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
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.
UK
T Mobile *0#
O2 *0#
Germany
T-Mobile *T#
Vodafone D2 *N#
O2 *N#
e-plus *N#
Sweden
Telia *KV#
Comviq KV#
Telenor ##
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
Claro - Brasil = *N#
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!
SWISSCOM
*N#

I have tried D2 *N# on Vodafone, but it does not seem to work. Any views from people using the iPhone with Vodafone? Thanks.
Any codes for Vodafone Malta ? I tried *N# and *0# and *KV# but nothing
it’s a number ZERO in between the * and #, gets me everytime
Yeah tried that with the ZERO and all the other codes . None work . Message comes up with the string and the iphone gives no reports . Guess i need the code for Malta Vodafone
Polish carrier PlusGSM (Polkomtel): XYZ
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?”
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 ?
what should i use if im using t-mobile in US? i tried *0# and it didnt wwork! please help
4 Croatia- *r* for t-mobile
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)
guys how do you get that code?
With Vodafone Portugal (and probably all other Vodafone’s) the string is *NOT# . Tested.
*A# HUNGARY TMOBILE
austria tmobile ?
*noti# for US T-mobile
Guys !! How do you find out these codes ?? I would like to get the one for Vodafone Malta

Does any one know the code for the network MTEL, Bulgaria??
10x in advance
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?
can anyone tell whats for Telenor and Warid in Pakistan.
Hi guys,
Any one know he code for O2 IRELAND? I have the new new iPhone 3G and the O2 UK code doesn’t seem to work
