How to stop new email SMS

i had a Cingular 8525 which was bricked in process of upgrading the Radio to 1.38, it had Black 1.1 edition and windows live push email working which sent out notification every time i had new email or text.
My problem is i switched to Nokia 6230; and everytime i receive a new email on my hotmail id, it sends an sms to me.. this sms are eating into my MediaMax 200 Mesg plan (extra sms 0.05 )
Is there anyway i can change setting on 8525 to stop sending me SMS (i can borrow my friends 8525 to make those changes)
i plan to buy a new 8525 somewhere after 1st of April
please help

This is a known problem with messaging with cingular. Check the cingular Forum and you will see the fix.

Basicaly you need to get your orginal phone back and turn it off there to stop the SMS messages.
My wife had the problem and spent 3 days on the phone with Cingular support.

Thanks Jcb..
well after going thru cingular forum looks like the alerts are set in your hotmail account (if you recently have been receiving emails from Hotmail/Live ) about their new services on http://beta.mobile.msn.com
so under hotmail settings there is a tab receive mobile alerts and different options. well there is a bug on that page even if you stop subscribe email alerts on mobile somehow after 2- 3 emails the email notification SMS alerts start again .
so i just saved no alerts and switched back to good old Hotmail so this has nothing to do with Cingular or the other escape route would be to delete the mobile number from Hotmail account and stay with Windows Live .

Problem with Arcsoft MMS

As I've posted elsewhere (in another thread), I keep running into the same problem with Arcsoft MMS. Most of my contacts have multiple e-mail addresses. Regardless of which address I choose to send an e-mail too, it always gets sent to the first address in the contact's list!
So... My question is this: Is there any WM6 variant available which does NOT use Arcsoft MMS?
Thanks!

Duh...
I just realized that even the version of WM5 I'm running uses Arcsoft MMS 3.5! It won't allow me to send e-mails to anything but the primary e-mail address either.
So, I guess I'm asking the wrong question. It appears all WM builds, 5 and 6 alike, use Arcsoft MMS. What allows me to get by is the ability to send an e-mail via SMS.
So... The question then becomes: Are there any WM6 variants that will allow me to send an SMS message to an e-mail address?
Thanks!

Appears to me as though it's an issue with the way Arcsoft integrates with the M$ contact database. Seems to be matching/storing by display name, which has obvious pitfalls...
To date I haven't run across a version of MMS that does it "right".

Is there a cab for 3.5? I bave problems with the 4.0, which s integrated in Shaps 3.0c an my carrier... I can receive mms but I am not able to send...

This my problem with v4.0 ;(

SOLUTION!
Alright, after a little searching and a little guessing, I think I have the solution. To be able to send e-mails via SMS, you need the following registry values in HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings:
[DWORD] AllowSMStoSMTPAddress: 1
[DWORD] AllowSMStoSMTPConcatenation: 1
[STRING] SMStoSMTPShortCode: 121
These values were present in the version of WM5 which I was running. Adding them to Schap's 3.30c allowed me to send e-mails via SMS! Now I can go back to ignoring the problem with Arcsoft MMS and still enjoy WM6.
Cheers!

The "SMStoSMTPShortCode: 121" fixed it for me...Mine said 6245

Problem sending sms from outlook contact

Hi,
I'm having problems sending an SMS from an outlook contact. All my contacts have a number like +31 (010) 1234567. Outlook creates the numbers in that format automaticaly if you fill in country, city/area code and local number. When I synchronize outlook with my HTC P3300 the numbers are in this format. I can call without a problem, internally?? the number is stipped from the brackets and the leading zero in the areacode. When I try to send an SMS it does not work, sms is not send. Some experimenting shows that (010) 1234567 will work, +31 (10) 1234567 will work, but +31 (010) 1234567 will not work when sending an sms, only when making a call. I've searched this forum for a sollution, but there are a lot of messages here so maybe I've overlooked the answer
Does anyone have a sollution for this? Thank you in advance

Issues with recognizing phonebook contact for incoming calls and sms

All my contacts use international number format (+xxxxxxxxxx) and are stored on gmail severs. Unboxed and setup the desire with my gmail, facebook and twitter accounts. Synced well and got all my facebook and gmail contacts. Here's the issues I'm having:
- I live in Lebanon where incoming numbers display 03123456 (03 is the mobile prefix) whereas i have stored them as +9613123456. My desire is not matching the incoming call to the corresponding entry in the phonebook. Never had this problem before on Nokia & BB.
- Incoming SMS seems to be working fine and matching the right contact. However, when I receive an SMS from an unknown short number (any commercial message), the desire matches the sms to a random facebook contact based on some weird recognition algorithm. Worse, if I click on that contact's avatar in the message thread, I get an application error (process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly...)
Any insight would be appreciated. Hoping for an easy fix!

I had the very same problem (commercial messages...) I deleted the contacts that were appearing (didnt use them often...). After deleting the 2nd or 3rd the problem was rectified. Not sure exactly why it was associating those contacts to the messages???
Strange.....

I noticed that these matched accounts had bogus data in their Facebook profile (phone number).
My major concern is the first issue. Anyone having the same problem?

Bump. Anyone?

[Q] Weird Stock SMS app issue, please help.

Hello,
I have a weird issue with the SMS app for my HTC one (M8) as well as my friend's phone!
when I receive a message, the name of the person who sent the message to me does not show up in the sms app, instead the number is shown (basically as if the sender's number is not saved in my address book). however, after about 15-20 minutes the name will be shown.
to note, both of us have our contacts saved in Google, so all the contact addresses are synced with google.
anyone else facing the same issue?
anyone knows a possible solution??
Thanks & regards,
Abdullah

Maybe go into app settings for mms and contacts and delete all data to reset to default. Reboot then resynch contacts.
