Is there any way you can set your line so that people who text me never get reports? I consider it an invasion of privacy.”
I sort of agree, the thing is all a delivery report does is confirm that your text arrived on the phone, it doesn't confirm that the person read it. I personally don't bother with reports simply because it's a ballache to get getting texts every time you send one. I send texts quite a bit and i don't really need to know they got there (99.99% do don't they?) and if I need to speak to someone urgenty i'd phone them of course.
And as far as I know there's no way of preventing the person sending the message from knowing it arrived via a delivery report, but a call to your provider could answer that one.
