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.
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.

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?

why me then?
hope any one can help me
my Rom version is 1.19.415.1
dated 06/12/09
im using the sprint TP2
Another partial fix here...Partial because Ive only using the new dll for a bout a week(not sure of long temr effects) & I cant make a successful backup using sprite backup etc without adding the dll files to the exclude list of files to backup.
im not quite sure i understand what you just said.
Is it just me, or is there anyway to remove the option to Send a Message to any numbers not designated as "Mobile"?
In my address book, numbers designated as Home or Work still give me the option to Text them.
Its frustrating to accidentally send a Text to my Wife's work number, because I selected the wrong option in People, when it shouldnt even show as an option unless its a Mobile.
Any one able to help on this?

I'm not trying to sound mean or anything but maybe just don't text the wrong number...?? Generally you should probably know your wife's cell phone number vs. her work number.

Yes, I do, and you are right, user error is the most at fault here.
I know my wife's cell number, but I hardly know anyone elses. Thats why I keep a detailed Google address book, so that I dont have to.
However I still think its silly that it allows you to designate numbers as mobile or not, but then automatically gives you an option to text non-mobile numbers. Is it not?
And if it is silly, its something Id like to correct if I could, hence asking the community if anyone else has seen this, and knows of any way to address it besides always pushing the decision on the user.
That's a good point. I thought that was annoying as well. I do most of my messaging straight from the messaging app but it still shows all numbers. It's a bit annoying.
Sent from my EVO 4G using the XDA App.
Sorry I don't have an answer, just want to say I'm with u on this. I think its reasonable to expect such a genius phone to know it can't send a text to a land line.
Although, as I type this I'm realizing that more companies are using cell phone for their primary lines and employees. Who knows, maybe we will be able to send texts to land lines someday soon. If a regular phone has an lcd for cid display why couldn't it display a text message... things that make you go "hmmm"
I asked a similar question before in a different thread... but does anyone know if the People app source is ever released when they release the source for the EVO ROM?
I imagine the hardest part about excluding the option to message other numbers would be finding the right spot to implement an if statement. Then would it be possible to compile the APK and install that custom version on my phone? While I would be in there I'd probably address the First name sorting problem
I'm 100% with you on this. I know it's part of user control but it shouldn't have to be.
There should be a checkable option in the Messages/SMS app: "Include Non-Mobile Numbers" and it should be off by default.
I also wish you could exclude certain contacts in the Messages/SMS app. There are people at work I would never text but I have their number in case they call me (I often am the "go-to IT guy") so I know who it is.
Ah well, we can hope!
I'm so with everyone on this..It annoys the hell out of me.
but you know what? I found out that apparently Sprint has some kind of service that will txt to landlines.
txt your home phone and you'll see..maybe there is a way to turn that off i dont know. didnt check much further into it

Yes, I've done it by accident many times. Those who I've texted (landline instead of wireless), said they answered the call and was given the option of having my text "read" to them. In fact, I just did it yesterday to my brother, thought I was texting his cell and instead sent it to his home. His wife answered and some "computer lady" read her my text...

I know this version of the G1's Contact.apk has this option (it was my request of the dev lol)
It works on my EVO (2.1 rooted) but MAN it's ugly after using People for the last few days.

I hate to say it but some people's mobile number is their home number. Lots of peep no longer have land lines at all. If you put a filter on what the sms app shows you would likely have as many people unhappy about that as you do this. If your going to error, do it on the side of making things possible as opposed to restricting things is likely the logic in play here.

I thought the messaging app did have that option then I realized I use handsent and it does have a mobile only option in its send settings.

i guess it depends on how many contacts you have but you could create a group that only contained mobile numbers. Although if you have a significant amount of contacts this would probably be a pain
I created separate "land" contacts for those I text and that have land lines. Lousy but works.

Download handcent sms from the market and under settings, then send message settings, check,"show mobile num only" should work for you. Sorry if this was already posted, I didn't read the full thread

I just got my a7 and cannot find the app for sms text messaging. I installed the latest firmwaree
I'm confused. How do you expect to text on something that has nothing but wifi/blue tooth?
The manual says go to messaging icon type in number you want to text to but i cannot find the icon and the specs say it can
There's no way it can natively send/receive sms.
The version that was originally submitted for fcc approval did have gsm but it was removed in the production version.
You've got me interested though, gotta go find my manual. Maybe they just never updated the book after they changed the hardware...
There was an iphone app (cant remember the name right now) that did text messaging through a service. Maybe someone here will pop in with an android equivalent.
Well, now I just feel ripped off. I didn't get a manual. All I got was a folded up "Quick Start Guide", a warranty card, and a pair of headphones.
I got the same thinng you did . I got the manuel at the elocity site. Check it out it seems to be a old verizon but it clearly states that it can.sent a e-mail but no reply34&

It can send email. The question you asked was about sms text though.
On the market, search for an app called TextPlus.
When i tried to create an account it force closed when I clicked the age button, but it can be used without an account.
Can send SMS and receive a reply, pretty sure it cant receive non reply texts though.
Tried Yahoo messenger as well, but the Yahoo SMS feature on it doesn't work for this tablet.
I have been using this app and wanted to turn everyone else on to it. This app keeps your text messages synced in the cloud and enables you to be able to send and receive text message on your computer. If I send a text from my phone, it still shows up on my computer and vice versa. It is really nice to have my phone on the charger, and while I'm using my computer I can read and respond to my text messages without having to ever go get my phone. And best of all......IT'S FREE. Check it out.

Looks a lot like Google Voice SMS.
Also another app called AirDroid lets you text through your computer browser

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not 100% certain) but isn't Google Voice SMS just a sms scheduling app? This app I posted about actually uses your existing cell phone number and lets you text business as usual from the phone but the texts stay in sync in the cloud, and gives you access to them (send, receive, compose, etc) from the computer.

What I like about this one is that you can use the browser but you don't have to. They also have a windows and a mac app too. I prefer to use the windows app so that I don't have to keep the tab open with that site. Also with the windows app even after a reboot I still get my messages on the computer.

Yeah I saw a few browser based ones. What got my attention about this one is that it actually has a windows app that I could install to my computer. That's cool because when I boot up my computer I'm able to handle my text messages without having to do anything. The only complaint I have about it so far is that there are no audible text message alerts during a call (just like the stock sms app).
Today I've noticed it doesn't sync the existing mms messages. But it will sync mms messages that come in after you install the app.

Google voice sends text messages via the google voice phone number.
A friend of mine was using MyPhoneExplorer. It is only for Windows, so i didn't try it. But he told me that the app has a notification system integrated, and you can also answer a call through the pc.
is there additional battery drain with this since it is syncing your texts to the cloud?
Thats one reason why i switched from GV to my regular number, the reliance on data to send texts got annoying with low signal and also drained battery
I think voice typing is better
Outbound, the server can send any phone number but I don't know how it can receive without the phone being on.
The messages can be sent out via a phone or browser but the phone is the key in receiving since the number is physically ported through the carriers to your cell.
So your phone receives the messages and uploads it to the server for viewing everywhere.
Neat. Would be cool using on my tablet.

Thanks for letting us know, a friend of mine might find this very useful. They always thought it was cool that I could send and receive SMS messages from my Google Voice Chrome extension (or the web page, obviously) and they'd always get frustrated when they'd forget to use one of the sms to sd backup apps before flashing a new ROM, but I could never convince them to use Google Voice because they didn't want to switch to a new phone number.
Are there be any possible privacy issues with storing your SMS logs on this companies servers?
how to send contact via sms, event the stock sms also can not send this kind of thing, maybe Google is missing some thing, isn't it??
will it restore my messages from the cloud to the phone?

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.
