>>Is it likely to be a 'character' of the new 'phone?
No. Something is wrong.
There are places I go where there is no signal and so I turn my phone off. When I return to civilisation I turn it on and it goes nuts as it catches up on messages and alerts.
Firstly if you were happy with the old phone and don't intend to use any 'new' functionality then I'd recommend staying with the old phone. The new one is going to be hassle and short battery life for no benefit.
However, if you want to move on then obviously you need to get to the bottom of this.
Have you tried switching it off, having your wife text you, and then switch it back on to see if you get the text?
p.s. I don't understand this bit "The new one doesn't show texts unless it's switched on". Surely no phone would show a message if it was off?
