I am pasting the question from another forum which interests me as well…


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi all,

when sending sms and you set the setting for ask for delivery notice on you get back the delivery notice but it will only show you the number not the Name.

This is very annoying when you are sending sms to many contacts.

Is there a work around that?. I contacted the poor online support of Imate and one "not-so-tactful" support lady said "this is what it suppose to do" and they cut me off even before asking my next question to them.

what a shame i-mate has such a poor online support."

Unfortunately I don't think there is. The delivery report comes back from the networks servers with the persons mobile number only. The contact name for that number is stored locally on your phone handset only. What you need is a program that can scan received delivery reports, pull out the number and match it to your contacts database. Far too long winded.

Such a function would probably only benefit someone sending one sms to multiple contacts, then waiting to see who actually received it, so probably not considered by any software developers. :(

never the less, it is still a shortcoming of the Windows Mobile software, as all nokia phones old and new (even the ancient 8210), and sony ericsson phones can do this!
