SMS acknowledgment messages and the iPhone

I’ve always asked myself why I could not get those acknowledgment messages when sending an SMS on my iPhone… It’s so nice to know that an SMS has gotten through to someone, even if that doesn’t mean they’ve really read the message. And this function seemed not to be available on the iPhone… But, at least with the Voxmobile network, it’s possible!!

Simply add an ! followed by one space before your SMS text message and you’ll get a delivery report as soon as the SMS arrives at your recipient’s phone.

Vox FAQ:

3) Est-ce que je peux recevoir des accusés de réception SMS ?

Oui, par le biais d’une simple astuce vous pouvez recevoir un accusé de réception lors d’un envoi SMS. Il vous suffit d’introduire un point d’exclamation suivi d’un espace ( ! ) avant le texte de votre SMS. La personne qui recevra l’SMS ne verra pas le point d’exclamation.

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
