My phone stores text messages without giving them to me?

As I wrote, my phone will receive text messages without ever actually allowing me to see them. They get stored somewhere, but if I connect my phone to Verizon's internet, sometimes I'll get 5 or 6 texts that were sent days before. Or I'll just have my phone on and spontaneously it'll say that I received a new text, but when I look at the details on the message, it'll say when it was stored (the date and time that it was sent to my phone when I SHOULD have received it) and then tell me when it was received.

I understand that it usually stores texts when the network can't get to my phone (it's off, bad signal, whatever), but when it's on, it still won't send these to me. I got a text from 2 weeks ago... yesterday. Is there any other way to search for these without having to connect to the internet? Because even when I do that, sometimes it won't pick up on some of the messages.

It didn't do this when I had just gotten the phone. It started about 2 months ago, and I got the phone about 6 months back.
