I'm just surprised people aren't fed up with how shit SMS (well, MMS, but I never want to hear about that again) is for anything other than text. It was always a fucking pain and just plain shit even if it weren't.
Really? Sent but not received, I guess? It seems like near any other method has things to show that you've sent it, that the server has received it, that the other user(s) received it, that they read it...
And images are... Well, very limited indeed. And costly, if we're talking MMS!
To me, it's definitely not the best choice - but I'm not in the states.
Read receipts are just a way to incite social strife.
You can usually turn those off. Not sure if you can turn them off for SMS, I remember text messages having those
Farthest I've seen regular text messages go is received receipts. And that depends on the provider, some of them only return up to "sent".
