If you send a text to somebodys mobile, is there a way to find out that the text has been opened by them?

I dont mean that is has been 'received' but that it has been opened/read?

So when you text them, and the open/read it, you can KNOW that they have read it

kinda a receipt/spy receipt lol


phone = nokia c1-01

or is this feature only on certain phoneS? if so, what phones/models can do this, on their settings ? (a Pay as you go one),

can your phone do it?

    I think the most you can find out is that the text was delivered. Normally networks charge extra for the delivery reports.
    It's normally on/off option in general settings for text messages.
  • I've only seen that you can see if the recipient has read the message on certain apps such as What's App and iMessage, not for text messages.

    Nokia trailed a system some years back that did want you want (and a lot more). But the networks wouldn't supported due to privacy concerns, so they canned it...

    I suppose privacy would be a concern
