LATE VALENTINE’S TEXT MESSAGES JUST NOW RECEIVED

Something strange is happening with text messages in the US. Wednesday night, a large number of people received text messages that appear to have originally been sent on or around Valentine’s Day earlier this year. These people never received the text messages in the first place, and the people who sent the messages had no idea that they had never been received. The delayed messages were sent from and received by both iPhones and Android phones, and the messages seem to have been sent and received across all major carriers in the US. Many of the delayed texts involve T-Mobile or Sprint, although AT&T and Verizon have been mentioned as well. Dozens and dozens of people have posted about receiving messages overnight. Beyond the obvious confusion of receiving a delayed Valentine’s message, some are causing shock: more than a few received a message from their now-ex-partner. One person said they received a message from an ex-boyfriend who had died; another received messages from a best friend who is now dead.
* Dead? These texts were probably supposed to arrive on Halloween.
* Texts from February? It’s still faster than the Post Office.
* Darling I love you / You send me to heaven / Although you won’t get this / ‘Til November 7.
* If you’re planning on texting someone special for Christmas or New Year’s – better do it now.
