Message in a bottleneck
Am I the only one who has experienced significant delays in receiving an SMS, sometimes up to a few hours? If users are relying on timely SMS to access their system, it is possible that working time could be lost (SMS to replace token security). How do those lost man-hours compare against a £40 token?

We have been using SMS for dynamic PIN sign-on over the internet for over a year (see www.caterman.org/greenfrog.html to try it)for similar systems to www.computing.co.uk/2194819 without any problems, including SMS ordering. Are the problems experienced by Andrew R confined to only his mobile phone company, or are the delays at one or more particular SMS originating mobile phone companies? It would be VERY interesting to know!
