hey guys, i'm sorry if i'm a bit slow at this, but here it is. I have a 8528, which i unlocked and am using a tmobile sim card. I am using K's rom 1.3a. I have installed the Oz instant messenger from the t-mobile extended rom i found elsewhere. Now my question is, Oz is a text message based messenger (which is why it appeals to me, i have unlimited texts) now whenever i sign on to aim, it connects to edge. I don't believe ill be charged for the edge access, but i don't want to kill my battery by being connected to edge. anyway if anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated. Thank you very much all.
Do you mean that OZ (give us a link to info about it) is SMS based messenger system? Or maybe you just confuse "text-based" (using letters, not voice) with SMS (Short Message System in GSM)? So far I've seen only regular data-connection messengers, so it's perfectly normal it requires data connection (like GPRS/EDGE/3G/UMTS/HSDPA) to communicate with IM servers and you are billed for data transfer (price of crouse depends on your agreement and price list).
Oz, which is the basic messenger program that comes with at&t as well as t-moile is sms based. so why would it be connecting to edge?
Does anyone know how to make WM6.1 work with the Tmoblie Trigger mail? I installed 6.1 and tried to do the WM5/6 hack that works but had no luck. I had 6.1 on my phone for a few days and liked a lot of its features, but really like the Tmobile Trigger mail so went back to 6.

What is the trigger mail feature just wondering?
Trigger Mail Feature
TMobile has a hybrid push mail that was available under WM5. Basically what happens is you give TMobile.com you email address, POP & SMTP settins plus password. They then monitor you inbox. When an email is recieved thier server generates a text message that triggers you phone to check your email. The text message is invisible to the user and is automatically deleted. The advantage is that you do not have to set you phone to check email every 5min, 15 mins etc. You phone only checks when triggered to do so.
Here is probably a better discription;

Anyone have a solutuion for this? Anyone using this feature? Am I the only one that still does? I have 3 email addresses that TM triggers my phone for, most emails arrive in my phone within minutes of being sent.
Uses a txt message? I guess that wouldnt work for me. I dont need unlimited txts, but have unlimited data...so I just have wm 6.1 poll my inboxes every 5 minutes
Call T-Mobile and ask them?
Tmobile does not support WM6.1 on the Dash, and they don't support trigger mail on anything past WM5.
Anyone? You guys always amaze me with the way you can figure anything out, don't let me down now. Am I the only one who uses this? Is there something better out there?
Here I will look into this and get to you asap
I dont think T-Mo charges your account for the trigger mail sms.
If you don't have unlimited Text they will charge you. I am lucky and still have the Tmobile Mail and More plan that includeds unlimited data, text, sms, wifi and 1000 min for $69. I will hold on to that plan until they come up with 3G.
The trigger mail does work great though, don't know why they quit supporting it after WM5

How can we still get this?
You have to go to your account on Tmobile.com then goto Communications Tools. Once there you will see a section that labled "About E-Mail' Click on the learn more tab. Once here you will see a picture of your Dash, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you will is a link that says 'Still want to continue using Windows Mobile 5' if you click here it will take you to a screen where you can set you can set up you email boxes. Basically you tell Tmobile your email addresses, passwords, and pop/smtp settings. Then turn on the alerts feature.
Now Tmobile will silently alert your phone when ever an email is received in any of your configured accounts. This SMS alert triggers your phone to sign on and retrieve then new messages.
If you are using WM6 you have to add several files from WM5 to make your phone work correctly. I have these files but wont post them here unless a moderator tells me it is ok. The files needed from WM5 are
MyEmSMP.exe
TMMEPluginEnabler.exe
InBoxDriverSrv.dll
TmMapirule.dll
TmUtil.dll
tmyemail.dll
For complete instructions on how to configure your phone goto

With this enabled your phone only checks email when triggered instead of every 5, 15 minutes depending on how your phone is currently set.
It works great, I would just like it to work with WM6.1 also, I am just smart enough to make it happen.

I cant attach to a PM for some reason but I sent you a link a site I made with the files. It's open you should be able to get in
I still remember reading on the T-Mo site the Trigger SMS are free but it might be based on having a certain plan.
You have to read the fine print. They are free if you have a SMS plan. Each trigger = 1 text message. When they started doing this with the first Tmobile PocketPC phone the plans for that phone all came with unlimited text. I started with the original Tmobile PPC phone, then the HP6300 and had that when I went to my Dash. I still have the plan from my 6300, Tmobile would probably love me to give it up since I get everything for $69, Tzones, Data, Text, 1000min, Nights & Weekends....
I have been using this on every phone since it first came out on the T-Mobile HP IPAQ. I do not have unlimited test and it does not use text but triggers the phone to convert 701 codes to the actual email. Now you do have to have thier internet option at 19.95 a month. I too love it and have switched from 6.1 back to 6.0 because of this single application. Thats ow much I love it.. (one thing that is different is I am using a PPC)
Glad to hear that I am not the only one who loves Trigger Mail. I really want to move to 6.1, if someone could just get this to work it would be great.
Hi. I just did a fresh rom install and decided to try to the Palm Thread SMS application. Its a very nice application but I am having a few problem with it. Once the application connects to the GPRS (Media Net) to download mms messages it stays connected to the network until I manually disconnect it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Also another problem I'm experiencing is I am not able to view the pictures that are sent via MMS. I get the message and everything fine but the image say "Media Deleted". Like it was it deleted while it was receiving it. Any thoughts on these problems? I really like the Palm Thread SMS application much better then the stock Microsoft sms client. My device is a Hermes 8525, running Windows 6.1. Thanks in advance!
If you use Schap's Advanced Config Tool, it has an option in the Connections settings to disconnect active connections after a specified amount of time.
...and if your using WM6.1 then whats the reason behind using the Threaded App? Just use the regular threaded SMS built into 6.1 along with Arcsoft MMS

Yep, that seemed to be the best bet.
Noticed the OZ Messenger was go so I downloaded it and it works, problem is that it doesn't connect and gives me the connection error and to check my settings. I can send and receive SMS and MMS texts.
I went through this last time I went from WM5 to WM6 but can figure out how I got it going and not sure if it even works with WM6.1
I do have Unlimited text plan just in case it gets brought up.
I do have to say that it works perfectly for me(WM6.1)...
I haven't found any issues yet..
Oh yeah. the OZ version is 4.1.3
I did the T-Mo MMS GPRS setting as been described but not sure if I am missing anything else?
SMS service? GSm, GPRS or preffered on both?
any input?
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.
Sent from my Samsung Focus using Board Express

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.
I'm looking for something like this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.intensoft.smstransfer
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.
