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!!!!

Latest from o2 is that the WM2003 upgrade for UK XDA1 is still, yes still, undergoing testing. It's got 2 be brilliant when released after all this testing!
If u want to put some pressure on send an email to:- [email protected]
I reckon if they get a few hundred emails they'll get their finger out just for some peace and quiet - so go on give it go.
confirm
can anyone confirm this one ?
this is awesome if we are still in the books for new releases.
Where did you obtain this info "Latest from o2 ..."???
I sent O2 a mail back in March, but they replied;
"Thank you for your query
At present there are no dates as yet to introduce WM2003 for the XDA1. This may well come, but we have not been informed.
Sorry we cannot advise further. "
I will send them another to see if anything has changed...
just got the beta2 for the photo contacts pro from lisa pocketx...she is just way too cool when it comes to support and response...i think i like her and this product...
its just working flawless on my imate k-jam(mobile leaving network issue...dont know if it is photocontacts..testing)...so u guys should write to her([email protected]) to get your copy by mail if u have already purchased the upgrade.
this is what i wrote to her and her response....
Hi Deepak,
You are right about the upgrade process. We are going to make it simpler for people to do this in December.
I have sent you the new beta 2 of Photo Contacts PRO 4.0 in a separate email. The new version that supports WM5 will be released next week.
Best Regards,
Lisa

Yes lisa….i did read and respond in many forums wiz xda developers,howards,modaco and beyondtech and everyone is desperately waiting to use photo contacts…please send me your beta version and I shall respond for any bugs etc….
Also your site and handango still says loud and clear that this software supports all windows mobile platforms…quite confusing for even me…I check your website and same there too….then u say upgrade…then to redownload enter details…took me to handango…entered all details to get to my regular download page…where it said, too many times I have downloaded this software so enter card number again(though this is a handango feature still informing u of the trouble a person takes),post which download starts, in a millisecond download is over….there to find a small note saying mail to get download…for a new person to emailing and internet this would be one of the most frustrating moments…I took 30 min to finally get this info that I have to send u a mail…
Well all good that ends good…your product is great so all cool but the experience for the upgrade must be a little better for a consumer (my thought)

I am pasting the question from another forum which interests me as well…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi all,
when sending sms and you set the setting for ask for delivery notice on you get back the delivery notice but it will only show you the number not the Name.
This is very annoying when you are sending sms to many contacts.
Is there a work around that?. I contacted the poor online support of Imate and one "not-so-tactful" support lady said "this is what it suppose to do" and they cut me off even before asking my next question to them.
what a shame i-mate has such a poor online support."
Unfortunately I don't think there is. The delivery report comes back from the networks servers with the persons mobile number only. The contact name for that number is stored locally on your phone handset only. What you need is a program that can scan received delivery reports, pull out the number and match it to your contacts database. Far too long winded.
Such a function would probably only benefit someone sending one sms to multiple contacts, then waiting to see who actually received it, so probably not considered by any software developers.
never the less, it is still a shortcoming of the Windows Mobile software, as all nokia phones old and new (even the ancient 8210), and sony ericsson phones can do this!
