OK, I know this old chestnut has been posted about before, but that was back in 2014.

 

I have just come over to O2 from Vodafone where text delivery reports worked OK. I used ChompSMS on my HTC One M8 when on Vodafone. I sent a text, got the progress yellow bar, then when the text was delivered a nice green tick to say that the recipent had received the text.

 

Now I find myself on O2 with a nice shiney new Samsung S8+

 

Now when using ChompSMS with the delivery report setting ticked, I send a text and get the progress yellow bar, but no green tick. I know that the texts are being received as I have asked, but I don't know that when I send them. I have tried a couple of different text apps and even the standard Samsung 'Messages' text app, all have the option of a delivery report checked, but I don't get a delivery report.

 

I know about the *0# code in front of the text message and that does give me a delivery report from Messages and ChompSMS, but who wants to keep doing/remembering to do it???

 

Any tips of advice would be great. If this is not possible and I do rely on the delivery report as I have only just bought the phone, I will have to change back to Vodafone.

 

Regards,

Steve

It seems to be the way to got to get round O2's pathetic non delivery report system. I have spent some time setting it up the way I want it and the embeded delivery report code is working well. It is a bit different to all the normal run of the mill text apps, but once you get your head around it, then it's all good Fantastic

 

I think that I will stick with it and it will get round O2's pathetic non delivery report system.

 

Try it if you need text delivery reports...

It's the network that doesn't support delivery reports and after all these years O2 are unlikely to change.

Hi Jonsie,

 

I have just been live chatting to the 'Guru' and they say that they do support delivery reports Smiley Frustrated

 

If that is the case, then I will have to go back to the store and switch back to Voadfone...

I'd like to stay with O2 as the signal where I am is a little better, hence the move from Vodafone Crazy

 

I hope that there won't be any issue with changing providers, can I change providers as O2 is not fit for purpose?

You get 14 days to change your mind - there's no need for a reason.
