hai any body
i had problem inserting contact to message (short message service). i just can send contact as message, but how can i insert contact number to message?
thank you
Just go to your sms message center, create a new message.
This is the part you care about, Click on MENU. and add recipient.
This takes you to your contacts, scroll to the contact name and press the left soft key(OK). This will add the recipient's phone number to the Header of your sms and you can begin typing away. Also you can type away 1st, then add recipient, if you want.

This becomes....
I can JUST (or ONLY) SEND contact as a message, how can I insert the contact's number to the message.
I think he's saying he can send the contact's number to a person as a message, but he cannot add the contact's number to the message.
Maybe not, it's kinda hard with this hazy post.

try http://freewareppc.com/ search for insert contact...ive seen it before
is there a way to have the contact list drop down when just typing in their name. I've seen another 6.1 rom on a tmo dash that inserts the name (or gives you the names of you contact list) as you type the first few letters of that name. hope im being clear.. example when i type VI in the recipient TO: line, it would show all contacts who's name has VI in it, such as VINCE, or VIVIAN, etc. it should also work when typing in the first few numbers in a phone number. Thanks. Bill.

Does anyone know how i can enable this?
Ricky's remake doesn't have this option enabled.
Thanks
could someone please tell me how to enable it for this rom?
The program they mentioned is not what i'm looking for.
the thing, im looking for is like smart dailer, for txt message.
thanks
I understand what the guy is saying because I had a similar question a while back. Sometimes I want to insert a phone number and contact name IN the text message. The only way on the Dash to do this is to add the number in the recipient header and then typing it on your own but there is no direct way of doing it. Its weird because on my old RAZR and SLVR I could and here on a WM device I can't. And yes, I also would like to know where I can get the drop down menu list when typing a name in the recipient header. I saw it in a ROM I think it was Ricky and Stylez but Kavana's doesn't have it.
Thanks

When you send an sms to one or multiple persons and try to select them in your contact list, it is impossible to find right persons if they have same last name.
I can’t find a way to just show first and last name and in this order.
I hope I’m doing something wrong because this function can’t bee that poor.
Is there any god sms application out the, I have tried some but no god ones?
How are you using the Xda IIs messaging program to select the To: addressees?
I just type directly into the To: box the first few letters of either the first name or last name of the person. Then you'll get a pop up box with all matching contacts having mobile phone numbers (it'll only pop up when the matches narrows down to less than about 10 contacts).
So if you have many contacts with the same last name, try typing their first names or initials in the To: box.
Or were you trying to use the Contacts search from that Messaging program?

OK thanks sabre23t!
I always tap on "To:" : (

Hi all,
I posted somethinig similar to this a while ago. I am using my Diamond to call VoIP numbers, i.e. call a landline then wait for a few seconds and enter the destination number followed by hash #. The landline number is the same for all destinations and only the second part differs, which is the destination number. The numbers look like:
0123456789, 00447890123456#
Now, if I store two or more such contacts in the address book, e.g.
Bar: 0123456789, 00441234567890#
Foo: 0123456789, 00447890123456#
Joe: 0123456789, 00445678901234#
the, regardless which one I call, say Foo, in the call log it will always list "Bar" as having been called. The same happens if I replace the comma with a "p". The number however is stored correctly, i.e. if I redial it, it will call the number for Foo which is what was dialed in the first place.
It appears as being a bug in WM6.1. I haven't tried WM6.5 (anyone?).
How in the world can I fix this?
Cheers for any help
foo? bar? linux-user? i google your text for translaiting but nothing understanding.
do you mean that the order is not correct?
(if you can give an example with more friendly-understanding/windows-user than you can get earlier response from other forum-users.)
hope, you not so much angry

I understood perfectly. Perhaps it is a english as a second language barrier. I will try to restate the issue. (I wish I knew the answer.)
When you have a extra long number stored to a contact (as you might when you dial a AT&T toll free number with some pauses, then a passcode, then a number.) And you have more than one contact stored with this long number... they all have the same first 10 or so numbers. So regardless of which one was called last, when you look up the call history log, it displays the first one.
It would appear the call history only looks at the first 10 or so digits to find a match.

if this is the case, you can use advanced config or diamond tweak (forgot which one had the option) and from there you can set how many numbers it should check
@misfitflt: Thanks for rephrasing the problem .. I was just about to post. Cheers!

I forgot to mention I already played with the number of trailing digits in AdvConfig (that's what apparently the option is called) ... I tried values from the default 6 to 20 and nothing changed. The buggy behaviour persists.
I recently tried a new dialer with address book application that replaces the TF3D dialer; it is called Inesoft Phone v4.5 (it's actually pretty cool). This one does differentiate between numbers with pauses or commas correctly!
I'll try switching off the dialer completely and use the built-in WM6.1 dialer to see if that works fine. If so then the bug is in TouchFlo (?).
Anyone knows of other good dialer software that I could try?
Cheers,
p.s. I'm surprised this hasn't surfaced until now though ... anyone out there with the same issue? Or maybe I need to give the thread a more appropriate title.
i have the same issue but learnt to live with it as i didnt want to shift to another dialer.
tried playing with the number in adv config but of no avail
lemme know if you find anything
Hi.
I've been experiencing an annoying bug with Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5:
Whenever an incoming call was answered by my mailbox, a text message is send.
This is how it should more or less look like (translated from German):
Code:
From: Mailbox. You have 1 new message. To listen to your messages call 333.
The weird thing is that WM incorrectly matches the number with one of my contacts. I have a contact (let's name him Adam) with a number like +49176000333. Now all these mailbox notifications are incorrectly tagged as coming from Adam and the message reads
Code:
From: Mailbox. You have 1 new message. To listen to your messages call "Adam, h (+4917600033)".
Please notice: Whereas the message says "From Mailbox" (which is simply part of the text message) the actual sender is said to be Adam!
Why does WM incorrectly match this number (it looks as if any number ending with 333 is incorrectly matched)?
I've tried several things:
First, I created a 'Mailbox' contact with the number 333. Unfortunately this didn't do anything.
Second, I've sent myself text messages including different phone numbers, however I've never managed to get the same result as with the provider-messages above. If I merely send a single number like 333, it is displayed as simple text. If I include a '+' sign and the national prefix number +49333, it is displayed as link and if I click on it, a menu pops up "Verify the number is correct:...".
When I use the number of one of my contacts, the matching is done correctly, let's say I have a contact named Briand with the mobile number +491761234567, and I send myself the text message
Code:
call +491761234567
I get the message
Code:
call Brian, m (+491761234567)
However if I add a 'Mailbox' contact with either the number "+49333" or just "333", it doesn't match the name, I simply get
Code:
call +49333
where +49333 is a clickable link.
What I didn't manage to reproduce is the behavior of the provider messages where the contact matching is wrong (333 matching the number +49176000333 and also (and more important) the sender is incorrectly matched!).
This looks like a both annoying and also very serious WM bug, because this could be used to fake text messages!
Windows mobile does by itself (up to WM6 at least) no number-to-name match for incoming SMS in the SMS itself. There is a software called "intruders SMS fix" that may be in your cooked ROM which is doing this.
Mind that the SENDER of the SMS would be (correctly) matched in the address field of the messages list. It is the text inside the message that is treated as above.
If the Sender is correctly matched in the list, you can:
- either press the "green button" in the SMS list to call the sender
- or when the SMS is open (the sender is already highlighted) press enter to access its contacts record
Thanks for your reply.

Well, I'm using 3VO's latest 6.5 ROM and this software is not listed. I had been using Rickywatt's 6.1 ROM before and had exactly the same problem.
Please notice, that it obviously matches 333 to ANY number ending with 333.
Is there any quick and easy way to get the source of a text message? So I could have a look at the provider messages. This problems reminds me of a typical flaw when comparing database entries with a 'LIKE' parameter.
I guess (just a guess), that the matching works like that:
Code:
input: number n from the text message
output: contact from address book
algorithm:
for each contact c in address book:
if c's number ends with n:
return c
return null
The reason for that matching is obviously that the matching should work, even if no country code or regional code is provided with the number.
Mind that the SENDER of the SMS would be (correctly) matched in the address field of the messages list. It is the text inside the message that is treated as above.

It SHOULD be like that, but with the above-mentioned provider messages, the SENDER is also matched incorrectly!
Simple but sad - seems like from WM6.1 onwards WM is doing this match by itself (consistently wrong). Try to search the more general fora at XDA to learn about number to name matching in Windows Mobile. Good luck
help please there is probably an easy answer to this but i can't see it.
in my contacts lets say Mr A has mobile number 111111 and home number 222222
now if i ring him on mobile and get no answer what i have to do is go into view contact and choose an alternative number to call him on ie 222222.
now am pretty sure when i first got my desire if i choose to call Mr A i got an option box pop up asking my which number i'd like to dial.
does this sound familiar to anyone and if so how do i enable it?
also next problem again contact related
using Mr A above once his numbers are entered into his card the oprions to send messages are filled in for me i want to remove the field where it says sent message to home number in this case a land line number
any help appreciated
thanks
I can't really remember getting any of the pop-ups you mention. You have the option to set the primary number in the person card in People. Though it could be sometimes inconvenient, I don't think there is another way.
I find pretty inconvenient when I have unanswered call and want to reply, if that person has multiple numbers, you can't call number other than that you received the call from without entering the person card. It would be convenient if you could swype to change the number, you have arrows shown in the call list anyway.
Since replacing my S7 with an S9, I can no longer tell what number of a contact I am text messaging with. I have several family members and friends/coworkers where I have them as a contact but with both work and home cell phone numbers. There are times when I need to text them on their work phone and times when I need to only text them on their personal cell number. On my S7 I used to be able to see the phone number (or even email address if I was texting an email address for a reminder or something) underneath the contact's name at the top while in that text messaging exchange, but when moving to the S9, it only displays their name at the top. Tapping on the contact name does no good as it just takes me to the contact card for that person and shows me all of their available contact numbers/addresses. Any idea how to clearly/quickly tell which number that text exchange is with (other than by guessing based on the context of the past messages in that exchange?)
This comes in handy for reminders for myself as well. I have several different text strings going with myself to send reminders to my work email, home email, etc. There is no way to easily tell which number or email I am sending a text to unless I'm missing something.
Thanks for any help!
I had to load up Samsung messages to look at that since i used it 2 minutes before i decided i didn't like it. The only way i can see is when you click on the contact's name their number shows with a > besides it. Click on their number and select the number to text. Inside a text i see no way of identifying the number. I see your problem though. My son works in a high security area where he might text me from his business phone but never from his personal phone while there. If he texts me I alway just reply to wherever the txt comes from. So far it's worked but I can see where it may not if he moves from one area to another.
You can tap the phone icon in a text message and it will pull up the dialer and show you which number it is. Like I have my wife's work cell and her personal numbers and I have them designated as mobile and work. Hope that helps.
Probably easier to create a new contact for each number tbh

If I have contacts with multiple numbers, I just designate what each number is like I did with my wife. On the S9, if she texts me from her work phone, it doesn't add to the currently ongoing text conversation I have, it is a new text thread.
