What are you like with text/sms messages?

[jam07]

Maybe that's what happened with me? Been waiting for a reply from since 5.15pm on Saturday, so am a bit worried and a bit down about it -it's the longest that she has taken to reply. I sent another message on Sunday eve just saying that I hoped she had got my message and that I tried to send her one earlier, but the battery on my iphone had run out (I'd been staying at my parents & had forgot to take my charger), and the smart phone I use to receive messages from her wouldn't send the message as I guess I had used my load of messages? I sent her a 500 pesos load recently, so that can't have run out and even if it has, it's only 1 pesos for her to send me a message. I don't think she has been on the internet as she still hasn't read the e-card I sent her on Christmas eve (I did send her a real Christmas card as well!) or forwarded the email to my home address that she had sent to my work address on Christmas eve by mistake.

Don't know what to do now. I was hoping to chat to her over the last 2 days as well .

have you tried calling her through landline and mobile instead?

have you tried calling her through landline and mobile instead?

Indeed if a problem with load (I know family in phill have complianed its simply vanished) she should still be able to recieve a call..

Of course make sure you dont call direct on your mobile or landline. For the best suggestions for your situation check out the moneysaving experts table you should find many links to it on here...

Hadn't seen your earlier post. I just checked and she sent the last message at 4.25pm and I replied at 4.38pm on Saturday. Yes, I have a Smart roaming sim-card on a different phone, so thats why it only costs 1 pesos for her to text me. Yeah with the e-card, it sends you a receipt when it's been read and also I would have though if she had been on the PC, then she would have forwarded that message as I did say that I'm not back to work until Jan.5th which is too long to wait to see the message!

I've got a 1st dial calling card which is 5p to landline or 5p to mobiles. I haven't called as I didn't think she wants to talk if she doesn't want to text me and has been silent for 3 days. Too late to phone now anyway as it's after midnight and also don't know if she's back at work or what as I don't know what she's been up to over the last few days. She had said before that she hasn't sent a text during UK night-time as she didn't want to wake me, but I said it's ok to text me anytime as I switch the phone off at night so I won't get woken and I'll see any message that she's sent once I wake up.

Another point sir is o2 have had many outrages recently due to the Iphone and what not...

Like Sim11Uk says Phills do seem to get wrapped up in the family thing and time flys by she wont want to interupt your Christmas break and will be waiting for you to call

The Wife has had that when she goes back home or goes to Italy to see her mum. When she does ring or goes to realises its to early to late Like you if my Phone is on its my fault if im snoozing or if its off I will pick up the message when i wake up.

My problem is that I am always leaving my phone on silent so it doesn't interfere with work.. But then I leave it on silent only to come across 7 or more text messages and a missed call or two

So, I guess I am not the most reliable person with regards to text message replies

I guess I'll call her tomorrow evening her time. Just say that I've been a bit worried and thought that maybe she hadn't received my messages or something.

With text messages, I normally reply fairly quickly, but depends on how busy I am and it an answer is needed. But messages from girlfriends/partners I always try and reply quickly to show that I care about them & they are on my mind. I also love hearing from them and know that I hate waiting for replies from them myself, so I don't want them to feel the same in waiting! Maybe she's just different with text messages, but I've always felt that if they don't reply or take a long time, they don't care so much about you. I guess it's also that I've not been so lucky with women before and have had a LDR before (she only lived in France though, so not quite the same!) and she just disappeared without ended it or anything after nearly 3 years of knowing each other, so I guess I maybe need a little more assurance that they do really care about me. I'm also on my own a lot at work and at home, so that also makes me feel more frustrated in waiting to hear.

Sounds like a good plan.

I think we forget in our always switched on world where interactions only ten years ago took days are dealt with in mintues if not seconds. We need to some times stand back and think hang on lets slow down a little.

I know im gulity of thinking electronic time when i should be thinking real time let alone Phill time

I tried phoning her mobile over an our ago (1.45pm), 30 minutes ago and just now and no answer. I also phoned her land-line after I tried phoning her mobile the first time and one of her sisters or neices answered and said she was out and didn't know when she would be back, so I just said to let her know that I had called. It's a little tricky for them to understand my accent. Can't really call the land-line again as it's now 11pm there and quite late. I've heard nothing from her for 4 days now.
