There are two types of messages; messages with push alerts and without. We limit the number of messages to be sent with a push alert for users’ convenience.
Each Plus Friends has a different schedule for message sending. The frequency of message being sent will differ from each Plus Friend.
Plus Friends send two kinds of messages;
1) messages sent only to current friends and
2) messages only sent to friends who newly added them as Plus Friends.
You will not receive messages sent by your Plus Friends before you have added them.

Also, some Plus Friends recommended by your friends may not be available in your country.
