I'm trying to find a program that will let me send group SMS... been scouring the net, but can't seem to find something good. Tried O2 SMS plus, but for some reason after a while i would stop sending or receiving SMS.. which obviously is bad.
any ideas?
Click 'To' then add a recipient, click 'To' then add a recipient, etc...
BS...
This is the solution
You could try my solution on this post , and I think you will be happy.

Hey i finally found a program to do it.. can't remember where.. some thread.
It's a tiny program that you can run from the programs menu or from the 'menu' button inside the messaging app. Sends group SMS to the different categories you have in your contact list.
(searched cause O2sms plus was giving me the same problem.. annoying)

Dear Forum
Do you know if there is a simple way to send to many people with one click an sms?
Does the capability of group contact exists? how?
Please advice.
try going into contacts and make it display the group you want to sms
so you can do that in the left corner of the contacts window
then you open your keyboard and press ctrl + A
then it mark all the contacts being displayd
then you tab and hold on them giving you the option list
then you choose send sms
or what ever it's called
then you get a sms msg window with all the nr.'s
Its nice. I try it....the downside, is not usuful with forwards, but is better than nothing.
Thanks for your reply.
Hello, forgive my newbie ignorance please.
I have a new O2 Hermes, which I have flashed to Cingular:
RUU_HER_Cingular_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship
I have attempted the QWERTY-QWERTZ registry fix, but am not yet successful (no big problem).
What is vexing me is that Messaging will not display incoming SMS -- inbox is always empty, but the Start menu says I have Text Messages Unread.
I am also unable to send SMS -- I press 'SEND' and the message sits in the outbox forever -- no error message. I know my SMS gateway is configured correctly, and I can't see anything else to configure except Unicode support.
I also know my account is set up for SMS because I can put my SIM in a conventional handset and it works in and outbound.
My colleague who has the identical Xda with the identical ROM does not have this problem.
Any ideas?

is the inbox for the email or the sms or outlook...etc ?
seems simple but I can't find any other reason, there are a couple of inboxes check to see which one you're currently at you can switch through them,
seeing as it says you have unread messages I assume sms is working fine.
Messages clarification
when I click on the 'Text Messages: 8 unread', the device goes to 'Text Messages'
header is 'Inbox' and 'Received'.
the screen is blank exept for the footer 'Text Messages 0 items.
If I click on 'Inbox', I see the different folders 'MMS' (empty), 'Outlook 'Email' (which has the working outlook stuff), and 'Text Messages', which has 'Inbox' empty and 'Outbox' (1) -- the message that refuses to be sent.
It is bizarre behaviour.
I can't send MMS either; composed and 'sent' but stuck in outbox with an envelope+Xsymbol.... (but MMS is more complicated, and not as important to me)
go to messages,
click on menu/tools options,
what accounts do you have there?
you might need to setup a new text message account although it should be there automatically you might need to change the service number.
Hi Phm,
Sound like your SMS center number is not set right - could be wrong but check it here > Start > Settings > Personal > Phone - On the services tab click 'Voice Mail and Text Messages' > Get Settings. The numbers returned should be those as used by your network...

Hi Gavin, Hi Darky.
My Messages:toolsptions has accounts:
* Text Messages
MMS
New Account....
text messages only has option 'unicode y/n'.
settingshone:voicemail/text shows:
Text message service centre: +1 (705) 796-9300
Voice Mail: +1 9604) 418-3471
which are correct for Rogers.
for giggles I retype the SMSc entry.
in PHM regedit (not the same PhM ;-) )
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS contains Datagram, Status and TextShared, all empty.
System\State\Messages contains
OtherEmail\Unread (Count:6)
SMS\Unread (count 8, Text 'Text Messages...'
sync (name activesync, unread count 0)
TotalEmail\Unread (count 6)
Vmail line1,2, total (unread count 0)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
comm\cellular\SMS\Protocols\Notification
AppName tmail.exe
and a bunch of other parameters
subtlety: some of the entries point to AppName tmail.exe and others point to \Windows\tmail.exe. (explicit path)
Can I assume there's a path similar to old desktop windows?
HKLM\comm\cellular\SMS\Router and Store are empty.
that's all I see in the registry that might be relevant.
HKLM\Services\SMSReciever looks in order.
Next thing I'll try is reflash the system. But that's a bit like trying to start the car with one foot on the ground.
Hi,
In mine I can see and read SMS, but can't send. Today I found the reason is probably that I got a 32kb SIM' card. My operator is sending me a 64kb. 128kb do also exist.
Not sure this can be linked to your issue though...
SIM size and SMS?
Hi Prerna, interesting idea.
what makes it weird is that I was able to send and receive messages with the 'old' O2 flash. SMS broke when I loaded the Cingular flash I am still using my old Rogers SIM (vintage 2003 or so).
Maybe it's time to upgrade.
/PhM
re-flash helps
Well, I spent an hour, downgraded to the original O2 ROM, then upgraded to the Cingular ROM, and now SMS works again.
I have not yet tried to do the registry tweaks to restore the QWERTZ keyboard.
I wonder if maybe I accidentally broke something when I was poking around in the registry.
For now, SMS is working and that's the main thing

Text Message: 6 Unread - but no messages
There are 6 unread text messages on my today screen but when I highlight it to view it, there are no messages to be read. I keep getting text messages and the counter just adds up but there are no messages at all.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? Your help is highly appreciated, thanks!

Hi
You can try the following application. It removes spurious unread message count from the today screen and resets it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32766&d=1167695488
However - I am curious, is it the case that genuine messages are being received but that you just can't view them?
Mike
I had the same problem when I upgraded to any of the WM6 Roms, some days smses worked and others it would just store the smses in the outbox and if someone sent me a sms my phone display would come on but wouldn't indicate a sms, yet my friend would get a delivery report, so all i did was just downgarde to the latest WM5 Rom and problem solved.
Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?
I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images
?
Multimedia Messaging
Short Message Service
Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .
As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.
I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.
But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS
I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.
no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.
Hi,
Is there a way to send an sms to all contacts?
Also how do you select multipe contacts for messaging - do you really have to do one contact at a time as I have been doing, or can you "mark" multiple contacts?
Cheers.
In the list of Recipient type the contacts following bij a semicolon.
for example:
contact1; contact2; contact3 etc
Hi, same thing here. Do you get a "check names" option in the forward message opiton box that doesn't do anything? Is there any way of adding a check box to the contacts menu? Would be nice. I've searched the whole forum and can't find any answers. Search brings up no matches either.
Thanks.
I dont know about 'all', but multiples are easy, just keep clicking the To button and selecting your contacts from the contactlist (one at a time).. A checkbox would have been neater tho.
Try google for Group SMS. It lets you list your contacts by category, and checkbox those you wish to SMS to.
I'm sure I had that one. If anyone finds it, please post a link.
I have catagories set up, why can't I just text a catagory and it messages them all..
Eaglesteve! Searched as you said and installed Groupsms. Works great.
Cheers and thank you.
I am looking for any info regarding wether or not there is any registry value that stores email subject and body text that I can pull from. What I am trying to do is similar to M2D's email and SMS pages. I would like to access the subject and body of emails and SMS so that I may use that text in my own Today skin, (a preview of emails or SMS without having to open the
Messaging program). I have looked in the registry but have been unable to find what I am looking for. The only thing I found is the messaging state that shows how many emails and SMS that I have, no actual text from the email or SMS itself. If there is no existing registry value, can one be created that I would be able to pull from, and if that is not possible is there a plugin that I would be able to use that would give me access to the emails without having to open the messaging center on my phone, and if there is no plugin that exists would anyone be willing to help me make a program that would run in the background that would put email and SMS text in a registry value that could be pulled from if that is even possible to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
