This may have been discussed before but can't find it, so sorry if it is a repeat.

As O2 do not support SMS delivery reports by just activating the option in message settings here is what you do........

Start a new text message and before you begin type

*0# followed by a space and begin your message, the other person does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered.

Enjoy....S

so this needs to go at the beginning of the text message? I thought it went before the senders number?

Posted by Sooteee
No, it's the first three (four including space) characters of the actual message body.

a space is not necessary because the *0# is not shown on the recipients phone.

DAMN - He's right too, oh well can't be perfect all the time! Never tried it without, just looked better with.

Have been using that trick for ages. I have discussed it on Esato a few times already.

cant believe a modern network like o2 does not support this i really cant

Posted by Jake Blues
i was told by an o2 csa 2/3 years ago that the text msgin part if the network was very old and due for a major upgrade, afaik this has STILL not happend and with o2 pushing 3g and looking to close down 2g i think its safe to say, no matter how far away the shutdown, a major upgrade of any part of the 2g net wont happen.
