Why isn't my phone letting me know if my text message has been sent?

[Windows Central Question]

Sending text message

Nokia Lumia 630 When I send a text message there is nothing to say it has been sent. The mobile before this said "Sent" so I knew it had been.

If it's not faded, it's been sent.
If it hasn't you'll notice what you've typed is faded and on your messaging icon on the start screen it shows an unhappy face.

Once you hit send, the message will appear in the list of messages to and from the recipient, like a conversation. If the message would not send for some reason, it will let you know. Otherwise, always assume the message was sent.

And if you still want this got to SETTINGS and under APPLICATIONS go to MESSAGING there you can enable SMS DELIVERY CONFORMATION

Also, if the message delivery fails, the messaging tile will have a sad face smiley on it.
