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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!

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 guys. I'm in the usa. as you american know that in the USA people get charged for recieving message. anyway Everytime I send a message, I recieve a message back from "system administrator". Is this what the universal does or is it from the carrier I use ? I'm wondering if I get charged from that message delivery confirmation. thanks
Check the SMS account options and uncheck the "Request delivery notifications" setting. It's enabled by default in some ROM versions.
But the question is....
do you get charged for the notification? I never really thought about it before but mine is turned off.

that's what I want to know too
It isn't charged usually. And the name "System Administrator" is just a label assigned by your HTC. It works the same for me here in Sri Lanka, the notifications are free. However, you should check with your carrier to make sure there isn't a hidden cost for this, because after all, bandwidth is being used to send the delivery notice.
I was thinking(stop laughing) really and truly you shouldn't be charged for it because all you are getting is notification from your message center that it's out of there hands and delivered to the message center of the other party, because if the other parties phone is turned off he/she won't recieve it.
Correct me if I'm wrong?
what do you mean by "message center" ? like the notification is from a built in software in the universal ?

You can turn off this sms notification option
If you want to change sms notification
you should write a COM server and register it place of standart COM object
My phones on UK O2, and got the very annoying age verification stuff on it. This means that if I want to browse an 18+ website, no not just porn, I need to verify my age first. However, this can only be done by entering a valid credit card number, I choose not to have a credit card only a debit card, so I'm unable to remove it.
Just wondered if anyone knew how to get round this without flashing the ROM.?
just ring o2... i did and they released the account.
he is right, just give them a call. I've never been bothered much about this bar, but one day I got p....d off quite badly when I was trying to open google translator page and got their +18 bar message. (!)
edit: already been said.
Thanks for the info guys, I've just phoned O2 seems I got a 2 day wait before this can be removed.
Thx again.
admit it, its for porn
