Tip: How to get SMS delivery reports on an iPhone

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.

Update

It appears that different networks use different codes.

T Mobile *0#
O2 *0#
Orange RCT followed by a space
Virgin *0#

US
T-Mobile *noti#

Germany

T-Mobile *T#
Vodafone D2 *N#
O2 *N#
e-plus *N#

Sweden

Telia *KV#
Comviq KV#
Telenor ##

Brasil
Claro *N#

Switzerland
SWISSCOM *N#

Turkey
TURKCELL *N#

Poland
PlusGSM (Polkomtel) XYZ

Croatia
T-Mobile *r*

Portugal
Vodafone *NOT#

Hungary
T-Mobile *A#

India
Voodafone *NOT#

Qatar
Qtel *N#

Belgium
Proximus *R*
Base *N#

Greece
Vodafone *#
Wind *0#

Serbia
MTS *!#
Telenor *!#

Romania
Orange *NM#

Israel
Orange *NM#

If you know of any other working codes for carriers not listed above please leave them in the comments for all to see.

Thats graeat ! what code is for polish plusgsm carrier.
*0# or *N# not work
on 25 Nov 2007 at 6:36 am2Carlos

Claro – Brasil = *N#
on 30 Nov 2007 at 2:21 pm3kish

I’m using iPhone on Orange UK and the code to get delivery reports is “RCT ” (that’s case sensitive with a space after the 3 letters). Also, you get charger 1p per delivery and the recipient of your text will be able to see the “RCT ” in the text. How strange!

Polish carrier PlusGSM (Polkomtel): XYZ
on 04 Jan 2008 at 6:29 pm12chris

How do u find out what the string is ? The twats at Vodafone Malta had no idea and said if the phone has no Delivery Report option then you can’t get reports .. Idiots .. When i mentioned the string they were like “AHH?”
on 07 Jan 2008 at 10:53 am13Niko;)

Czech carrier o2: YYYY in front of the text of a message – this text does not have to be separated from the message with a space, but the “Y’s” must be entered precisely in this form, not as lowercase letters (the recipient will not see them)

Please tell me … How do you find this stuff out ?

on 10 Jan 2008 at 7:40 pm17Unhappy

The best method, but the touchiest is sending an AT command on baseband to set the parameter. This will appear in the SMS header and ask the status report to SMS-C

AT +CSMP=33 seems the good one. (not tested by the way)
on 10 Jan 2008 at 10:15 pm18Mehrdad

on 23 Jan 2008 at 3:47 am19Louro

on 09 Jul 2008 at 4:01 pm80jaxor

Hah, this is really funny… what is supposed to be the coolest phone on earth doesnt support one of the most basic GSM features that even my oldest Sagem used to support.

Btw, these codes are totally SMSC specific and if your operator doesnt have an SMSC which supports delivery receipts through prefixes in text messages (which btw is a prehistoric feature before standard delivery receipts were introduced) you have to live without delivery receipts.

Are they going to introduce it in the iPhone 3G?

To delivery reports for sms for 3 g iphone, at beginning of text before entering all your wording, enter *0# then space then the rest of your message.

You should recieve a delivery report below the message you sent in the contacts chat pane. I recieve the report almost seconds after sending and on my trial I recieved the report a few seconds before the message came through on my Voda. Good luck in trying this and great job to whoever encoded this or found it out 5 stars

To install the package just run Cydia, add repository http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia and install package called iPhoneDelivery.
