mBlox's documentation specifies that a field named "registered_delivery" be set to a value greater than zero or null to recieve a delivery report.

How do I add this field to all out going messages? This is different from the standard setting of ReceiptDelivered=Yes, right?

Hi Michael,

mBlox does use the standard setting.

However, the standard setting is ReceiptRequested=Yes. (There is a ReceiptDelivered=Yes setting, but this is a specialised setting used to generate a delivery receipt, not to request one.)

Basically, you can either include "&ReceiptRequested=Yes" in your HTTP URL request ... or to always request a receipt you can edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] header, add ReceiptRequested=Yes.

(Note that the above applies only when you are submitting messages to NowSMS using HTTP. If you are connecting to NowSMS using SMPP, then you would set registered_delivery = 1. By popular demand, we have introduced a new configuration setting to force delivery receipts on for SMPP clients ... see http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/17056.html. None of this necessarily applies to your specific question Michael, I'm just including this extra information for people who come across this posting in future searches.)
