The Treo 650 handles text messages brilliantly by grouping them into AIM like messages. I would love to find an application that will do that on the Pocket PC. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
I've been meaning to ask about this since getting my MDA Compact a while back - I used to have a Treo600 and the SMS messages were "threaded" much like your email might be in your email client. It was great and made it easy to store lots of messages - I know I could use folders but it's not the same.
I am a new PPC phone user. can't find the way to send sms message on wm5.0? do i need any add-on to let my ppc has sms function???
Thanks
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 .
Hi
Im on winmo 6.1 and i was wondering if we can set contact groups.
Example when i send mass text i have to constantly build the list, and i know on the iphone it keeps the list so you can easily next time just type the text message instead of rebuilding the contact group
any ideas??
If i had to guess. Make a new contact just for SMS and MMS sending.
Add the phone numbers or contacts in that contact seperating the numbers with a ; and a space.
This is something that used to be in Windows Mobile 2003, but was removed around WM5. Categories, filters, etc. seem to be there, but they don't work for much, if anything. I have yet to find a way to edit categories, make new ones, or assign them to contacts on the phone under WM6.1.
A few posts were made in other forums on here about pocketPC apps that do the job. I don't know of one for a smartphone. It's all a jumble in my memory, but one of those apps that lets you assign different ringtones to individual contacts and groups of contacts has the feature for SMS as well, I think. Try a search and see what happens.
I have searched far and wide as well
what Mikey says is pretty much gospel. So far, there is no other way to do this other than create a HUGE contact with all of the numbers you want added to it. Then, you just sms that contact you created. No other ways are possible, YET. Mikey RULES!

Yes, Mikey has a decent kludge to get around WM's limitations. The weird question is why the limitation was added in WM5? For all the plusses, it sucks that a phone of this calibre can't do something a $15 Nokia can.
i tried making a contact with "number; number" format and it didn't work. I get this error
Cannot send to e-mail recipients from the Text Message account.
any ideas how this can be possible?
are you placing email address' or phone numbers in the "SMS contacts?
phone numbers
all im doing is making a new contact
and in the phone number field just typying in phone numbers ie. 1234567899; 1234567899; 1234567899
when i select it to send a message to it shows NameofContact<12345667899; 1234567899; 1234567899>
then i get an error when i try to send

As a text message or Email?
....as a text
any ideas?
guess its impossible
I used to be able to get my email from Outlook, then click on Inbox, and flip over to text messages. Now text messages are no longer there.
Any idea how to get them back in Outlook?
Thanks
As far as I remember someone saying that text msgs and outlook have been seperated in the new Roms. I could be wrong, but I think it has been done by design this time.
