: :?: :?: Hi everybody, I just buy a T Mobile Pocket Pc. So i can not make "Send SMS" directly from "Contact folder". But make "send SMS" from "Phone book folder" is Ok! pls let me know how can i fix this problem? and 1 more problem i want to fix that is i cant not remove " +0" (Inter dial code) from "Internet Setting dial". Ex.: i want only dial 081280 so when i set 081280 in dial box completed. after then i check again but i see "+0 081280". thanks alots for fix my prob.
Hi!
In accord to your first question, I really don't know the difference b/w the contact and the address folders you mentioned, but maybe due to my unit being XDA not the T-Mobile. To your second question, try this step. Go to setting->connections->connections->Dialing Locations->Dialing Patterns, there appears 3 boxes ranging from local to international calls, you can simply put G in all boxes should you prefer not having +0 in any of your calls no matter where....Hope this may be of some help to you....cheers mate :lol:
In Pocket PC 2003, you can go into your address book and click on, "Send SMS to contact"

Hi
I have written in numerous postings now and still has no idea how to work the sms. I am connected to Vodaphone and has received a couple of sms messages with no problem in my inbox. I have checked the network settings and it showed a call centre number which looks ok and certaintly I have received messages indicating that it is ok. However when I tried to send a sms, I could not even compose a SMS message. In the "New" command on the today screen, there is no sms message to select though I have the option of E-mail message there. I tap on a contact and "Send SMS" and there is just no response at all. Wonder if some kind soul could give me a detailed step by step way of sending sms thru the O2 XDA which I got but connected to Vodaphone?
Cheers

Hi
Sorry if you have already tried this.
Just go to new email. then press the the down arrows on the upper right of the screen by the subject box and change the service to SMS
then it will attempt to send sms's instead of emails.
HI
Thanks for reply. I tried tapping on "New" then "Email Message" and it goes straight to Inbox with my 2 sms messages that I had received displayed there. I tapped on the upper right hand down arrow and it showed "Sort by" with 2 options- From "Received date" or "Subject" and no option for SMS. Is this correct ?
Anyway- how does one compose and send email messages?
Cheers
Vic
Click on Inbox, then in the Upper LEFT of the screen you have the option to select ActiveSync (basically e-mail) or SMS. Select the Inbox section of the SMS part. You will then be able to select New from the bottom Left of the screen which will allow you to compaose an SMS. Remeber to click 'Send' and not OK to to send it! :idea:
Hi Matt,
Thanks for reply.
Got as far as the inbox option of SMS; it showed the 2 sms messages which I had received so far and when I click on "New" as instructed, nothing comes out of it.
sms
try pressing the green telephone handset button. press tools, press sms, enter number at the top, enter text, then send, if you click on tools, then choose options you can click for delivery reports.
Thanks for reply.
Pressing "Send SMS" at the phone menu give no response at all.
I seem to think that there must be an activating step for using sms; I have checked the call centre number and all that and everything is fine. Somehow I just could not compose an sms message. Not sure if I should hard boot the whole damn thing to return to factory defaults to see if it reactivates the sms mechanism. One question is will hard booting relock my XDA which I have already unlocked with the XDA manipulator?
Cheers

Hi all,
Just an update to the problem I had no more- a cold boot restored the full functions of the sms service and I still do not know which files were missing or corrupted.
Thanks for all help with answers anyway.
Cheers

On my old Motorola T720 I could receive SMS messages just like the ones I get on my SX56 Pocket PC.
However, when reading an SMS Message that contained a phone number to call, I could simply hit the DIAL (or OFFHOOK key) and it would dial the telephone number found in the body of the SMS Message. If there was more than one telephone number found, it would let me choose which one to dial.
Can this be done on the SX56?
Whenever I try it, it attempts to dial the number that the SMS Message came from (which, in most cases, is from "+8000" ...a 'page' from my office, providing me a clients name and number to call.) INSTEAD of the number found in the body of the message.
Thanks!
Up to my information, it is not included as OS feature. This can be found only on real phones (Nokia, Motorola, ...). Seems that Micrsoft doesn't realize yet that these devices CAN be used as phones!! :?
May be in WM 2006 :wink:
I have a Qtek 2020 with WM2003SE 2.20.07.
When I send one SMS, to someone with a "normal" mobile phone, the person that recieves the SMS can't read it because alway gets one error saying "Unknown Format".
What is is problem?
Can it be fixed?
How?
Thanks
Try going to inbox, choose sms as your account, click tools then options...click accounts then click sms in the large box, you will see the service centre number, below that it says "send sms using unicode...try unchecking this.
How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
I have a very minor issue, but one that I'd like to solve, if possible. Here's the scenario:
My wife calls me from her work line, and the caller number shows her company's general line - (212) 555-1000. If I go into the dialer and dial it back, I get an operator.
However, she does have a direct extension, (212) 555-1010 - both numbers are under her contact (so I can quickly see that it's her calling). If I miss a call from her, I simply remember to go into the contact and choose the direct number instead of the main number.
What I'd like to know is if there is a way to tell Android when I try to dial "main number" under contact "wife," I really mean "direct number."
I doubt there is a way to do this as it's probably a security issue, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Any ideas?

You can use Tasker to create a profile for this situation
Install Tasker
set Tasker as a device admin:
Settings --> Security --> Device administrators --> Tasker
then in tasker create a new profile:
(+) --> Event --> Phone --> Missed Call
when prompted to enter a caller # hit the magnifying glass --> A Single Contact --> Choose the contact number for your wife's "main number"
then click on the back key and ---> New task (add a name to the task - optional)
now add an action to the task:
(+) ---> Phone ---> Call
When prompted to enter a Number to call, hit the magnifying glass and choose your wife's "direct number"
don't select the Auto Dial option. Then hit the back key twice till you are in the main menu of tasker.
Now every time your phone get a missed call from that "main number", you'll be prompted to call back the "direct number" when unlocking phone.
Just delete the main number form your contact. Then the only option to dial is the direct number..
