French developer François Guillemé, has developed a package called iPhoneDelivery available in cydia.
When you send an SMS, this genius add-on will pop a message on your iPhone notifying that your recipient has received your message. How cool is that? Non-Apple mobile devices already have this integrated and if you have a jailbroken iPhone you can have it too. Just follow these simple instructions to have it installed.
Requirements:
- A jailbroken iPhone 2G/3G/3GS
Step 1 – Installation of iPhoneDelivery package
Open Cyida from your springboard (home screen) then select manage > sources. Press on Edit from the top right hand side then press Add from the top left hand side.
Step 2
You will get a pop up on your screen, type the following: http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia and press on Add Source. Be patient it’s adding the source…
Step 3
Once the source added, you should see the new source. Press Done from the top right hand side.
Step 4
Press on the new added source “Site officiel de iPhoneDeli…“, select the iPhoneDeliviey package and press on Install then Confirm from the top right hand side of the screen to install the package.
Step 5 – Configuration of iPhoneDelivery
from your iPhone springboard go to settings > messages . The last option at the bottom will be Delivery report, select it and choose the desired option for the SMS notification.
How easy was that? Enjoy !
Merci François for your work.

I just installed it and it works great. The installation instructions were really easy to follow. I recommend this little app to any iPhone user.
I have installed this app too, and I agree with Regi above. But I have a problem when I leave sms application active (e.g. when I type sms, or when I read received sms and after that I just lock the phone without previously going to main menu). If I receive a call, sms application stays on the screen and I can’t switch it off, or go back to main menu, nothing. I have to use SBSettings to kill the sms application.
Can this be solved, is it a bug, or I just have to go back to main menu everytime in order to avoid this?
Thanks in advance and anyhow, thanks for great app, it makes life easier now not having to wait for 10 or more seconds for e.g. sms to appear
@Svestislav: I’m glad you liked the application. As for the issue you are experiencing, I tried exactly what you describe below on my iPhone 3G 3.1.2 jailbroken and didn’t have that problem. Are you on the latest firmware? If not, update it and re-jailbreak (instructions are in the tutorial section of my site). Please let me know how it goes.

@Armen: Thank you for your fast reply. I have 2G iPhone 3.0 jailbroken, and I will try with your suggestion, to upgrade to latest firmware. What I actually figured out yesterday (after reading your replay on updating) is that I was running the old version of iPhoneDelivery package. I’ve opend Cydia, upgraded to last version and problem SOLVED!
Now, all I can say is: many thanks for support, fast reply and for this great and very useful package!
All the best wishes,
Svetislav
Guys, after installing is it a must to reboot the device ?
Because if i reboot it , my iphone will be locked and unjailbroke again .
