btw did you try checking the [receive SMS delivery reports] in the settings of conversations ?
Sending SMS and recieving message delivery report is two different things

When you send an SMS the case would be the phone sents it successfully to the network. But the delivery report notfies you only if the message you sent was indeed recieved by the number you sms'ed.
On our country the same prefix is needed to get delivery reports but I don't bother at all anyways cause as AgogData said it is sent successfully always anyway. I think it gets a 0.001% chance that the user won't recieve the sms. But who knows? Maybe their provider isn't that optimized yet that on most cases the sms failed to reach it's destination? That's also the case here on uhm... 3 to 4 years ago?
