Delay in incoming sms message (occasional issue)

Since summer has there occasionally appeared a significant delay in receiving incoming sms's. It is impossible to notice when the phone is not receiving messages as mobile network usually shows rather good 4G (or somewhat ok 3G) and therefore I assume the phone is connected to network. Some indication could be the level of wlan connection: if the alan connection shows weak status even I am at home where full availability exists, it is likely that booting the phone will improve both wean connection and bring incoming sms's (if there are any).

When this occurs is impossible to say. It may be that the phone somehow loses capability to receive messages right after I've sent one. On other occasions the phone may have been lying on the table all by itself for a few hours.

I have once been in situation where the problem solved itself. I had sent a couple of sms's at around 6 pm. Wondered a little as no responses came by the time I went into bed. In the morning the phone showed there were 3 new sms's, all of them had been received a little after 1 am while I was asleep and all of them had been sent before 8.30 pm.

If there's been a delay, it is possible to see easily. In the sms list the phone shows the time of receipt of the sms. When the sms is opened, below the message the date states when it has been sent.

I have not been able to try if it is possible to call my phone while sms's are circling around somewhere and not getting in.

I have noticed the problem with version 1.0.8.20 and also with the 1.0.8.21. I occasionally use mms's but not on a daily basis, not even weekly. I've had the same operator for years without having these issues, which are pretty new.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Any ideas what could cause it, I would not exclude the user from the list of possible reasons...

EDIT 10.10.2014: After a few days using only 3G it looks like the problem has disappeared (or at least gotten a lot more rare, an improvement anyway). As @penpen suggested, the 4G as a network is not yet exactly perfect and trying not to be hip and hot and to use the latest technology does have a positive impact of incoming old-school messages. Thank you for help!
