SMSConfirmation: Get Push Notifications For SMS Delivery Report On iPhone

Don’t you just hate it when you send a text and forget all about it, only to return back to your iPhone’s Messaging app to find out that message sending failed due to a network error? Even if you don’t hate it, apparently the jailbreak community does, and that’s why SMSConfirmation has been made, which is a Cydia tweak to let you know if your text message was sent or not. The cool part? You don’t have to check the status of the text yourself; the tweak displays a push notification which is impossible to miss.

After you have installed it to your iDevice, the tweak will start displaying push notifications a lot like the one iOS used before iOS 5 (pop-ups). The tweak does not make use of the new Notification Center and banner notifications of iOS 5.
After sending an SMS, you don’t have to wait for the status of the text message to update. You can navigate away from the Messages app to any other area of the device; SMSConfirmation will display a delivery report for your sent message.
There tweak does not have any customizable settings. The only way to disable it is to uninstall it from within Cydia. Being a heavy texter myself, I personally appreciate this tweak a lot. The tweak is available for free at the ModMyi repo in the Cydia store.
