WM 6.5
Is it possible to send a contact via sms/BT as plain text without having to enter the "EDIT CONTACT" menu COPY the number and then PASTE it in the sms body? Is there an app for this?
I have friends with older devices that wouldn't recognize the the vcard format.
EDIT: I found an app called Send Contact that does the trick:

I installed it on the SD card. You can choose what details to send and the program creates a plain text message containing the detail picked. Does not reside in memory and can be launched only in cases when you need to send the contact as plain text.

When I want to write a new SMS, and click on the contact list button to select a number, I only get all the contacts stored in the xda's memory, and not from the SIM. What am I doing wrong?
The xda doesn't access anything from the sim directly....only uses the sim manager program. Copy the entries to the main phone book to use them as described.
Since WM2003 it's great not having to use the sms name fix programs to make names from Outlook appear on incoming texts.
However, it's still the case that if you click on someone's name in Contact and select Send SMS, it just puts the number in the To box, rather than the name and / or number.
If you reply to someone who has already sent you a text through the context menu whilst reading the message, it DOES put the name of the other person in.
Is anyone aware of any programs etc that will make the xda work in this way? It can't be that the name would cause a problem as it works perfectly fine when you reply to existing sms's with it in.
I'd appreciate any comments on this.
Cheers

Instead of selecting the contact and creating the SMS message, create a new message and start typing the name of the contact. A pop up box appears with contact names in and when you select the contact their name is entered in the TO line.
Just goes to show you don't get anywhere if you don't ask huh?
I should have thought Pocket Outlook would work the same as normal Outlook, but just always did contacts > name > send SMS. Now it's just New > Message and type in the name.
Cheers for that!

PS - this forum is great
Is there any kind of tweak of program to allow sending of multiple text messages? The only way I know of to do that now is to open up a new text, touch "To," touch a contact; then the screen reverts back to the new text message with one contact added, and you have to repeat that process for however many contact you want to include. I would like a way to select several contacts from the phoneboon first, and then get to the new message screen. I know that you can select multiple contacts at once, but there is no option to send a new text message to them all at once.
sending a text to multiple contacts
each txt message is like an email, you can simply put a semi-colon ( ; ) after the first contact in the "TO" field of the message. after the semi-colon put a space & the next contact etc etc..
you can also choose menu > add recipients once you create the message. thats kind of what your wanting.
i remember an app called PowerSMS that dealt with "groups" of contacts but it wasn't freeware. you may check into the app & see if it suits your needs
Have you tried...
Select new.
Pick SMS/MMS/Flix/Pix/whatever.
Cursor should now be in the "To" field.
Start typing the name of the contact you want to use.
Name should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the name to insert it in the "To" field.
Repeat for additional names!
Works for my Verizon TP

You could try Moblmsg (freeware). it doesnt store your texts in the standard way but allows you to define and save groups and send texts to them.
I use SKB Group SMS, works great and sends your multiple text in secs....

I know this is probably a stupid question but just wanted to clear it up in my mind:
the reason I CAN NOT reply to all in a text is because the text that is coming to me (SPCS is my carrier) only sees the sender not the sender's distribution list correct?
Hi,
I'm using an HD2 with 3.14.707.3 ROM. I can copy text from a document file on my storage card, but when I try to paste it in a new email message body, the paste option is greyed out.
Just for info, I composed a message on Gmail in the phone's web browser and I could paste the copied text just fine. However, paste doesn't work (whether copied from txt or doc formats) when I compose new mail from the HD2's email client.
I could do this easily on my TyTN II.
Request your help.
