Another good reason for avoiding them then.

Nope, but totally unnecessary with the other networks. I just send a
text and get a nice proper report (not just a text back with useless
garbage in it).

Can't say I've heard of this bug. When I first got my 7650 years ago,
sometimes the reports would still say 'pending' - When they'd delivered. But
since then, my 6630, 7610, and current 6680 have been faultless. Sony
Ericsson's idea sounds good, but for me, having then in a separate folder,
out the way of all the other messages is ideal. You don't need to delete
then either, as it always only saves the last 20 sent.

Just hope Vodafone don't got down 0-range's route, and start charging for
them!

Excellent. I'll just keep using my Just Talk SIM card for my 5 a day
free Out Here texts with the message receipt option selected.

Until, that is, Orange decide to 'simplify' the expression 'for life'.
