In another thread I mentioned and illustrated the 24hr delay in getting SMS and data (internet) activated on foreign SIM card (norwegian in my case).

The phone with my norwegian SIM was probably off sometime, then when recharged and powered on, the SMS may have been send. I didn't notice as I did not use the SIM, was on russian SIMs on another phone.
the SMS was from T2 ie. former Tele2 (now it is a brand of Rostelecom), and had an activation link for SMS and internet. As I found it now I didn't use it. But then this:
the details shows a 3 hr delay between send and received, so much less than the 24hr blocking:
