How come my text groups that contain non-imessage friends don't work?

My messages are regularly delayed and I don't always get texts when everyone else does?


This has been a real issue, especially on trips and when picking up our kids during carpools. How can I make sure that all of my text messages get delivered?

SMS messages are a carrier feature. I'd start by contacting them.
