iPhone - SMS Delivery Reports Vodacom

[fxit_man]

Hi guys

I thought we could get some support here for SMS Delivery reports for the iPhone on the Vodacom network.

Please show you support here and add any comments you wish.

The way which I proposed to Vodacom (vodacom3g) last year October was to, like all the other main cellular network providers in the world, provide us with a code which we type before the SMS e.g. *0# which we add to the beginning of our text message and once the SMS message has been delivered you will get a text message back saying that it has been delivered.

He did reply saying that it has been added to the list of requests, but I haven't heard anything since...

Some reasons I put forward to vodacom3g were:

• I think with the recent launch of the 3G iPhone here, iPhone users would love this! I think with all the iPhone hype and that as well, it gives potential customers one less reason not to get the iPhone! (which could increase iPhone sales etc etc. lol ).
  
• Also... To meet international standards!! All the main carriers overseas (O2, T Mobile , Virgin, even Vodafone who I understand partly owns Vodacom ) have this. Surely we (Vodacom) want to compete with these main carriers and live up to international standards ?
  
• Another reason is for customers with phones (not just iPhones) that don't support the SMS Delivery Report feature and that want to make use of it! It makes another happy Vodacom Customer

MTN even has one... rrr is reported to be working on MTN as a Delivery Report code.. Type it at the beginning of your message

Why can't us Vodacom users have one ?

Lets get this done guys!

Yeah, but they charge for delivery reports, so they're more motivated to let you spend more money.

Something tells me the guys from voda ain't doing squat about this, we gotta all ban together and piss them off to the point that will get it working just to shut us up.

I have heard this many times....but it's simply not true. Who do they charge?

I have not been charged for a single delivery report.

What is the charge for a delivery receipt on all of the price plans?
A: If you request a delivery receipt, it will cost you the same as sending an SMS.

Bad english? Maybe what they mean is that whether you request one or not, it will cost the same as sending a SMS. i.e. free

Seriously annoying. I called Vodacom 3 times already trying to find out but you can imagine how lucky I was...

I do remember I passed it on and there was some story around it. Let me ask again.
