Thanks, yer I think this basically means that it
has gone from your phone to vodaphone, but you have no guarantee (although most
likely) that it has gone on to the other person. I remember a company that
transported people from auckland to the Mt, and they used to have a head office
that would sms the driver. They would do door to door, but they had to also
phone up after the sms because some times the sms would either arrive late
because he was out of coverage or not at all on rare occasions. This meant that
the customer was left standing at the door.
There is a NZ crowd that run an sms server as such,
I can't remember their name, but because they programmed the mechanism, they are
able to report when the message has gone on to be received by the end person in
the chain. In cases like the above, you would be able to realise that there has
been a delay so therefore try to contact either him in another way or the
customer.
Thanks for the link,
Matt.

The phone does respond with "Message Successfully Sent" and the code
fires an event, but not sure wether this means its entered the ether
successfully, enter the vodaphone network successfully, or actually arrived
ok.
