Samsung Galaxy S3 - text delivery receipt problem

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello there, I became a new O2 customer yesterday from Vodafone after spending a very unhappy time with them. So far so good with the O2 service. My phone seems to have a little issue, nothing too important really so I don't think I need to visit an O2 shop but wondered if anyone else has this issue?

 

I like to have delivery receipts enabled when I send texts to my contacts. This is because I had an issue with Vodafone and have always requested delivery receipts since. I have enabled this on my S3 and it was working fine yesterday but today it's not working at all, even though my contacts are receiving my texts. I've de-selected and re-selected the option and restarted my phone but it still doesn't work.

 

Thanks you slight_smile

O2 don't support sms delivery receipts, only mms.

 

Can't explain how they worked yesterday but as advised, to get a delivery receipt you have to use *0# immediately in front of your written message.

Used to have to put *0# before your text to request a delivery report.

example: *0#How are you

Not sure if this still works buts give it a try.

How strange! That's great though thanks both for your help. At least I know now that they're not supported so I won't be constantly wondering slight_smile
