I cracked my screen and am waiting to get my new excalibur in a few days, but until that time is there a way for me to send sms messages through my computer?? I know that I can read them using programs like my mobiler but I don't know of a program that lets me send them. Anyone have a solution?

Hello everyone, im a long time reader but i havent really posted much. I used to own the Tmobile MDA and i recently got rid of it. Now i have the Tmobile Dash and i have a few questions and issues with it im hoping you can help me on.
When i plug my phone in thru USB, like at work and home, i dont recieve any MMS messages...why is that? I have my phone settings according to Tmobiles website for MMS.
Last question, is it possible to send SMS messages thru my PC while my phone is plugged in thru USB? Not too much of a problem, but it would be nice to use my full sized KB and not the Dash one. Maybe a 3rd party app?
Thanks!
For sending SMS from your computer you should just use this free program.

It doesn't require your dash and its "free"

Also, if you connect to aol instant messenger you can just send a message to the person's phone number and not worry about carrier, etc. i.e. if the phone number is 415-555-1212 just send an aim msg to +14155551212 . The recipient can also reply back just like any other text message.... Yay and woo.
Hi all
I have come across the problem that I can't send SMS larger than 160 chars after I upgraded to the "official" WM6. I am using the Swedish version on a HTC TyTN. When I try and send a message that is larger than the 160 chars i get a message saying (loosely translated from Swedish) Can't send SMS. After I click ok I also get notification on the bottom left part of the sms window saying synchronization error.
Has anyone else got the same problem and if so have anyone found a solution.
/Nicklas
Just to clarify...
I take it to mean that you could sent sms that were over 160 characters before you upgraded?
Because most of the providers that I know don't allow that.
Found something on the forums about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293505
Hope it helps.
Yes I could since the SMS program automatically sends the large SMS in smaller parts.
Say I make an SMS with 203 chars then it would send it as 2 sms, one with the first 160 chars and then a second sms with 43 chars and when the SMS arrive to the recieving phone it will be put together if that phone is capable of that. Now days I think all phones can do this. Or at least should be able to do this but after the upgrade to WM6 this fails on my TyTN.
i guess the previous version of the SMS application was allowing what is called multiparts message, meaning it send as many SMS of 160 car regarding your text lengh but with no guarantee that the reviever will have them in the proper order
usually SMS is limited to 160 car
larsuck: Thanx for the link but nothing in that helped.
So if anyone else have any idea I would much appreciate it because it is a bit frustrating that it worked with wm5 and not with wm6 so far
Have you tried to take a look at DiStefano's Cab Collection? There is an Palm SMS application. You can try it with this application if it is possible on you're device. Its a small test!
Good luck
Well I found out how to fix it.
I did this:
Once upgraded settings need to be changed to ensure desired operation, on the device go to start>settings>connections(tab)>USB to PC, untick the box (Enable advanced network functionality) then exit back to the today screen.

??? Why would this have an effect on SMS limitations?
I don't know exactly why but what I did was that I hard reseted the unit and after that multipart sms worked as it should. Then I connected the usb cable and ActivSync wanted to reconfigure the settings so I went through the wizard. One of the questions I get is if I want to let internet calls and mms to be sent when the unit is connected and I choose that. Then I let the unit sync with my PC.
After that I couldn't send multipart sms again until I unticked the Enable advanced network functionality box
If anyone knows why this is please enlighten me
Anyone else have problems with text messaging?
Scenario: I receive a text message, the notification pops up on screen. I have my phone handy, so i hit the reply button.
The phone takes me to Windows Mobile text messaging. I send my text message reply. If the same person texts me back, it is not registered as being read.
So i exit the screen back to the TouchFlo 3d menu. I have a new text message (that i have already seen and read)
So i go to the windows mobile text system to read it...again.
NOW, lets say i have a full conversation with someone. 30 messages later, I still have 30 unread messages, every time i open the windows mobile text messanger, it removes ONE new message, not all.
So, i never get to use the TouchFlo 3d messenger, which is half decent, and the WM6.1 text messenger is stupid.
Does anyone know of a setting, or a third party text program that will over ride this crap, or am i just hoping this all works out.
Am i really the only one who has text messaging difficulties?

this is a known issue my friend...
download SafeInBoxExtender... search the main forum...
it will let you "mark all messages as read" ..
it will cure your problem right up..
*nods* i have it already, it doesnt exactly "cure" the problem, UGH!
We shouldnt have to come up with stupid fixes for stuff microsoft should already have fixed.
Is 6.5 slated to fix some of this garbage?
I have another problem
i cant use the TF messaging
allot of times it tells me message not sent
and if not there is no delivery report
i found out the there is a TF delivery report i must check 1st
but its not fixed !!!
when i go out of the message it becoms unchecked !!
So at the end i used the Win messaging with no problems there
but i wish i can just click the incoming message and reply right away
hmm how odd, i don't have either of those issues.
Which version of the TP2 are you guys using?

I think you were able to send them text msg to their phone not on FB.
BTW, how do you do this, is there an update?

As long as you are on Mango you can do it.
Just press the extreme right button "swap" to jump between FB Chat and Text msgs.
This isn't new...
And you don't even have to go online on chat to send a message to an offline contact...
Simply go to the contact in "People", hit send facebook message, type it, send it. Done
I figured this out a while back, and tested to confirm.

Yes because it will log you in automatically. After that you still stay logged on.
So you still have to be online yourself in order to send and receive fb messages. So its half a step, now hopefully Apollo will finishe what should have been there from day one ...
This is definitely a new feature. Its also special because this is MS showing that they can change things without an update. This is definitely a cool way to bypass carriers for minor changes.
It is new, before it used to say "can't send because recipient is offline"

This is what I always got, and it would recommend me sending a text. Now it goes through, I was hoping they would make it like this for wp8, im glad they could change it without an update
Maybe I am doing something wrong...but I can't seem to figure out how to read txt's I get on the watch.
If I get a email I pull up and can read part or all of the email (depending on length) on the watch
But when I get a txt all I can do is see who sent it and have the option to open on the phone. I cant read the txt on the watch (other than the little infor I indicated)
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thanks

What program do you use for messaging on your phone? I use the new messenger app and it works fine for me.
