Weird SMS issue, possibly on Sprint's side?

I'm thinking this is a Sprint issue, but...

About 30 minutes ago, I started getting flooded with SMS notifications. Every SMS I've gotten in the past 24 hours is now showing up as unread - some with the original timestamp, some with a new timestamp. It finally stopped a couple of minutes ago... for now.

Not a fun way to wake up.

Yeah, my phone apparently sent out several txt's as well to people at 4am. :( It updated at 11pm last night. So far I pissed off 3 people because of it and I didn't even do anything! Grumble grumble grumble...

THe opposite happened for me. Someone sent me 5-6 text messages yesterday morning around 10 am. I didn't get them until 4 am this morning. I was none to pleased that my phone started blowing up AND my text messages were late...

My wife received a bunch of texts from me at 4 something this morning as well in Michigan.

Im in the Chicago area and the same thing happened to me....I was like "WTF is texting me at 4 in the morning!?" I received 6 text messages that had been sent the DAY BEFORE! They all had proper time/date stamps on them....

I am truly fed up with sprints poor service and excuses, like the one person mentioned above....Sprint got a whole lotta nerve blaiming the AIRAVE for any of our problems (as if they have nothing to do with the device...LMAO). Its bad enough that they are PIGGY BACKING off of our internet (which we pay for) to make up for their lack of a cellular signal (which we also pay for).

Never had ANY of these problems when I was with us cellular....the only reason I left was because I am a GADGET WHORE and us cellulars phones SUCK DONKEY BALLS! Its a shame too because I had me eye set on that new Kyocera Echo.....

But I cant take the dropped calls and poor service any more. (It sucks having to APOLOGIZE constantly to my friends, family and business associates for missing their calls and messages)

Same sort of issues for me, too. I've had a lot of people angry at me for waking them up from a picture or text that I "sent" at a time when I myself wasn't conscious...

With me, it happens more often with pictures than texts. People are still getting St. Patty's Day pictures from me that they've already received and have been receiving since that night.

I don't know what's at fault, but I'm on EB13 OTA and I don't remember this kind of stuff happening before that. I also sometimes have problems getting sms to send since that update.

I haven't sent our received any old texts, but current texts are showing up on my wifes phone as way off on the time stamp. She gets them right after I send them.
