This in not accurate.


The time stamp shows the time the message was sent when the bubble it pulled left, not confirmation of delivery.


The request is for a "Delivery Receipt" which is a separate message from the recipients phone back to the source phone and indicates successful delivery at the recipients end. This feature is not available on the iPhone 5s. The feature is NOT part of iMessage. It's part of the cell providers text messages systems.


For the record, the October 2014 iPhone 5s manual does not speak about this in any way. The word "Delivery" appears one time in that manual and has to do with email, not texting. The industry standard term for this is "Delivery Receipt". This is not a "Read Receipt".


I tested the *0# thing I've read about. Doesn't work on Verizon iPhone 5s.


Thanks
