If you had no network or your phone was off I wouldn't be surprised by an SMS delay.
Mobile coverage out here varies from intermittent if I'm lucky, to none at all, and it can sometimes be days before I go into town - texts taking several days to come through or being re-sent three or four times (presumably by the senders' service provider) are not unusual in in the wilds of Shropshire.
Having said that, you'd probably notice if your phone wasn't working or you'd spent three days away from civilization?

I took a phone call last evening, that revolved around me not receiving a text message on Saturday.
As I put my phone down I saw I had an unread message: the one that was supposedly sent on Saturday and it showed that that was when it was sent...
Against the date and time is a locked padlock symbol, which suggests that the date and time can be edited.
