If this feature is important to you, you'll need to use a different phone. Sorry.

Yes, all carriers in Europe, and Asia has delivery reports to sms and mms. In Europe it is somehow available from the 90s. Now is 2015. Android support this, Windows Phone too but apple not becouse apple is "innovative".

Sigh.

Well, You'd better not argue about this anymore. Truly iPhone is great in comparison to other smartphones but even a great smartphone may has some problems. iPhone does not involve message delivery report which is actually supported by most of other smartphones. Maybe in US no one uses this feature and that's the reason Apple don't care supporting it.

But these facts are definite:

1- iPhone does not support Message Delivery Report

2- Apple is a great smartphone in comparison to other smartphones

3- Message Delivery Report should both be supported by phone and provider to function.


So finally if using this feature is critical for you, switching to android is the best choice.

Meg, You are probably right. However in 3 that I have worked before and some 30 that I have been in contact through the EU it is so. Probably not in US. That is I guess based on customers needs and habits.

That's why, in an international forum, it's always a good idea to specify region. Like Chris, I'm in the U.S.. It's not a big thing here. I can get a read receipt on my Samsung with a third party messaging app. It works most, though not all of the time. Given that SMS is about the most reliable form of cellular communication a consumer can use, one that will go through when there's not enough signal for a voice call, I figure they go through.


Personally, I find that if I know for certain someone read my text and hasn't answered it, that's almost worse than not knowing. 😉
