| [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation Starting on Thurs, I'm no longer seeing delivery confirmations on any SMS text messages I send to other Verizon subs. I've confirmed this isn't an issue with my account as someone else actually pointed this out which is what caused me to look.
Looking at my history, the last one I sent that shows a delivery confirmation was 11:04pm ET on Wed 9/17. The next one I sent after that which doesn't show a delivery confirmation was 9:21am ET on Thurs 9/18. All sent messages after that don't show any delivery confirmation.
Any one noticing this? Is it a local (NYC, Northern NJ) issue? Was there some outage/announcement I missed?

Waldwick, NJ | Re: [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation The SMS delivery issue I mentioned is not just on Blackberry devices. The same for non-Blackberry devices.
Would be nice if anyone said they are seeing them still or not seeing them when they used to. | |

| From reading other forums, it seems VZ is discontinuing this and all areas will be shutdown by the end of the month.
Stinks since I won't now be able to tell if the message was at least delivered to my wife or kids phone. Still wasn't able to tell if they viewed it, but at least I would know if their phone was on and received the message.
Going to mean more phone calls need to be made if I don't get a response when I text.

Waldwick, NJ | Re: [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation In the other forums the speculation is the reduction in their network traffic that will occur by eliminating it. With what we all pay, you think they could put the $$ into supporting what we're paying for. | |

| Re: [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation I wonder how many extra "Hey, did you get my text?" messages will replace the delivery notification? Or the actual voice call that needs to take place (no charge to the customer) vs a quick text? Maybe it won't save anything.
Today I also just received 1 of my 2 Verizon wireless bills. There's no notification whatsoever in it. The customer service rep I chatted with online this morning indicated that since 9/9, people have begun being notified. I know I haven't received any such notification.

| Is this really even an event? Do people actually look at that confirmation? I have been an avid texter for years without checking for confirmation. I has never worked for of network deliveries and they always show up. This is a silly thing to worry about. If big red can save 58 million by doing this god bless them for trying to cut costs so that they have more money to pay for network improvement, new service development and other things that people might actually use. | |

Do people actually look at that confirmation? Yes, I do, I check it alot because some places smsing gets a faster message to a coworker than email, and time may be important. 15 minutes can be a huge difference, and if theres no confidence in the message having reached them, it makes it hard to judge what I should be using to get that message to them.
And for those that say "just call them", there are places and environments that making a call can be impractical or dangerous where smsing wouldnt be as much so. | |

| Verizon will be giving us back our checks by first of the month. My check mark confirmation ended on friday, as well as all of my friends. I spoke to a verizon rep thru verizonwireless.com and he said they have received so many complains that they will be returning the checks by the first of October. | |

Don't believe that for all the tea in China.
Those reps will say anything to get you off the phone. The confirmations are gone....a thing of the past. | |

@comcast.net | Re: [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation That's not necessarily true. I've heard numerous people say they've spoken with verizon reps and they've all been told that it will be back on October first due to so many complaints. | |

| I am having the same issue - as of late last week I am not seeing a delivered message (check mark) on texts that in fact were delivered to other Verizon users (I know they were delivered because I received replies). However, I am still getting delivered check marks for some people...very annoying! | |

| Re: [Verizon] Missing SMS delivery confirmation Yes. It's not like a read receipt on email where you get an entirely new message in return, but at least with the phones I've used it somehow indicates it on the message you sent - whether it be a different icon, or it may explicitly say Sent 12:00:01 Delivered 12:00:13...something like that.
I guess it's subtle, if you don't know its there. | |

@optonline.net | As of today VZW appears to have reinstated delivery confirmation, I work for an indirect agent and had a lot of angry people come in thinking texts weren't working, i told them to call cust. svc. and complain, i guess they weren't the only ones | |
