    It could be 30 days, but the web page you do it on does not mention a limit.

    O2 do not offer delivery reports as standard and will ignore any settings in your phone that switch them on. You can request a delivery report for a specific text by putting *0# as the first three characters of the message, the recipient will not see them.

    You can port in your number at anytime, there is no time limit.

  • If I turn delivery reports on on my phone, I get them with every text. If I turn it off, they turn off. I'm with o2...unusual?
