This is a long one, but worth checking out, @Kevbev22 - see if any of the advice in here helps - yes I know your msg is delivered, but read on down a ways:

This happens often on iPhones because O2 don't support delivery reports so it confuses the system.

To get an accurate response, you need to start all your standard texts with *0# (will not be seen by recipient) and just ignore the iPhone reported 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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
