Go to options/SMS or options/MMS to set the reports to ON.

On another note one thing I hate about my blackberry is when a messege doesn't go though. On my old cells if I sent an sms but it didnt get sent due to low signal or w/e, it would first of all make a noise, so that I know it didnt work... and then it would attempt ot resend it every few seconds until it went though. The berry doesnt do any of this and I look like an idiot sometimes because I send a messege then an hour later realize it didn't send since it didn't warn me or didn't try to resend the messege. Any way to fix this ?

If I don't have a signal on my BB when I try to send a message, a clock icon appears next to it. As soon as the BB finds a signal again, the message gets sent. Looks like you might have a problem with your BB if it's not automatically sending messages as soon as it connects to the network.
