The invention relates to a method for providing delivery confirmations of message deliveries made in a telephone network (10). The method comprises the following steps: (a) a subscriber A provides a message addressed to a subscriber B, which message is temporarily stored in a storage device (14) located in the network, (b) an attempt is made for delivering the stored message to subscriber B, and (c) after the delivery attempts, subscriber A is delivered a confirmation of the result of the message delivery. In order that the confirmations can be provided as simply as possible from the subscriber's point of view, and causing a minimum load to the network, the network maintains subscriber-specific information on whether the subscriber has such a message delivery service available that allows delivery of subscriber-specific messages, whereby upon delivering a confirmation, it is possible to route a confirmation addressed to subscriber A to the message delivery service (15) on the basis of the information, if need be.
