How you can read delivery reports in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway

Introduction

If you sent out an SMS message from a mobile device or an application, Ozeki NG SMS Gateway will forward it to the mobile network either with GSM modem connection or IP SMS connection. In the first case, there is one or more GSM modem attached to the PC with a datacable. IP SMS connection means that the SMS gateway connects directly to the SMS center (SMSC) of the mobile service provider over the Internet.

Delivery reports are messages that show the exact status of your sent messages. In this way you can receive delivery reports when the message arrives at the SMSC (SMS center of a mobile service provider). This is called "Delivered to network" status. Or there is a "Delivered to handset" report when the message is received on the mobile device of the recipient. This guide provides instructions on how you can enable the function that allows you to read delivery reports about the fact that your sent message has been forwarded to the mobile phone of the recipient.
