# CallTower Information - Delay In Termination To Cell Phones

**Last updated:** Oct 27, 2022, 12:29 PM by Jessica C-Smith

Sometimes delay occurs when calling a cell phone. The reasons for the delay can be:

- If the called party has a non-voice wireless service active at the moment a call setup is attempted. (Texting, e-mail),
- If the called party is roaming
- The called phone has not had recent communication with the cellular network,
- If there is a weak radio signal which requires the network to repeat one or more command messages to or from the cell phone being called,
