Default BB 8830. Cannot find and turn off SMS delivery notifications??

Please Login to Remove!

Hello,

Could someone please advise a suggestion for the following problem with my BB.

Here are the details:

The phone is BB 8830 which was a Verizon phone used in USA, I now use it in Italy with the service provider called Vodafone Italia.

The problem is that I am not able to turn off 'delivery notifications for text messages'. The result is that I receive a text message (the notification) each time I sent a text. The BB help on the phone says that there is setting to turn of the notifications under OPTIONS > SMS > DELIVERY REPORT. But this setting (ie DELIVERY REPORT) is not there in the OPTIONS > SMS on my phone so it is not possible to turn off notifications as per the BB help?

The help on my phone also says that 'depending on your wireless service provider this option might not appear'

This is what I have done:
1. I have spoken to Vodafone Italia about this and they are say that they do not control the notification setting and that the control is somewhere in the phone.
2. I have searched in other areas in the phone settings for this particular setting and have not discovered anything
3. I have done a hard reset on the phone but that did nothing
4. Searched posts in this forum for a lead but found nothing

Last year I did not experience this problem when I used Vodafone Italia as the service provider.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Robert

The 8830 can be set to silence various sounds.
the list below is a copy from the 8830 manual and unless your OS is non standard should help in setting a sound profile to silence the text messages or from a specific user.
If your trying to silence only one type of text message communications it may be impossible. Other than setting specific users up it is normally an all or nothing.



Manual excerpt

Dear Tsac,

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate that.

I am working through your your suggestion. The notification that I am receiving (which I what I want to stop) is an SMS. Each time I send an SMS , the notification process configured in the phone sends me a SMS saying that I just sent a SMS message. So the problem is about SMS messages / notifications as opposed to ring tones or volume.

I will work through what you have sent me.

Thank you.

Regards

Robert

SMS acknowledgment,
I cannot find any process that does that in the USA, It is something the carriers are doing in Europe. Based on the info on the internet, Vodaphone does offer this service. You might see if it's an option the carrier can turn off. Not sure what it is called for the BB phone but the IPhone calls it Imessage.,

Dear Tsac

Thank you for the reply.

I will go into the big Vodafone store in Rome and question them on this and take various documents that I have put together so I can clearly explain the scenario to them. I will update you on the outcome of the visit. Thank you again.

Regard

Robert
