The lack of this knowledge has led to problems.  For example, yesterday,
my girlfriend stood me up for a 6PM date.  She told me that while taking
a walk Sunday morning, 3 men had kidnapped her, taken away her phone,
and didn't release her until 9PM.  I didn't know there was a problem
until 5PM when I turned on my phone and got a text from her that said 2
men were following her.  She's telling me now that she sent this text at
9 in the morning, but I think it might not have been as late as 4 or 5
in the afternoon when she realized she wouldn't be home in time for our
date, and that she was out with another guy, not kidnapped.  She knows I
don't turn on the phone until I'm leaving the house and I woudn't leave
my house before 5:30PM.  So the time the phone shows for the text is
5:30PM, but if I had the time it was sent, I'd now if she was telling
the truth.

You are definitely senile.

 
You have no sense of humor.
 

If you don't trust her to be truthfull with you, you should dump her.

 
You're right.  But the story was just a joke.   The real problem that
happened yesterday is difficult, almost painful, to discuss.  There
really are times when I'd like to know when a text has been sent.
 
Is there a way to tell?

The time stamp indicates when the system was able to send you the
message. There is no way except the phone of the sender to tell the time
when it was sent.
