Three charging for delivery reports

Options
Just a quick warning from June the three network are charging 1p for every text message delivery report you receive. I know its only a penny but if you have the option as a default it soon adds up!

    I've never understood what a delivery report is.

    If you send a text, you have no way of knowing if the person that you sent it to has actually received it.
    If they are not getting a signal or their phone is turned off, they obviously won't get the text message but you won't know this and will probably assume that they got it.

    If you have opted for delivery reports, you will get these as soon as the message was received (in the case above, either when the recipient comes in range of asignal, or turns their phone on).

    That would just freak me out! If they didn't reply but I got a delivery receipt, I'd assume they were ignoring me :D
