iPhone SMS Delivery Reports

One *feature* I miss on the iPhone as compared to virtually any other phone is the SMS delivery reports. I find this a very useful feature whenever I send an SMS.

However, if you have already jailbr0ken your iPhone, then you can use this method, and I must say, it works quite well. I am going to list it down again in any case, you never know when a webpage goes unavailable.

  1. Open Cydia>Manage>Sources>Edit>Add, and add
    http://iphonedelivery.advinux.fr/cydia
  2. After it is done verifying the URL, you can click on the source and look for iPhoneDelivery and install it. It will ask for a reboot of the phone once installed.
  3. Once rebooted, go over to Settings>Messages and you should be able to see the option to enable Delivery Reports, and how you want them.
I find this extremely useful and would like to thank the user who posted this. Did I mention that this works across carriers, unlike many others which have a list of supported carriers.

Please leave a comment if this helped you.
