I thought Orange had delivery reports by default, only O2 didn't and still
doesn't offer delivery reports which in this day and age is unbelievable!

Probably because they haven't upgraded their wibbly wobbly
SMSC since 1998. One of the reasons I left them, I just find
it handy to know when a message has been delivered, especially
when someone turns their phone back on etc.

I did some tests a while back, it depended on which centre one used
for SMS. I think it was +447973100979 had stopped working (it
certainly does not work now), but +447973100973 still did.
It was, however, then possible just to turn delivery reports on.
(For Orange Out Here it is necessary to use ...979 for free SMS.)
It is only the 'animal' tariffs that charge for delivery reports.

On the animal tariffs they charge 1p per receipt.

Just switch it on in the handset menus.

RCT stopped working for me many months ago although if you set your phone up
for delivery reports in the messages menu that still works. If you're on
contract you get charged 1p per delivery report but they are still free on

FWIW, they're free on Orange's Virgin OVP.

Yup, confirmed free for me too on Virgin OVP here too. As Jon says, just
enabled in the handset menu's.
