No it’s not and most people don’t know how to read the results anyway.

The first thing to do is to check the message centre number is correct. You should be able to get this from your carrier’s website.
If it is then turn the phone off, leave for a few minutes. Turn it on. Wait a few minutes.
Send a fresh message to the one of the people you’ve been having problems with. Do not reply to one of their messages, it MUST be a fresh message (it’s technical but I’ll explain if you want.)
If that shows the error then call or contact your carrier explaining that text messages are taking too long to send and arriving late.
Thank you
SMS messages are sent through a message centre. It might be owned by your carrier or a third party. On Android in Messages if you look in settings under Advanced you’ll see SMSC followed by a phone number. That’s the number of the message centre your phone contacts to send an SMS
That doesn’t sound like SMS delivery receipts. They are slow (that’s one of the reason Google developed RCS)
I think you are actually seeing the message sending animation.
Just tried it on an Android, yes little clock is the phone sending the message it then changes when the message has been sent.
The fact that it’s taking up to a minute to send the message tells me that the fault is at the message centre.
Let me just check I’ve got this right.
Sub links is an enhanced version of Lemmy with some extra features. It works with normal Lemmy Clients. We’ll still be able to access our existing Lemmy communities but if our account is on a sublink instance then we’ll be able to take advantage of the enhancements in sublink communities.
We won’t need to migrate anything across manually, just log out and log in.
It could still be if your or their carrier/network time is wrong.
Also, I’m a little confused when you mentioned the little clock under the message. SMS doesn’t support read receipts. Some carriers support delivery receipts but these don’t work well across different message centres.
It’s just that I’ve had to create new accounts before (because of incompatibility) and recreate subscriptions, loose post history etc. Also because of instances not being maintained.
I just thought discuss.online was different and a more stable place to be. If you do migrate discuss.online will we still be able access and contribute to our subscribed Lemmy communities?
Agreed, not critical just puzzled.
Hang on, you’ll switch discuss.online to this sublinks.org ? What if I don’t want to?
It’s important you do it in the right order.
A fresh message is where you tap the New Conversation action button, enter the contacts name or number and then type the message (rather than open an existing chat)
So: Off, wait, on, wait, fresh message.
