New Year’s Eve… pretty bad text experiences all round

Check out the comments added to the How was your New Year’s Even SMS experience post.

Just recently, Justin Lumiere of Gawker posted this comment giving the low down on his NYC experience:

New York City text messaging was completely hosed on Sunday night, especially between diverse networks like Verizon, Cingular and T-mobile. Many texts refused to go through. Others came through in triplicate. Still others were verified on a 5-hour delay, sometimes duplicating themselves as well. And last, one text message from Sunday evening just came through 38 hours later. Here’s to the lonely souls who should have picked up the phone instead of texting but were too shy… like me! Happy New Years.

Happy New Year Justin! 38 hours later? Still… least it got through, eh? ;-)
