Turning on reports will let you know when its delievered, no way to know if its been read afaik.

Only problem with you is, Orange now charge 1p for each report, this is the main reason i didnt take the N95 with them! Sure its only a penny, but send 1000 texts a month and thats ten quid!

You can get a report that tells you when the recipient has got the text in their inbox, but as far as I know there is no way of telling when they actually read it. You can do this by putting *#0 at the beginning of your text. I think it's that. Or *0# :p google it.

This is NOT the same as delivery reports, apparently :confused: Just what I read...

How on earth can they possibly charge you 0.001p??? And how can you possibly pay??? Money doesn't exist in amounts that small.
hmmm I could have sworn it was less than a penny but ive just checked and it would appear I was wrong I do appologise
 
I quite like the O2 method,

You can't enable or disable it, but instead type (star, zero, hash, space) before your message.

It then replies to you, spoofing the person you sent it to's number saying "message delivered from [your number] to [their number] at [time]. Message: [what you sent]"

The *0# isn't included in the message they receive.

This means it's optional. It's also free.


However, I'd prefer if it was a code that was more simple to type in text messages (instead of going through symbols and numbers). You can get round this with templates, but with my Samsung, they are pretty poorly implemented as you have to select the template, then press again then press send. (or from nothing on the screen, press menu, 5,1,4, select template and click, 2)


Do other networks send them in a similar way, or do they get sent as those messages which appear once which tell you your credit?
