SMS Delivery Reports

[Anonymous]

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.

I've just sent a text using this to another O2 phone and got a delivery report so maybe just a temporary glitch as posted above.

Thanks for the reply. I think that method works on short messages. If it's a long message it doesn't work
