Texts sent while iPhone 4 is off never arrive? only since update to OS 7

Why don't text messages sent while my phone is off get delivered when I turn the phone on? This has only changed since update to new OS.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4

I contacted support from carrier. With phone turned off, the carrier sent an SMS and it showed as delivered by their trace. It never showed up on my phone. They suggested restoring the phone to default. I did this, and recovered data from restored backup. Did not fix problem. Texts come through fine as long as phone is on. It is only if it is off that texts sent get lost and never show up.
