Does Sideline have the ability to enable read receipts?

Sideline does not offer a "read receipt" option. A read receipt shows the sender when the recipient has opened the message.  

Why?

This functionality is only supported by on-net (on-network) communications. Read receipts would be supported if you're communicating from your Sideline number to another Sideline number (or our Pinger iOS or TextFree app.)

Other examples of on-net messaging would be WhatsApp or iMessage. WhatsApp and iMessage have read receipts and shows when a person is typing because you’re communicating with your contact "on-net" who is also on WhatsApp or iMessage.
