All my texts from VM normally come after 8am. Was the text actually sent at 2am, or did it just arrive at that time ?

The thing you must remember about the SMS system is its like e-mail, just because you send a text at a particular time, doesnt mean it will arrive straight away, if the system cannot deliver it for any reason first time, it gets queued for periodic retires until its TTL expires, and then its just dropped.
