Bill Re the side issue of receiving SMS messages hours after they are sent:- This may be a WiFi out-of-range (or switched off) problem. Do have the iPhone set to send/receive data? I have seen this problem associated with iMessage, but I assume the DEFS system would be more sophisticated.
A DEFS question: do other iPhone owners have the same problem? As you have access to the group list, you could possibly set up a temporary iPhone service to test for incoming messages.
