Both vodafone and telecom often have delays under peak traffic times. Most notably around holiday periods (new years eve etc.) but has often occured at other times as well.
I can definitely concur with that. I've had SMS' take 4 days to be delivered in the past, and have regularly had messages silently discarded, or transmission fail. Also, if you're in a peak SMS area (e.g. Auckland Domain during the Groupe F fireworks), good luck receiving the SMS due to channel congestion. VF's SMS woes (and in particular with 3G handsets) have been ongoing for atleast 6 months now. The problem is that there is not too much *better* (except for a pager, which has it's own set of problems).
