Your experience doesn't shock me. I couldn't believe it myself until I did some hunting around myself, but in late 2004 and for part of 2005, some of my SMSs sent then didn't arrive until months or even a year or more later. (I couldn't believe it myself until I saw it myself and put 2+2 together after my meal companion said "you just texted me???" when I had not done so for months.) For better or for worse, I haven't noticed an SMS issue when using Hutch or Airtel since March 2006.
