It doesn't have that functionality built in, but most networks can provide a
delivery report if the message is prefixed with certain characters.

Which network are you on?

Just before you send an sms, the last choice right at the bottom of the
screen is the question whether or not you want to receive a delivery report.
If you choose "Yes" a delivery report will be sent. This is a pain, because
Nokias can be set to send delivery reports by default!

I stand corrected, but I think MTN (in South Africa) actually charges its
customers for sending these delivery reports. So maybe this is a useful
feature for those who don't want to be charged!
