WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

Broadband Reports notes on its website that their forum members report that Verizon Wireless customers are no longer receiving a delivery confirmation notice after sending SMS messages.

 A Verizon Wireless customer service representative has reportedly confirmed that Verizon did stop that service earlier this month saying: "We consider the benefits to network capacity and optimization outweigh the service's continuation."

Customers are frustrated,  because now they don't know for sure whether or not the text messages that they sent were received.

The price of SMS messages has increased significantly.
