I am about to begin a new contract with a new operator. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to count SMS and voice calls so that I do not go over my monthly allowance too much. Preferably is there a function to reset the allowance on a given day of the month but firstly be warned that this reset will take place so that you can take a note of the calls and txt’s sent. thanks in advance jd...

Hi, my company has just changed our phones from G1's to Omnia 7's. I had a handy app on the G1 that I used to forward my SMS's to my personal phone (save carrying both around with me out of office hours). Is there anything available to do this on the Windows mobile 7 omnia at all ? Many thanks
I know that with NoDo you can press and hold on the text you got and it will give you an option to forward it. I don't remember that being there in 7004.

It was there before NoDo... I know cause I dont have NoDo yet and the forward option is indeed there.
Problem is that the OP probably wants an automated process, instead of having to press all SMS's, and for that I don't think there is an application yet.
Hi guys, many thanks for your replies, as Avandor has suggested, I really need this to be an automated process as the phone will probably be at home, so I need it to push it automatically, if possble.
It's been nearly a year now... has any SMS auto-forwarding app popped up yet?
I'm contemplating getting a WP7 phone but need this feature.
Thanks

Mmm, this is all I find:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/8427cf9a-070a-4453-8024-56d21d81933e
It just looks like an app that sends pre-written SMSes to specific numbers.

It's a security issue / consider Google voice instead

This is not possible in WIndows Phone 7.
Under Windows Mobile 6.5 you could write handlers to intercept text messages as they arrive and do various things, such as send it to an email address using an email account.
But, it would not immiately send. It would go to your outbox and only actually send when you synced.
It's kind of a security issue to allow any application to directly send SMS or make calls without any confirmation. I say kind of because any dev could have called a webservice or done an HTTP post to a site instead. But, imagine a malicious devloper making an app that text messages all of your contacts or random people without your knowledge or confirmation with each send. If they allowed the app you want, they would not be able to stop the malicious app.
You may want to consider Google Voice, since users can SMS the google voice number and it will forward to the numbers or email addresses that you wnat to recieve it on. Then you can reply from any device running a Google Voice app.
Firstly, I would like to pay respect to the developers who mapped the hardware button for the camera app. Respect to you all. Starting this thread hoping those same geniuses would be able to solve this problem. Android generally has this crazy notion that if i want to send a long sms, it will be cheaper for me to send an mms. I get like unlimited sms but i gotta pay for each mms i send so everytime i need to send a long sms, it costs me money. plus, if the recipient does not have mms configured, its money lost from my side and nothing recieved on theirs. so is there any way to stop the native messaging app from converting sms to mms after 3 sms length.
currently using Handcent sms for long sms but its a pain and it crashes often.

uhm.
why would a long sms convert to a mms?
I've never seen this happen.
Have no idea why this happens. if i use "MyPhoneExplorer" to compose sms on pc and send them, this problem doesn't occur. tonight, i decided to send a long sms directly from my phone and i saw that it converts to mms. so decided to google it and it appears Xplay isn't the only phone with this problem. a quick browse on google shows that loads of device owners are frustrated by this. check it out on your stock device as mine is stock also. just bootloader unlocked and rooted ;-)
Yea, mine does the same, bootloader locked, and does it un-rooted and rooted.
Very annoying. You'd think sony ericsson would have made this an option.
But i did have this issue with 2.1 on my motorola milestone.
mine just gives me a notification saying it will send 2 SMS, it even counts down hoow many characters i have left until it adds another SMS to it (only when below 20 character left)

Its after lyk 4 or 5 sms's it turns it into a mms, i can confirm every android phone i have had (hero, desire, desire hd and xplay) have all done this, i resorted to sending half an sms then writing the other half n sending that lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I just tested mine to 5 sms. All it does it countdown how many characters I have left for each sms, and then adds another sms.
Converting into an mms sounds like a cheap trick to make more money by some carriers.
I am with Vodafone Uk and they don't use this trick yet it seems, although thanks for this post because now I will be keeping an eye out for this.
Still don't see it as much of a problem though. Just send one sms at a time?
Happens often here (when going into 4th txt), I just break messages down not to get stung with a MMS charge.
It can be annoying as when breaking the message down you can get a reply from the other side before they have read the full message, which can cause confusion.

Try expressing your feelings to your GF one message at a time...
Have you tried writing the whole message, copy/cutting half of it, sending half then quickly pasting and sending the rest? Or email/call the person lol? It might just be me but my texts are pretty small.

Well the solution is to go with a network provider that doesn't adopt this cheap tactic.
Alternatively, telephone them and threaten legal action with demand for all lost money sent on mms.
Changing an sms into an mms can not possibly be legal.

It's not something the network controls, its a Android thing.
I guess it make sense to people in the states and how most contracts work over there.
It is annoying though.

Why does my Xperia Play not do it then?
What makes mine different, other than the network providers own software?
It has to be a network provider setup?
I can't imagine an android stock rom ever having this feature.

Ok just to make a few things clear. I noticed this problem on my Xplay which has a stock rom 2.3.2 and i got it sim-free. i have tried it with several different vendors, like vodafone UK, 3, O2 and international vendors in Pakistan as well. Also, i've tried composing a message with no sim in it and still have the same problem. So its a problem with the OS and not network related. Saw the same problem on a stock Galaxy S Sim-free.
So Devs, please find a solution to this if possible.

how can it be network providers?
I got my handset SIM free (generic UK rom) and have used a few networks. it does it on all of them. and reports of it being the same on other Android devices.
It is nothing to do with networks, it Android OS.
my phone takes about 1 hr to delete 50 messages
i have 10,000 this would make the phone unusable for about a month while it deleted them.
how can i delete them? 1 thread has 5000+!
i tried clearing the data from settings> applications >messages
which looked for 2 secs that it did when i opened messaging again but it seemed as if the phone auto restored all the messages again!
?
lol what ? 1 hour for 50 messages is impossible. And you lose all your messages by preforming a full whipe before installing a new rom.
My girlfriend can send more than 50 msgs in an hour when we fight I turn off the phone after 5 I don't want to instigate I'm never surprised when I get home and turn on my phone and they all pour in beep beep beep for like 20 mins lol

When you have an sms app like go sms pro, all received sms by one sender were pooled in one thread. If you delete this one, all messages in this thread will be deleted. If you want to stop receiving sms, you could use handcent sms, which has a blacklist option:
http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php#TAG_USEBLACKLIST
But turn off all informations about received sms in settings of original sms app.
SMS Backup and Restore as a "delete all sms" option. Perhaps leave it going overnight. SMS appear to delete more quickly the fewer there are on the phone.
Um...
Maybe you can delete messages in my way.
Click menu and choose delete.Then select messages that you want to delete.

So much people posted here. I was confused and reflected all posts to you. I beg your pardon for this! But back to you: When you delete messages in directly your sms app, they should not "come back".

Try different sms apps.
I have a restriction of 75 messages per person. Can be installed in normal SMS app. So android deletes older ones all the time. If you want to delete all message at ones without losing time, perform full wipe

Hey, I run Omega Rom on my Note II. I need to send out about 100-150 text messages a day on a regular base and I keep getting warning messages with any SMS app I use that the app is trying to send out a large amount of sms messages.
I researched and found out it's a limitation from Jelly Bean's side. Is there a "fix" for this?? This is really annoying and driving me nuts!
That is a laaaaarge number of sms's to send. I think the limit is 100 sms every hour.
Anyways theres an apparent fix here.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, I will try this out
That's an awefull number of sms o send on one given day indeed. It reminds me of the teen in this country. A local news channel had a study the other day chatting about the texting habits of our today's teens. They found out that in Belize City, college kids were sending on average 1200 text messages per week .... unbelievable.
Anyways, getting back to topic. I know I'm not crazy but I swear I saw somewhere an options in the settings where you could have specified the limit number of sms. I'm on stock tho. It would be nice if you could reset the counter in the event you cannot increase the limit too.

Unfortunately the link for AOSP is dead (when you are actually about to download it).
I tried to apply it manually with SQLite Editor. Let's see if it will work tomorrow... here's hope...
Ok, that didn't work. What I did was adding the line to the settings.db (it was not in there) like explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30682863&postcount=21
But that didn't do the trick...
