Hi everyone, my phone is sending SMS messages, but is telling me they have not gone through. Giving me a send failure note beside the message. 

Do I need to update the message centre number or settings??    

does anyone else have this issue?

@Garylaing 

It's a common issue with O2 as they do not support delivery reports.

The software used by phones to determine delivery is not compatible so just defaults to a failure message.

Sometimes, starting each text with *0# will give the correct status.

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.
