My wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy S5 phones. In fact, this is my third (First had a bad mic jack, second got REALLY slow, third is great) and we've had them for several years combined.
We live in a bad cell reception area, so first we got an AT&T MiniCell that works with our router. A $200 solution to a dead spot we apparently live in. That works fine for voice calls.
Text message work OK, but sending images with text can take 5-10 minutes for ONE image. Sometimes text (no images) go qiuickly, sometimes they take minutes, and sometimes the texts go "gray" and say "Could not send text" Try again?
I enabled WiFi Calling (200mb/sec Wifi connection) and unplugged the Mini Cell Tower. Slightly better, but only slightly.
Image go quickly on What's APP and Instant Messenger, and of course when attached to emails.
Is there a reason that texts are SO S-L-O-W compared to the other ways of sending texts?
Is there a setting we may have wrong?
Thanks,
Bob
