Tons of smartphone owners, no matter if they use Android or iOS devices, got a strange surprise overnight. Reports have trickled in all day on Thursday of long-delayed text messages (from around February, specifically Valentine’s Day, this year) finally arriving. Weirder still, they appear to be messages that were never sent in the first place and are only just now showing up on the phones of their intended recipients.
As if that wasn’t weird enough, the problem seems to span every major carrier. Social media is replete with mentions about the issue from customers of T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon — in addition to Canadian carriers as well as Google Voice users, to name just a few. And that doesn’t even cover them all.
