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?

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!!!!

Hi All,
It is annoying to enable delivery reports for every message sent. Is there a setting to enable this feature by default?
Cheers
Lakshman
I am bored to put this mark everytime too.
I am digged in registry and haven't found anything useful.
Maybe someone have info how to make inbox requesting SMS delivery on default?
2 lakshman_mn: If you will find something - post it here please.
i'll bring this topic up a bit: this question is still not answered...
I am on O2 payg, I have to type *0# in the subject line of the sms to get a delivery report, is there any other way, even if I tich the delivery report it doesnt work unless I type the star command. I too would be greatful for a way of leaving delivery reports on all the time.
I find this on this forum under Blue Angel
This may help I was looking for this for a Longggggggg time
with a registry tool :
create a DWORD value called SMSDeliveryNotify in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings with the value 1
in my case it work great
Thank you...... Thank you......... Thank you.....
I have been looking for a way to do this from day one over 3years ago.
I have tried it on my XDA2 and it works. 8)
It's wonderful very very very a big thank , it's OK on my SPV M1000 , i try on
my Qtek S100
perfect perfect.. works great

But if it really works, Microsoft should feel ashame about that, because they never published such an important feature.

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!!!
Can anyone configure the below app to work with WM5? below is the version for the older handsets.
even better, this one works on my Jasjar.
I tried this one; it works.
Just tried it on my mda pro, doesn't seem to work?
Why on earth would you possibly want to put this cab file onto the phone?
If you go into the Options for Text messages on the phone you tick the box that says request delivery notifications and you will get your delivery reports. Have you not had a look through the options or the manual yet?
yes but the i-mate handsets have never had the option to permenantly keep the Delivery report options on as with other normal handsets, and the above cab files resolve this issue so for every txt msg you send you dont ahve to go to options and select the check box.
For some reason, with the O2 xda Exec, even using the built-in delivery notification option, I don't receive delivery notification even when the text is delivered to another O2 phone. Any ideas?
Did this ever work before on any other handset?
As from what i know o2 dont support delivery reports, for some reason if your on o2 then you need to type *#0 and then your msg, then you will recieve a deliver report, well thats what i have to do on my o2 line.
That's terrible! I'm new to O2, and before on T-Mobile and Orange I could just tick the box. Any other way round it that changing the phone number?
You dont need to change the phone number, in your main msg you need to add the above as text in the beggining. Or you can quicken things up by adding it as a 'My text' feature within the phone.
I understand now, thanks, however if I send a message and the text is, for example:
*#0Hello
The other person receives a text message with "*#0Hello" in it and I get no report back :?
CJS try *0#<space> then your message
Nope, no good already tried it
CJS I've just sent a message using "*0#" and it works no problem mate
Oh! ump001 said "*#0" and then when you said try it with a space I didn't notice you'd corrected it to "*0#". That works just fine, even without a space. Cheers!
Ouch though, all those tests with the wrong code really hit my credit

Does it work on O2, bypassing the need for *0#?
O2 simply don't have delivery reports as per standard on their network. The only way to do it is with the *0# option in the Subject title (thereby ensuring you have the "space"...

CJSnet; sorry, I'm on T-mobile. Delivery reports working fine for me, but I know that KPN NL doesn't support them. I always get a message back that sending was succesfull, even when I know that the phone I'm sending the message is turned off...
Anyway, to go short: I don't have experience with O2
I've never really understood why o2 have to be different and be the only network not to have delivery reports. Could it be cost???? come on o2 stop being cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the day I got this new Exec I've never received a 'Delivery notification' after sending SMS messages, as opposed to 'Text message sent' popups.
The 'Request delivery notifications' is checked in the options for Text messages.
Anyone else on O2 have the same problem?
YES! Yes yes yes. I've got precisely the same problem, including having the 'Request delivery notification' checkbox ticked. I've been trying to sort this out for quite a while but had no success as of yet. If anyone has encountered this and fixed it, please post the solution here!

Surely it must not be something that O2 supports?
How/why could they fail to support SMS delivery reports? Kinda basic innit? Perhaps I'll contact some other friends who use O2 and ask if they get delivery reports using dumber handsets.

I found an interesting post on another forum:

But unfortunately my registry settings have 'SMSDeliveryNotify' already present and set to 1
delivery reports for sms on O2 Network
HI,,
Just a Quicky....
O2 doesnt support delievery reports on the network. Thats why you never get a delievery report even if you tick the relevant option on your handset.
The only way around it is, key *0# before each msg you send (in the body of the msg) & you will recieve the report.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info loodi
Seriously?... Anyone have any idea why this might be? I only switched to O2 a couple of months ago when I got my Exec - always been with Orange before, who were very good to me (yes, including delivery reports!). Is there some sort of cost incurred to the operator perhaps?
