Recieve-sms example question

My Dash arrived and I got it up and running and figured out how to upload from the Arduino IDE. I also got a phone number so I can send SMS from my phone to the dash. I am having problems with the example you posted above. I changed the first alarm so it wakes up every 20 seconds instead of 5 minutes and I commented out the second alarm which was set for 25 minutes. Not sure why there were two alarms in there. So now every 20 seconds it connects to the Hologram Cloud and sends a signal strength message. I commented out the other messages. The issue I am having is that both Cloud and phone SMS messages are rarely processed and transmitted to the Hologram Cloud Dashboard and when they are it is usually several minutes after they were sent.

On the other hand, when I use the example posted in this thread both phone and Cloud SMS messages come through very quickly.

What’s the deal? Should I just use the older example for now?
