Which providers charge for SMS delivery receipt?

EugeneB

Currently I have a contract with 3, but considering changing it to some other provider.

I hate the way 3 charges you for SMS delivery receipts, could you please share whether you provider does the same?

Let me keep a summary:

• ASDA Mobile - FREE
• EE - 1.7 p
• giffgaff - FREE BUT DIFFICULT*
• O2 - FREE BUT DIFFICULT*
• Orange - 1.7 p
• Talkmobile - FREE
• Tesco Mobile - FREE BUT DIFFICULT*
• Three - 1 p
• T-Mobile - FREE
• Virgin - FREE
• Vodafone - FREE

* You can't configure to receive delivery receipt messages automatically but rather have to prefix each text with special code

I could be wrong..but I think that all the main suppliers do now.
Orange/TMob do, as does O2...
and thinking back when I had a VF contract...I'm pretty sure that they charged too.

It looks like GiffGaff doesn't charge for delivery receipts...

I've had contracts with Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Talkmobile. Only Orange have ever charged for delivery reports (so with them I switch that option off on the phone I'm using). If that's changed, it must be VERY recent.

If it helps:
ASDA = FREE

Only Three and Orange (Pay Monthly only) charge 1p for delivery reports. All other networks (T-Mobile, EE, O2, Tesco, Asda, Vodafone, Orange PAYG, Virgin etc) do not charge.

You might want to correct the OP, no-one charges 0.01p (or did you mean £0.01?).

Orange do, Tmobile and EE 4G contracts don't.
