Help Text Read Notification?

A couple of my old phones had a text read notification - I would get a little check mark on the message and get a little pop up. This was only for others that had Verizon. I was wondering if there's any way I could get that with the S5. I got a "delivery conformation" which is NOT the same thing and really annoying.
 
That depends on the texting app you use. Texting itself doesn't allow for any notification at all. Some apps (if the person at the other end is using the same app) notify you that the text was sent, some notify you that it was delivered and some notify you that it was opened. Texting itself, though, is blind. You throw the bottle into the sea and never know if anyone finds it.

I was referring specifically to messaging - regular texting. I know FB messaging you can see "seen" which is nice. Texting on my Nexus would let me know when the text I sent was viewed or received, which was nice. But only for other Verizon users. I guess there's no option for this phone. Not a deal breaker for me though....
