Mobilink Brings Back (Paid) SMS Delivery Reports

But then, reportedly, one fine day all operators collectively decided to take down this free value added service and to charge customers for SMS Delivery Reports.

Just in case if you don’t know, SMS delivery reports confirm you the recipient of SMS to receiver.
