There's a Hidden Gesture to Show When Any Message Was Sent on Your iPhone « iOS & iPhone :: Gadget Hacks
In Messages, it’s pretty hard to miss the timestamps that appear on top of more recent texts, iMessages, or files. But if you want to view the exact times for each text, you’ll need to know about a hidden gesture.

Open Messages and go to a chat thread. Now, swipe to the left and hold onto the screen to reveal individual timestamps.
