I am new to this fourm and I searched the board and didnt see the answer. I was told that when I send a text message there is a way for me to receive a confirmation that it is read. is this true if so how do I go about setting that up?

Text message delivery receipts are carrier enabled. Nothing you can do, either they support it and it's enabled or not.

Well, actually, you can turn it on/off under Options >SMS Text. If the option isn't there then your carrier doesn't support it. TMobile does support it so, most likely, you have the option in there. I *think* it charges you for an extra text message to get the delivery report. It's just a small "D" above the checkmark showing the message sent.

Corrected by the teacher...hate it when that happens. I guess that what happens when you turn 40.... ;)

Right! And Juwaack said I don't have to be nice anymore either! So there!

From what I can see, TMoblile does not charge you an additional text message for the delivery report.

I was told that the little "D" appove check mark means that the message has been delievered but thanks for letting me know that means they read it.

It is delivery notification, the option is 'delivery reports.' It's disabled by default on T-Mobile blackberrys (at least the 8120).

i have a tmobil 8120 and even though i don't have the option to set delivery reports, it is still working. i tested it by turning off my other phone and sending a text to it. no "D" on the 8120 until i turned the other phone on and the message came through. i do have the delivery and read options under email, but they are both off.

Just want to clarify that the T-mobile delivery report (check mark with a letter "D") only means the SMS message is DELIVERED successfully. I don't think it means that the receiver has read the message.

I have a related question that I recently sent a SMS message overseas, it had a check mark with letter D, however my receiver told me later on the phone that she did not get my message at all. What could be wrong?

That helped me, thanks!
