First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so do tell me if it's not.

I switched phones recently from an LG G3 to this one and so I had to ask my provider for a smaller SIM card in order to fit the phone's slot.
After switching phones and using the new card, I noticed that the messages people sent me had a considerable delay in being received, be it 10 minutes, some hours or sometimes even a full day (according to the details displayed by my messaging app)
I tested my SIM card on my old phone to see if the problem was fixed or not and I didn't notice any delay there, so I assumed it was the new phone and flashed LineageOS 14.1 to see if it would fix the problem. I didn't get any delay during the first day.
Today, however, a message got delayed by 10 minutes and so I have no idea if the problem was fixed or not.
Could anyone please help me understand what the issue might be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I think I fixed it, if anyone's having the same problem.
Disable VoLTE and change the system select in the SIM options to Home only, that's what did it for me.
Please close this thread.

Solution to delayed messages with Miui 10 os.

I see some of you are having problems with delayed sms. What I will recommend to do is not a ?% fix, yet it has worked for me as a user of Miui 10.

1. Go to settings and select system apps under app settings.
2. Select messaging and scroll down to additional settings. You will see 'Short Message Service Center' select it.
3. The number provided in this field is actually your network provider service center number, which is what we will now replace. You put in your area code first with your cell number replacing the default 'service center number' founded. Problem solved.

This was my fix, having to deal with two step verifications being delayed, on my xiaomi redmi plus 5 which was annoying.
