I'm also on Orange at the moment and use delivery report confirmation, but they don't charge me for this. Is it just 3 that charges this?”
This is what I was talking about it was delivery reports not read receipts -
"Customer service from 3 so far (I was a bit concerned about this because of what I've read on here):
I seemed to be getting charged more than 2p for texts, so phoned them - free to call & got through in a couple of mins.
The chap on the phone told me they charge 1p for text delivery reports - slightly sneaky, but it's still only 3p per text & I can turn them off when I don't want or need them. So that accounted for the extra charges.
THEN - he said "because you didn't know, & because you're a new customer, & I want to make you happy (:smileyvery-happy: ), I've just added an extra £5 credit to your account"."
