Hi
About a week ago I bought myself my first iPhone, a Black iPhone 5 32GB,
I bought it unlocked, so it was around €800.
Now I started noticing I get delayed messages, sometimes it even takes hours before I get them.
Now I do not expect such thing from an €800 phone.
What can cause this?
-Should I get a new sim card? (it's only one week old, but still)
-Could iMessage cause this? (I like to keep iMessage on)
-I have a transparant plastic case around my iPhone, can this cut the reception or something? The image I've insert shows you the cheap case that protects my phone.
-The reception bar (the thing that indicates signal strength) seems not to have any problems because most of the time it's pretty much full.
-Could other networks in my surroundings cause this? (like Wi-Fi)
-I like to turn off 3G because of the faster decrease in battery life, should I turn it on?
Sorry for the noobish question, I do enjoy the Apple devices but this is just a bug I can't accept.

Thanks in advance
