I have an 8700C purchased from Amazon and unlocked for use on T-Mobile. It does have the "Delivery Reports" option under Options->SMS

Wow, so I guess the unlock process also 'unlocks' the SMS delivery reports option. Does everyone with an unlocked 8700 have this option?

I have an unlocked 8700c on T-Mo (it must be unlocked to be used on T-Mo), latest Cingular software (as it is a Cingular phone) and as I said above, I do NOT have the delivery receipts option. |

Wiseass and mas90guru, it appears that the option is available but may not work. Have either of you tried turning this option on?

Strange, I remember having this option on my 7100T, forgot all about it on my 8700c (i don't have the option either!).
By the way, can anyone send SMS mesages in NYC? I'm in midtown and haven't been able tos end a SMS all day, message says "Network out of order".

Its the SIM - I just tested out a few of mine and they all had delivery reports in the menu until they had the sim in and connected to the network... than the option was gone - right after the browsers came up. Take the SIM out, and the option is back.
Im using a 3040 series rogers SIM and software on all three (7100,7290,8700) was CSL 4.1 OS. They all behaved the exact same way - they did not do that with the Rogers OS.

Update! I got it to work.
With the SIM card out, go to options --> SMS
There should be the option for delivery reports, change it to YES
Next, enter your SMS Service Center # - it will be blank (to get it look at the option with the SIM in)
Save, insert SIM, and test - I did this and now get a 'D' over the check on my sent SMS messages!

I just tried it and was unable to 'Save' the service center # with the sim out. I could choose the 'Save' option, but when I went to 'Close' it prompted again. When I closed it and reopened the SMS options, the service center # was not there.... Thoughts?

I followed the instructions - and ran into the same thing JordanA did. You cannot save from the SMS Options menu, however it WILL save the Delivery Reports = ON. The number does not get stored.
However, when reinserting the card, SMS messages do NOT have delivery reports. Just rechecked the Delivery Reports option by taking out SMS card again, and the Delivery reports still = On.
Maybe this doesn't work with Cingular.

I had the same issue but after I hit save, I just pulled out the battery then reinserted SIM and tried sending an sms to a friend of mine and within a few seconds, got a "D" above the check mark on the message I sent...just like a PIN message delivery confirmation. BTW, under the Mail/Messages application general options, I have HIDE SENT MESSAGES set to "No".

Wangta01, those were my thoughts... Was anyone been able to get this to work with Cingular?

Excellent try, but it doesn't seem to be working on Cingular. Has there been any news on when a new OS version will be released?

No luck on Cingular
I've tried the 8700c trick (orange 64k SIM) with no luck. I also have a v551 with Cingular, orange 64k SIM too, and that phone won't get any delivery reports back either. I think Cingular just won't honor them.
Maybe someone out there has a good engineering contact at Cingular who can shed some light on the whole thing. They're not perfect, but with inter-carrier SMS in the US being flakey (not to call anyone out in particular), it's nice to know if something arrived or if it just vanished.
