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.

*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?

Hi all,
This topic started in 'general' but would be better placed here. If anyone has any more input please reply here - I think this is currently the biggest problem with the out-the-box v1605.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57199
Cheers - Rich
I sent an email to HTC today and they told me there is no update...
This is still an issue
It apparently seems that the problem is only for Vodafone or Vodafone Group (SFR for example) users.
Any update on this issue ? This is really annoying....
Nothing I have heard yet. Apparently 242 mail notification works - but to sign up for this you have to get a code sent as SMS - and guess what - this SMS never turns up too!!!
R
I upgraded to the new HTC ROM but this has made no difference to the voicemail SMS issue

You can register at http://www.vodafone.net where you can set your alerts to be delivered by SMS. You need to enter your phone number for it to send a service SMS containing a passcode to, so you need to have your SIM a phone that you can get them on, ie not your v1605!! Once you've done that, you can put your SIM back into your v1605 and you'll then get SMS alerts for your voicemails and even the little answerphone icon in your top bar!!

I have finally taken this to the step of raising a technical ticket with Vodafone. After 3 days they came back to me saying it was definately the v1605 handset However, in order to try everything they are replacing my 5 year old SIM with a new one to see if that helps.
Hopefully this will at least solvev the problem of the vodafone,et registration SMS messsages not making it to my SIM no matter what phone it is on. At least then I can move to 242 instead....

as Matho indicates above, i have the v1605 as well as the Tytn and i have subscribed to 242 which now gives me voicemail text and icon.....
follow my thread indicated above, it's not the sim, it's the way the hermes variants handle the 'silent' sms texts that vodafone use for voicemail on their older 121 service
with 242 you can still even dial 121 from home or abroad and still pick up the same messages!! the voicemail icon and text service on 242 is much better than text or (annoying) dial every 3 seconds with vodafone 121
This is driving me mad - could not get the vodafone.net registration to work (it never delivers the autentication SMS) and my 121 has now also stopped 'alerting and delivering'. Vodafone sent me a new SIM but this has had no affect. I have tried the new SIM in a K750i but nothing. However, put my other (personal) vodafone SIM in my TyTN and I get the authentication SMS through straight away??? Could this be something to do with my main number being a business number and not a personal one?

I know it will not help, but my vodafone sim was also a business one and it worked 1st time
I haven't looked, but is there a way to repeat the signup process by selecting a 'forgotten password' option on the vodafone.net site? then put the sim into your k750 just at the point that the site sends out the sms confirmation.....I used a windows smartphone to get my sms so if you can get it on that I am sure the k750 will !
I hope you can get it work, it is a fantastic service
The problem is the same with all operators, it is a problem on the ROM. The only solution will be a ROM upgrade...
Suddenly at 22:00 last night I had 7 SMS messages come through - each with their own authentication string!!! Some 10 hours after my first attempt of the day. I went back to vodafone.net and registered again - worked first time. I am not ure if Vodafone did anything or maybe my new SIM neeed some time????
ALSO - it worked using the TyTN to recieve the authentication SMS - did NOT have to use another phone! I now have SMS notification and the *new* voicemail icon - excellent!
Rich (much happier)
Most excellent advice !
Subscribed last night and get text messages and the voicemail icon, even when roaming abroad now too !
Thanks all.
Just to add my two-pence worth to this subject.
I've just spent ages trying to sort out this problem!
I've got a v1605 on vodafone.....
I signed up to www.vodafone.net email, fax and voicemail facility (and managed to get the security SMS through ok) and all was looking good with my new mail/voicebox until I left myself a voicemail.
I got a SMS through saying I had a new voicemail to listen to, and the little O_O......I phoned 242 (or hit dial on the popup message), and was told I had no new messages :shock: - and as previous people have said the notification O_O wouldn't go away!!
As I soon discovered, dialing 242 on my mobile wasn't going through to the new service, it was going through to my old voicemail. If I dial my new voicemail box number (0788... number which I was given when signing up to vodafone.net) and press 9, and enter my PIN, I was taken through to the CORRECT mailbox, which had my message in it. After I heard that, the notification icon on the phone disappeared.
So for some reason dialing 242 isn't going through to the correct mailbox....I'm wondering whether this is something which will take a few hours to resolve.
I'll try again tomorrow, but if anyone has a solution let me know
Cheers people
you need to change the default number in the phone options.
goto phone, options, services, voicemail,get settings
in the voicemail box, I had 121 and still have but it seems to go through fine if it is on 242.......
each vodafone customer has a unique mobile number for answermachine but we can all access via 121 or 242....it was designed to use abroad when 121 was not always available, but most countries now support the use of 121 / 242
but, you may have noticed when you signed up at vodafone.net that you were given a new answer number (i think you can check it on the log in page).....if you are travelling where you can't get 121/242 or simply you have got used to entering your pin, put the new number in the voicemail settigs box in the phone app
hope it helps!
I updated my voicemail number to 242 in the phone settings.
I just tried 242 again, and it still goes through to the OLD 121 voicemail.
Hi Guys, i do not have a vodafone subscription so i don't have your problem. But i know there is some feature in wm5 where you can use incoming sms messages that meet given filter criteria to trigger a send/receive for an email account and collect your mail. thus an sms notification for new mail can be used to create a form of pushmail. if the sms message meets the filter criteria, you will never see the sms message. it just starts silently to get your email
on this link http://www-rocq.inria.fr/who/Arnaud.Porterie/projects/PushMail/
you will find a program that can make these settings. Could it be the case that on your phones this sms filter is activated by default for sms messages coming from your voicemail number but with no action attached to is. this could explain why messages vapourize
if this is the case perhaps you could switch this feature of with the program in the attachted link.
I have managed to get the Voicemail SMS Alerts to work.
I followed the link and regsitered and i recieved the sms with the code on my Voda Tytn and it did say it will take upto 24 hours.
I tested it and left a VM and it still did not work.
As i had errors, i ended up reflashing my phone again with the latest dopod version and did not modify the extended rom.
as soon as it booted up, i got the alert and it seems to working fine now.
I also managed to get all the Vodafone Connection Settings Back.

Dear All,
As many other users of this forum I have been looking for a way to know I have new voicemails. Since the text messages do not come through on many networks (Vodafone NL in my case) I needed a fix for this.
I have found this Today plugin in a German VF ROM and it seems to do the trick. No sounds of alerts but at least I can see that I have voicemails... Let me know if this works for you!
Bye to you all.
Hi i was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix a problem i've been having. able to do EVERYTHING on the phone except send sms's...they just go straight to the outbox and stay there and i get a message saying 'unable to send sms message'..tried everything i could find to no avail so far, so any suggestions would be much appreciated thankyou

it's a known problem in the old ROM of HTC (here in Holland). Just update to 1.66 via the HTC website or flash a custom ROM.
i've flashed to the latest from 1.72 that i could get and still the problem persists?
Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, and personal experience, the original SMS problem was silent. You didn't get an 'unable to send sms message' alert. How did this message appear, was it from Windows, the message client or a text from your service provider? To be honest it looks to me like a service provider issue. have you ever been able to text out with the current SIM?
Now I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
SMS problem
I have this problem also.
I think it's a bug in the software of HTC-sense ( not WM ), while, when I send a free sms (only one's a day) from the Vodafone-button in the Start-menu, this works well.
I have all the update's done from the HTC-site, also all the Rom's I've tried from this site.
Update!
I have tried to send a SMS with HTC sense Off, this has No effect!
Update 04-04-2010!
With other sim in Phone (also other provider) it works normal! So, my phone is working good!
It must be a problem with my Sim or provider (Vodafone).
I let you know the next days the solution of this problem!
Update 06-04-2010
When I installed a new rom on my phone, also the original Vodafone-rom, he installed the wrong number for the messageservice, I have tried this many times, the install was without +31 (netherlands). After editing the number everything works great!
It could be that other costumers have the same problem, but with editing the number with your Country-number the problem must be fixed, my old number was 06540881000 (vodafone),
the new number is +316540881000 (Netherlands)
can't send sms
I have the sam problame with differt sim card of different providers so I don't know what to do, pleas help.
My rom version is 1.66
Thanks

I have the same problem. My HD2 have the latest hungarian-compatible official ROM (v1.66), the SIM is T-Mobile. I send group sms often and the device send for example 18 from 22 and the last 4 stay in outbox (after a "sending message is unavailable" error meassage. Maybe its a secret settings the max sms of a day? In HTC or provider?
Could it possibly be a ROM/Radio Version mismatch?

if you go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Phone > Voice Mail and Text Message, what is your text message service center number?
this should be set to Optus' service center number, im afraid i am a telstra customer... so i cannot tell you what the number is... i can tell you if the service center number is the telstra one though.
good luck.
I have another type of question, but in the same subject: I have sometimes the same sms problem, all settings are ok but I need to check every time if the sms message went out from outbox. Sometimes the outbox is empty so the message is sent but sometimes sits there and I have to send it again or delate and compose again. But I receive no info about this!!
My question is if it's possbile to activate somehow in HD2 the information that the message is sent? Like in most simple GSM phones, you have info "the message is sent" and sometimes animation of flying envelope. Before HD2, I used a Qtek S200 with Windows Mobile 5.0 and when I was sending an sms massage, always the information "message sent" was appearing.
Is it possible to activate somehow this info on HD2?? Because, if the message is sent, I can only guess that it sent before checking the outbox or sent messages...
Thanks in advance for a solution !!

Check with your telecoms website, it should tell you what the phone number the SMS service goes through
Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Voice Mail and Text Message. The number should match your telecom's number. For some reason this can be blank, and can be the problem.
Sorry to reopen an old thread, but someone might find use for this answer.
I had the same problem, sms service center was ok. Solved it by changing sms carrier from gprs to gsm in advanced networks, witch can be found in Phone settings/menu/Advanced network/SMS service.
I bought my HD2 separately as Orange werent offering it on upgrade.....
All works fine with no issues other than the home screen is permantly displaying 'New Voicemail' & the voicemail icon is displayed in the title bar despite having no voicemails...
However when I do have voicemails I am recieving blank texts with tthe sender information shown as '[email protected]' .......... After speaking to Orange Technical they tell me these messages are system messages designed to tell the phone to switch on or off the voicemail icons etc & as the HD2 is not "Orange compatable' it does not understand & action correctly this function !!!
I am running latest HTC WWE ROM & have just flashed latest 2.10 Radio ..
I have tried several Roms from MIri, Artemis etc but all have same issue
Any Pointers much appreciated
Well like you, I have an HD2 that I'm using on Orange and I always get that initial text message with the funny symbols, every time I flash a new rom. However that always stops and voicemail works correctly once I have dialed 123 once from the handset. Are you saying that even after you have checked and deleted your voicemails, the voicemail icon is still there and you keep receiving texts?

Yes............. The New Voicemail on the main screen stays there & The Icon in the top bar is always there have tried several Roms but always get the same result
I have similar issues. From time to time I get a funny text message with those symbols. It also appears to be a SIM stored SMS
I came from orange that was bundled with my original HD, but I haven't ever experienced any of these issues. Have you experimenting with the STK service setting? Perhaps that might help.
