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 |

They are back this morning (not last night) in Northern NJ. It was shut off the same time as NYC so I'd imagine NYC is back too. I can check later. |

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. |

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. |

said by scots :Wow...I didn't even know such a thing as delivery confirmation existed for SMS... It may be possible, but in the case of this thread, it's only referring to VZW-to-VZW text messages. Since it's "internal", VZW knows if the other handset rec'd the message or not. If a message is sent to a non-VZW phone, they either don't know, can't know, or don't enable the feature.
Look at a *sent* message and see if there's something like "Message info" or "Status" and see if it tells you anything. Send a message to an Alltel customer and one to a non-Alltel customer and see if different info is available. |

Wow...I didn't even know such a thing as delivery confirmation existed for SMS until everyone started raising a stink about it being shut off on Verizon. Is it on by default, or is it something you have to turn on? We used to have Verizon for our mobile service at work, and I don't ever recall receiving a confirmation message any time I sent a text to anyone. Is Verizon the only one that does this? We're now with Alltel, and I've never gotten confirmations on texts with Alltel either. For my personal mobile service I use AT&T, and they've never had anything like this either. |

Mine are still showing, but I definitely do take a look at this and find it very helpful and convenient to know if someone has gotten my message.
I trust that the message will be delivered, but my biggest concern with it is finding out if someones phone is on/off and the message was delivered to them yet.

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! |

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.

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. |

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. |
