Does anyone know any kind of software that can add a shortcut to my today screen and allow me to send sms's to a predefined recipients number. What i would like oto do is to tap on to an icon, and open the new sms window with the recipient's number already filled.
Thank you in advance

1) Can you change the font size of the sms/email application. I would like a larger font to make reading and writing messages easier.
2) When I look in the SMS Sent Items folder, I see a list of messages which are udentified by phone number not contact name. Should the SMS's be identified by the relevcant contact.
In Contacts my phone numbers are all displayed as "+44 1234....' etc. I did change them all to have the space removed but after syncing with Outlook the space appears to be back again. Will this have anything to do with it.

1. The current version for the inbuilt sms/email application does not allow changing font size.
2. It should. However I found out that, if you compose sms from PHONE > Send SMS ..., the name of the contact does not show in the sms. Unless you compose the SMS from Contact or replying an incoming one which has Contact name identified.
3. Perhaps your Outlook is set to overwrite your pocket pc Contacts in ActiveSync?
I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

Anybody else have this issue?
When i go to compose SMS then i select the contact that I'm trying to send a message to, once i select them 2 of the same Name and Number will show up on the top bar, and it will send 2 messages on that same #
Please help
nope, what version of code are you running and what app are you using to send texts?
Shouldn't there be a contact drop down in the "TO:" line when composing an SMS - I don't see one and I'm accustomed to it being there.
This also takes up the character count in the SMS field, same behavior is exhibbted in all message applications, i.e. outlook, windows live.
It seems that auto suggestion is disabled by XT9 - although turning off XT9 by turning off predictive text in settings does not correct this - thoughts?
This wouldnt help your situation. But i remember composing emails and that dam contact list would come up. It was so hard getting to the actualy subject line because if i would click down it would think im trying to select a contact on the contact list. Im happen it was dropped
When I begin typing a name in this field, I do have a drop down list of contacts...
I am not using T9.
You can still type your contact's name directly from the homescreen, and then select "sms" by rolling the trackball left-right.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i have the same problem.
When composing a new sms or email on my other wm5 ppc, typing the first few characters of a contact's name would call up a list but this just doesn't happen in my htc snap.
anyone have a solution?
