SMS taking 10 min to be delivered?

[Deadman64]

Sometimes when I text someone it takes about 10 minutes for them to get the txt. I tested this with a friend [on at&t] standing right next to me. It has been happening quite often now since I have had my iPhone 3G. It doesn't occur every time but enough to be quite an annoyance.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can fix this?

from my experiences, texting some one right next to me i always get a delay
I don't know why I'm just basing this off of my own experiences.

4/5 bars of 3G. Usually always have at least half full of bars.
