mms messages

i've recieved some mms messages, where/how do you view the picture attachments?

When I open the MMS application on my phone and select the message I want to view, the left soft button is named 'objects'. Press it and the message is divided into audio, text, and image. Click on the image to view it. Click on the right soft button called 'menu' for the save option and/or assign to contact.

i don't get anything like that. i just get prompts to 'download' the message in mms (nothing seems to happen when i do), but also get a link as a text message to view on t-mobile website, which i can.

from memory...a few months ago a friend had the same situation and when she called T-mo support they said her account was not set up to receive MMS messages. I can't remember if she needed to subscribe to be able to download them to her phone. Like you said though, they were available on line on her account page - or, something like that.
I was curious about this upon seeing your message so I went to T-mo's website (did you?) and read the following:
"Why do I receive a link instead of the picture?
Before being able to receive a multimedia message, you must first send a picture message, which sets up your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card on the network for picture messaging. This is referred to as provisioning. Please send a picture message before attempting to receive a picture message. For more information, go to Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)."​and this:"Users must use an MMS capable device and be provisioned within the Multimedia Messaging System Center (MMSC) to send/originate MMS messages. Users become self provisioned when an MMS message is originated and sent from the user's terminal. By sending an MMS message, T-Mobile auto-provisions users for both mobile originating and mobile terminating MMS messages."​
I'd be interested to know if you send a MMS if you can then recieve them without adding any services to your account for extra $.

tried the above, still no joy. has anyone got a cab file to install t-mobile uk mms settings and necessary gprs etc settings?

Have you searched the forums for it? You have to know you are not the very first person looking for it. I found this. It says it's for wm2003 & wm5 devices but I'd still give it a try. I've been using the same cab file for USA Cingular/AT&T since back to wm5 for sure and even probably 2003 on several different devices, except the latest ROM has a network wizard built right in so it wasn't necessary this go round. I'm pointing you to that particular page 'cuz they have the settings for several different countries and it's a nice bread crumb to leave behind for anyone else who searches for the T-mobile gprs settings cab. Hopefully it's a good link and the cab file works for you.
BTW, I found my way to that by searching the XDA forums for "t-mobile UK gprs cab" (without the quotes) and the second result had a link to a link to the page. That's just the route I took. There are a full 10 pages of results, I'm sure the cab you desire is in there somewhere if the link I gave you doesn't work out.

From that search I did, the 9th result led to a "Call for Operator Settings for ALL NETWORKS" right here on XDA. Since you are looking for the MMS settings for T-mobile UK, you would be particularly interested in post 8 in that thread.
Hope one of the links gets you where you want to go.

SMS display problem after 6.1 upgrade

Hey all,
I recently upgraded my Kaiser from WM6 to 6.1 using the official upgrade tool Vodafone UK supplied me, and all went without a hitch, so much so that I think I'm gonna try out Hyperdragon III while I'm on the "doing funky things to my phone" bandwagon. I have noticed one problem though, and I figure it'll probably be a problem when I reflash too so I'm trying to solve it now.
When I imported all my contacts and SMS messages (which I backed up using sprite), I though it was all fine. I opened my SMS inbox and watched as it built the threaded list, etc, and everything was good until I received a new message. The sender was in my contacts list, and had previous messages in the threaded view, and as intended, the new message added to their "thread". But as soon as it did, the thread had their number instead of the contact name as the title.
I did some experimenting, and this happens everytime I get a message from someone who previously had a named entry in the inbox, but if I get a message from a newly created contact, it works fine.
If I go into a thread from someone who hasn't sent me a post-upgrade sms yet, their name is displayed properly, but when I click on it (which should bring up a screen displaying their details), I get a message saying the number isn't in my contacts and would I like to add it.
Sorry if this has been answered before, I had a look and couldn't see anything.
Any ideas?

same problem too

Who sent me this text message?

It arrived with "Natwest" as the sender, but who is "Natwest"? Yes, I know it's a bank, but why can't I see the number it was sent from? It's not in my contact list. Unlike my older phones I don't seem to be able to get a `properties` view showing sender, date etc. Is this something I need another app for?

Hold your finger on the text, a box pops up with the option to view the message details.

thanks, but that still just showed 'natwest'. Surely it's come from a number?

I dont think this is a device related ... because there are many companies make deals with Mobile Operators to send ad messages to the masses and only show the senderID, they dont even need a number to do that.
i say this because i have done such solution for my company, the messages go to the masses and only senderID (company's name) appears, ... no number needed to do that (from a mobile operator point of view)

You have an account with them and they are making used of this volcano story for a bit of PR!
A friend who has an account with them got the same message.

I had a txt from 'Natwest' today but when I opened it it says it was from one of my FB contacts!! Had it twice now I just delete them...

You've never had a text from just a name before?!

Nope, all mine have just been a number unless in my address book...

nothing to worry about, that's simply how Natwest send out their balance texts when you;ve signed up to their text alerts service through Monilink.
It will show as Natwest on any phone. as has already been said, lots of companies and premium sms services come from just a name now, rather than a number.

I had a similar problem...
When I want to check balance (free minutes, SMS, etc...), i need to send SMS to number 1260, and after that i receive SMS message with usage details.
Problem is, that I receive 2 messages with same content.
One is from number 1260 which is my operator, and other is from my friend on Facebook (strange, he even didn't enter Mobile number on FB Profile).
Because of receiving same message over and over again, I had to delete my FB friend

I don't use the balance alerts - the txt is a public service announcement which I don't want

I got this message too. I have a Natwest account that is never used and has about a fiver in it, and I didn't even know they had my phone number!

Seems as though loads of Natwest customers got that text yesterday..
I have a mate who works for Monilink and he said that they were hammered with queries regarding it!

Forward SMS to another mobile

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:

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.

goo.gl links not sending or receiving through samsung messages

I just bought my wife a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S9. I have an unlocked Note 8 with T-Mobile firmware installed. When I went to google maps and clicked "Share Place" it asks which app I would like to share it with, I click Messages, and it converts it to a goo.gl link and I send it to her. I do not get a delivered status, and she never receives the link that I sent. I tried other goo.gl links besides from Google Maps and they will not send either. I have verified that I can send the goo.gl links to 2 different phones using the same method, It is just hers that is not receiving it. From her phone, trying the same method, it looks like it sends but never goes through to the person it is sent to. So her phone will not send or receive any goo.gl links, I have verified that all of the sms, mms and chat settings are the same in her phone and my phone. Has anyone experienced this before? Is my wife's phone the only one with this problem? Could this possibly be a new "security feature" built into the new messaging app or just a bug?

I am having the same problem but only if I use Google Messages, it seems to work fine if I use the stock SMS app. There is a thread over on Reddit as well, some are talking about missing texts in general while others have issues with goo.gl urls but the mentioned fixes on there haven't worked for me though. I can't post links yet but it's in r/tmobile
