Text never arrived - any explanation?

My son sent me a text a couple of days ago which I never received.
We both have Orange contracts.
It only came to light because he had been away on exercise (with no communication) & we were eager to hear from him. I checked his useage online & saw a text had been sent to me but it has NEVER arrived. The Orange shop checked that I'd not accidentally blocked incoming stuff from him, I hadn't but they couldn't offer any explanation. I have heard from him since, but wonder what happened. Any ideas??

unfortunately - receipt of text messages have NEVER been guaranteed.0

Could be anything. Transient fault at a cell, message corruption & consequent discard etc. As Tony5101 says no guarantees on delivery and definitely no guarantees on real time delivery although the public expect it.0

Message curruption, what a lovely phrase. Many thanks!0
