Comment on Why do phones come with SMS delivery reports turned off by default?

Even though many phone plans today have unlimited texts, some still don’t. A delivery report is basically a second SMS, that you then have to pay for, so I think that is why it is an opt-in feature.

Yeah, but it’s an incoming SMS? Are there still any tariffs with paid incoming messages (possibly except when roaming)?

Back in the day, I paid for every single received text, network provided or not. If some asshat decided to mass text me, it could easily run my phone bill up real fast.
