I love the way the iPhone stores your SMS text messages as chat sessions and it’s a great way to read all your old messages in context but one thing I have always thought was seriously lacking was the ability to get delivery confirmation reports on your iPhone.
Well now I can. To get delivery confirmation reports sent to your iPhone simply add *0# to the beginning of your text message and once the SMS message has been delivered you will get a text message back saying:
Message for +(number) has been delivered on (date and time).
The recipient of your text message won’t see the *0# part of your message as this is stripped out by the network.
This is confirmed working on O2 and T Mobile in the UK.
Let us know if it works for you.
