On my (Android) phone, messages are normally timestamped by receipt, but tapping the message reveals the timestamp of sending.
According to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/33715-39-time-stamp-messages the sending timestamp is set by the sender's network, not the sender's device (or application).
