The most common reasons are

 

 

  • Phone out of credit and cannot receive SMS.
  • Phone number active but phone switched off or out of range.
  • Active pre-paid account but SIM not in phone.
  • Network problems
  • So check network status here https://status.o2.co.uk/

O2 don't provide delivery reports so the software in phones is incompatible with network requests.
If you type *0# at the beginning of your text you can force a response from the network though.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

You get a delivery report but never a read report. Not sure any network provide that. EE automatically give a delivered notification but I've no idea about other Networks
