Hi,
I installed a new ROM and am missing a little feature now. Unfortunately I don't know if it was some hack or tool I installed or something to enable with the ROM itself.
When I wrote a new SMS and entered a few letters, a list would drop down with matching recipients names (and only their GSM numbers), and I could select from there. This is gone now, I can just enter the name, and when I press "Send" I'm taken to a separate page of matching recipients with all their numbers...
How can I get that back?

hi im new to WM5, i used to have a nokia smart phone. i wanted to know how i can send sms messages to muliple mobile phones quickly. without having to continually going through my contact list and selcting each one, one at a time. thanks.
At the "To" line, type the name (or some letters) of the first person, select the contact from the list that appears, press enter, a ";" appears after the name, which means you can enter another contact after that.
Good luck with the Windows Mobile Experience!

Hi, This is an easy one but couldn't find anything in the forum searches probably wrong key words, but how do you select multiple receipient when sending a txt msg without having the need to go back to menu - add receipient - there has to be an easier way?
Thanks
After you enter the first receipient, just start writting the name of the secondone in the field To, a list will be displayed with your contacts list, just select the one you want; go ahead untill you have added all the contacts you want.
Hope this help ...
Regards
You can also press select (d-pad center) immediately after selecting a contact while you are in the TO field and it will take you back to your contacts where you can search.

i have tryed allready to move the value in HCLU/.../phone (which is in topaz wiki) from 8 to 9 and to 10 and back to 8 but it shows only numbers...
hope some one can help
This happened to me today. I had one of my friends numbers entered incorrectly so obviously when the text came it showed the number and not the name.
After correcting the number in my contact list, on the black touch flo screen listing the texts, it still shows the text with the number and not the name, even though when I click on the text, it correctly identifies it with the correct person and shows it in their list of text messages.
All other texts from him now show his name in the black touch flo screen, but that original text still just shows his number. This must mean the sender is stored with the message the moment it arrives, instead of being looked up whenever it is required.
This also means it should technically be possible to rename who your texts came from by editing some file or other.
probably a problem that not many other people have encountered, but I kept having an error message when sending an sms to my wife, using her entry in my contacts, along the lines of "not enough numbers in this phone number".
I thought it strange seeing as the phone number i had is the right one and works for calling etc.
just realised why. it only happens when i click "new message" and then type the first few characters of the name, then select it from the suggested names. no problems if i just select the message thread and add a new message.
the problem is that my wife's name is inordinately long (31 characters not including spaces) and that there is a limit in how many characters the SMS "to" field will allow ... and by the time it had her name in there, there was only room remaining for half her phone number.
so it was just trying to send to half of her phone number cos that's all there was space for!
anyone know a reg hack to increase the maximum allowed characters in sms "to:" field? otherwise i'll just have to chop off half her name
I'm going mad with this but I cannot figure out how to edit a contacts number, I'm positive the option doesn't exist, if it does it's well hidden or im blind.
when I chose a contact to edit, the only options I get are 'delete' 'send message' 'move to' and 'copy to', nothing to actually edit the contact card to either edit a number, add a number, add email etc.

Not something I need to do often and probably not done it since I had the Oppo but need to do it now.
Cheers
