Every time I send an sms (after clicking on options and selecting SMS deliery report), I never get the report back, earlier (about 2 days ago, I used to), but since then, nothing. And I haven't added any new s/w or done anything to the phone. What could possibly be the reason? Any thoughts? Thanks.
well a thing like that could also be an issue with the phone company
O2 pay as you go never gives sms delivery receipts but if you type *0# in the "subj" box (below the number you are sending to) you will get them.
Thank you for your replies, appreciate the same. Did a soft reset and things are back to normal, sms delivery reports are now working.
Sorry to bring this up again but my Imate is still not receiving the sms delivery reports. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Is there any way to set the default to getting a delivery report?
I can't even find an option for a delivery report on the XDA II !!
Are you sure it's there in the options menu of the SMS prog ??
Ravi
Hi Ravi, the option for sms delivery notification is in the new sms screen, bottom left, edit, then options and then check the box. However in my case, even after doing that for all individual sms', I still dont' get delivery reports....used to get them initially about a week ago but nothing ever since....... anyone having this problem?
Vikas
Hi. I do not have a XDAII but still the XDAI. However, since flashed with WM2003, I do not get sms report either. I'm just wondering if it is not a WM2003 bug somewhere.
I'v never ever ever managed an sms receipt on XDA1
Has anyone managed an SMS delivery receipt on the original XDA? Maybe its down to the carrier not the phone. I'm on an O2 contract and it wont work at all!! :evil:

Hi, :lol: All I can say is I have been with O2 UK since 97, I have used Nokia 9000, 9110, 9210, 9210i, XDA, XDA2 and none of these phones will give you a SMS receipt. This is O2, not a fault on our phones.
The only way to get a receipt is at the start of your message is type *0#
O2 should really move with the times. We own one of the most advanced mobiles on the market and there support, leaves a lot to be desired.
StayLucky Regards Jim :wink:
Do O2 then charge you for the text reciept?
So all i have to do is type *O# (is that a zero or an oh?)
so start the message *O# then put a space and then typr the text?
Hopefully that will work then. No doubt O2 will fleece me and charge for the reciept!
Cheers for the info. :wink:

O2 Delivery reports
One word of warning with the *0# thing... people won't be able to reply to your texts! Dunno why this is, but whenever I send a text with delivery reports turned on, if someone tries to reply to my text it fails!!
You can reply to them!
Thanks for the warning Pope.
Just tested it out by sending a message to the missus' phone. I got a delivery report and she was able to reply direct! :lol:
Mind you hers is a vodafone so it might just be an O2 thing once again?
Cheers for the tip anyway; i shall only use the *0# thing.. on people I know once I have explained there may be a problem with replying. :wink:
By the way I notice that the reply says that it comes - from "joe bloggs" just as it would if you recieved a text from the person; if they were in your contacts list. Does that mean that the recipient is paying for the report?
The reason why O2 doesn't allow delivery reports is down to the sheer vloume of SMS that get sent via the network every day. Because of the Online accounts getting all the free SMS's (both P&G and Contract) along with the message bolt-on's and current 400 per month Retail offers on new connections, the network is saturated by SMS messages. Adding delivery reports would cripple the network completely. I have been told by O2 Dimensions that the daily amount of SMS sent each day over our network is 4 times that of the next competitors!!!!

You just get a notification when your sms is delivered to the receipient...
HTH
Stefan
it sends you a confirmation SMS when your SMS has been consigned on receiver device (if he's out of coverage or with the device turned off you will not receiive the confirmation until the receiver is became reachable).
tested on Imate JAM, works perfectly.
imate jam already has this built in? check the options out when creating a new message it will have a tick box saying: Request message delivery notification
@gazzaman: yes, but you have to check it every time. This defaults it as checked.
ah cool cheers didnt know that
i wonder to know how to read SMS from SIM card?
anyone knows?

O2 Delivery reports
I don't get delivery reports with O2; I've read about a code that you need to enter before the message but is there any other way to activate it - who watched watchdog tonight o2 got a slatting :-(
O2 Sms delivery reports
To force an SMS delivery report on the O2 UK GSM network prefix the SMS message with *0# followed by the message. Example *0#Hello......
Incidentally, there are codes which can force an SMS message to screen, etc. but it is so long since I used them I have forgotten - anybody remember?
If you use that code to get a delivery report on O2 tho, if the receiever chooses to reply to your SMS, they will not be able to send the message. Not sure why this is, but I had this problem and after a little googling discovered that it's a problem with the way that O2 implements delivery reports!
Why oh why can't O2 just do it the standard way?!? Then we could just use the delivery report check box as well instead of having to type a code!!!
Well, its been a while since I am trying to get sms confirmations but they dont seem to work.
Everytime I enable the checkbox asking for confirmation but all i get is SMS sent message which is almost instantenous. I know there is a tweak to activate sms delviery notification by default so that you dont have to click the checkbox everytime but nothing works.
I saw a program which allows you to get your contact name in the delivery confirmation but in my case I just dont get any confirmations.
Using: qtek 9100 with factory ROM 9/22/05 on cingular.
Or could it be a cingular problem ?
Guys, please let me know

Could be your network operator's problem, could also be a problem with the recipient's network operator. Both networks have to support the feature. Try with somebody else's SIM for an entirely different network - preferably after making sure that it works for them on their phone; assuming your device is SIM-unlocked.. if not, either unlock it (void warranty and whatnot) or just ask Cingular whether it's supported at all (good luck getting an answer beyond template replies)

Thanks for the reply. Well, I see your signature and I have the same device with the same ROM as yours. Do you have this problem ? Are you able to get delivery notifications. IF yes, then please let me know which provider to do connect to.
I tried calling cingular, and they were so dumb that they started giving me solutions like poweroff and on your phone etc. So i just had to cut it short with them.
I wish they had a technical support team.
well, sounds like you got fed "The Script" by cingular... a bunch of places with support sites have their people read a 'script'... it's long, tedious, and very often for people like 'us' who do know what they're doing it'll feel rather ridiculous and pointless. If it's a free number, though, walk through it - if nothing else they'll give you a case file at the end and somebody higher up to talk to. Could ask for the higher-up from the get-go, but they tend to ask you whether you did all the things the lower-down asked you to do, and if you say 'no' or 'yes' (lied), they just send you back
Anyway, on to your question...
Yep - it works fine for me. I'm using a Lebara Mobile SIM, which used to connect to the Telfort NL network, but appears to be connected to the O2 NL network at the moment. I've sent text messages to people in NL on Vodafone and Orange, to one person in the USA on Verizon and one person in Australia whose provider name I don't know They've always worked for me - always getting a "delivery notification" text message - typically just a few seconds after sending, though I've had it happen that it took several minutes as well.

This could well be the network as I had a similar problem when I was back in the UK recently and connected to O2. They don't support deliver confirmations on their network as standard but you could add a 4 digit sequence to each outgoing text message that would then give you a delivery message back. Pain in the ass but it was fine for the week I was back.
I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and I know you can prefix an SMS with *0# to get a delivery report issued. I'm using that quite a bit at the moment as the normal delivery report notifications don't seem to differentiate correctly between pending and fully delivered messages - i.e. on my Vario both report that the message has been delivered, which for a pending message is completely wrong.
Do other people get this problem too, by the way? Using *0# option you can get a full pending or a full delivered message, complete with the actual delivery time/date info and the system's message-ID number so you can match the pending report to the delivered item.
Andre
*0# didn't work on my Lebara (from PPC to old phone)
but it did work on Vodafone (from old phone to PPC)
funnily enough the *0# remains part of the text message on both ends
Edit: and looks like vodafone charged me an extra 3 eurocents for the service %)

Did you remember to leave a space after the # ?
I didn't the first time and it was delivered with the message )

Oh this is something I didnt know, so I should try it. Not sure whether cingular supports it or not but lets see. By the way when you say prefix an SMS, do you mean the number to whom we send the sms or the sms text ?
From v8Dave's response I guess you have to prefix the txt with this code. Can you confirm ?

With O2 you prefix your message with it and the network strips this off the message before sending to the recipient. Remember to add a space after it otherwise it does not work and the recipient gets the whole message with the *0# at the start.

Yep - tried that after googling around to see if I'm doing it wrong on the wizard and noticed that somebody mentioned that it was "star zero hash space".. still gets sent along %) Very odd
~ Z
On T-Mobile UK, the *0# (star zero hash) message prefix is correctly stripped off the message whether you use a space afterwards or not. You still lose 3 characters from your 160 maximum, though.
Could someone confirm whether they have the same problem as me with their normal Delivery Reports system though? i.e. when I send an SMS to a phone which is currently switched off, I get a "Delivered" report on my Vario almost immediately, and then another identical "Delivered" report whenever the SMS really is delivered to the recipient's phone. The first report should say "Pending", of course.
It works correctly when I use the *0# method, so I'm wondering whether the T-Mobile software in the Vario is re-wording the delivery report in some way, but getting it wrong for "Pending" status reports?
Andre
hi guys..
sometimes my diamond doesn't send sms because of it doesn't receive signal..and I see the wrote "Message was not send, try again?".
does exist a way so that the diamond sends the sms automatically?
thanx..
Fabio
I would like it to do this also. Its not often i have no signal but still.
I thought this was a network provider settings(?) You can choose to 'keep sending' until the message is sent.

Sorry I was thinking about the settings in Nokia phone (!), message validity or something.
Although in my MDA Compact IV, I've not changed anything in particular. When it is either my phone (or the recipient) out of reception, I initially get a message not sent SMS back and when it comes back into reception the message sends.
I'm with T-mobile UK.
Omfg, still problem with sms. When i sent sms ( havent it in drafts, it is in sent items and i have delivery report) recipient have nothink!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like a problem with their network, not your phone. Try sending each other messages and see how you get on.
I complain it at my mobile operator O2 CZ, but they said that is all ok. Recipient has Vodafone CZ and they said that all is ok...
Both operators say all is OK but 5 sms from 10 not received ((( Dont know where is problem..

I know you got delivery reports, but have you checked your outbox, just to be 100% sure?
I am 1000% sure (
Hmm, problem is only to Operator Vodafone. Is possible, that sms are especial in code? I mean that sms have another form than normal low-end telephone?
