Nokia 1100 - help required

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

I am a complete beginner with 'modern' mobile phones and I have just
purchased a Nokia 1100 phone connected to the O2 network in the UK.
After sending a text message I get the 'sent' confirmation but I understand
I should also be able to get a delivery report as to whether the message has
reached its destination phone.
I have gone into message settings - common settings and set the delivery
report to 'yes' but I still don't get confirmation of delivery. Should I be
setting another option or is this service only available from certain
providers.
Also whilst in common settings what does 'reply via same centre' mean and
should it be set to yes or no.

Any help appreciated

Paul

Also what does a delivery report look like - is it just a symbol or a text
message, do you have to stay in message setting or will it appear in standby
mode?
