Hmm, that's odd. Are you sure about this? I have a few mates who are on genie and they get delivery reports no problems. I am now left puzzled. Anyone know more?

I don't get delivery reports on Genie, my housemate does - go figure. The *0# thing works though, as you say, and as far as I'm aware you don't get charged for it. I don't use it much though myself so I couldn't say for sure.

Mark, Swellybro,

Does your phone have a menu option that lets you choose to receive delivery reports automatically?

If I remember rightly, Orange charge 5p per delivery report by typing RCT at the beginning of each message (on PAYG anyway last time I used it) I don't know about Genie but I always thought as long as the phone had the option to set delivery reports then they would work as normal. Could be wrong. I know for sure that Nokia 5510, 3210, 3310 and 3330 all have this function and I haven't been charged for them.

I have BT Cellnet, and I use the delivery reports quite often to make sure that my friends are getting my messages, considering that it usually causes a lot of confusion when we don't get each other's messages for some reason.

Yes you do have to type in *0# before each message, but it's not really much of a bother is it? And I don't think that I get charged for it.

Orange no longer charge for this service i think, ive just tried it and it didnt take anything off my balance.

Also depending on the phone, such as Nokia and Samsung, you can select to receive reports automatically.

I haven't used my Orange phone in a while so I wouldn't know for sure, in fact it's probably been disconnected
