Hi,

I can't seem to enable delivery receipts for wap push messages on Vodafone UK. I can get back receipts for SMS on Voda UK and if I change the SIM to o2 or Orange UK I get delivery receipts back on WAP push messages, but can't seem to do it on Voda UK.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Moz,

Unfortunately, delivery receipt support when submitting via a GSM modem is operator specific.

The only things I could think of suggesting if it is not working in this particular scenario are:

1.) Trying a different SIM from the same operator, just to make sure it is not SIM specific (which I doubt)

2.) Try changing the DCS value that is used for WAP Push messages to see if this makes a difference. Edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] header add BinaryDCS=4. (Note: If this doesn't make a difference, then go back and remove this setting. While this setting should work ok, I seem to recall reading info about an old incident where it caused WAP Push messages to be lost when sending via a GSM modem on Vodafone.)
