Hello,
I know there are a few threads regarding this topic but they seem a few years old now and wondered if there was any new info on whether or not O2 plan to introduce this as a standard feature?
Most modern Smartphones have the option within their settings to receive delivery reports for text messages. These are usually confirmed on the senders phone with a small tick and indicate your friend has received the message you sent to them.
There are a few reasons why I find delivery reports useful and I'm sure I'm not the only one. One example is, if you know a message has not been delivered, you know your friends phone is possibly off and you can simply wait before sending them any more messages.
I realise you can manually type *#0 before every text message but this can be awkward and does not look very good when looking back through the messages you have sent.
In February, I came from BT (the carrier was Vodaphone, I believe) and they provided this simple network feature as standard. You could turn on the delivery reports option within your phones' settings and automatically get delivery notification whenever a message was sent, without the need to type in a special code before every single message.
If Vodaphone (and other carriers) can provide this feature as standard, why not O2?
Thank you.
