Did you get a Valentine's Day text message on November 7? If so, you can blame a company called Syniverse, which provides text-messaging services to major mobile carriers.<\/p>\n

Syniverse helps deliver text messages via its intercarrier messaging service<\/a> and boasts that it is \"Connected to more than 300 operators\" and processes 600 billion messages per month.<\/p>\n

Syniverse says it delivers 99.8% of messages within one second. But a server failure caused many messages—exactly 168,149, according to The Washington Post<\/a>—to be delivered nearly nine months late. (Update<\/strong>: Syniverse later acknowledged that the actual number of late messages was higher, but isn't saying exactly how many there were. See the update later in this article for more.)<\/p>\n<\/div>
