I got my first smart phone back in August and have been having problems receiving texts from people outside of my house. When I first turn on my phone in the morning, I can't not receive messages all day until I send myself a message of someone in my house sends me a message. After that, all these texts I didn't get before all come in at once. I can usually receive texts for the rest of the day after that. But the same thing happens the next day. Has anyone else had this issue before? I would appreciate any advice on how to fix this

If your phone is in a weak area in house, you may not receive text until you get a decent signal, then all at once. Wonder if similar to that?
Do you usually have WiFi On on phone in house?
