text message and time zones

[phishinfurthur]

okay so i received a text late last night at like 1 am, but didnt know till this morning. the person who sent the text is from pacific time zone and im in the eastern time zone. does that mean they sent the text at 1am pacific and i received at 4 am eastern, but it says 1am their time zone as to thats what time they sent it? or does it mean they texted at 10pm pacific and i received at 1 am eastern and i have to figure out that they texted at 10pm?

Text message time zones are local to the respective phone. The message was sent at 10 pm pst which is 1 am est.

seriously? as much as I praise my android and I always will text messaging and picture messaging is my biggest disappointment! I was just talking to someone at work about it who also has a G1 and we were in total agreement. I think this device was launched prematurely and alot of kinks weren't worked out, not complaining i'm just sayin! I am faithful we will get hella updates on alot of these issues though. I love this site, I love everyone connecting and relating to the same issues. love it! I didn't notice a large time difference in text messages sent now i'm gonna check my device and see if i'm having the same issue. I have to sadly admit I got days before I check text messages.

Whenever you receive a text message, the time mentioned is not that time when the other person sent you. It is always the time when you received the message. Its like a rule of thumb. Even if you receive a message from someone at your timezone location, and he/she sent you a message at 1:02am and your text message gives you the time of 1:04am. It always means that the two minutes were wasted in delivering the message or you receiving it.
