@cdberkman There’s nothing special about our plugin – it sends email out the same way as any other WordPress plugin that uses the email function. It may be a server issue – it’s really hard to say.

We can fix major issues that we can replicate, but had the problems you describe. What webhost are you using? I’m glad the other plugin works for, if it’s a server issue maybe the other plugin is your best option.

Not that it’s consolation to you – but we’ve nearly 3,000+ downloads in the last month – and your complaint is the only single one of this nature (so far). If we get any others we can investigate, but to date we don’t have any.

WordPress cron is not the same as Unix cron. With a UNIX cron job, the operating system uses the cron job (that you’ve scheduled) to do something at a specific time and date.

WordPress cron allows you to schedule things at a specific time / date / interval – but it gets triggered in the background (at that time and date) when a WordPress page is called.

In other words – let’s say you have a plugin scheduled to do something “in 20 minutes”, but you don’t get a lot of traffic to your website, and the next time you get a page hit is in 30 minutes. The WordPress cron will run 10 minutes late.

So the reason the WordPress text message plugin would send out SMS messages immediately, or in 5, 10, or 20 minutes depends on how busy your site is.

looks like a webhosting issue on your end. Try the latest release version 2.0.3 – works with WP 3.3
