a question to the experts:
When I send MMS, then I choose my contacts to send to from the address book, it come out like this "name" <number> but it wont send, I have to edit it and just place the number only for it to send, meaning, choosing contacts from the address book is useless, coz you cant edit it fom the MMS ap, you need to memorize the number and input it manually.
------------
Edited, sorry I notice I accidentally wrote on our local language, all translated to english already
Any1 has this problem?
hello? Anobody there?
Update to everyone one!! My problem is solved. contacts with characters aside from letters will give you the problem, for example i added (^_^) on my wifes contact name and this was the culprit, apparantly all the MMS ive send included her on the list, today I send an MMS to a person aside from her and it send without problems

How do I choose who I want to send my MMS to?! I can't see anyway to reach my contacts from the MMS composer screen, so whenever I want to send a picture I have to first of all choose the contact, copy their number and then create a new MMS and paste this number in the 'to' line.
Am I missing something?! Because this is quite an annoying process.
Thanks
Yes, I have the same problems.

I had exactly the same problem, but finally it dawned on me that you have
to press on the text ("To:") not on the empty field. This will bring up the
address book and you can select the recipient.
Not exactly obivous since the text is not marked in any special way.
Nah, can't be that simple... I would have tried that
<I grab my Wizard>
<open a new MMS>
<press to>
zomg! It is that simple! Now I feel dumb!
I'm gonna go sit in the corner and put my special hat on.... :?
Thanks for the help!
Im so glad I have found this forum as I can see all these kind of things cropping up when I get my device.
Hi guys,
sorry to get back on this question, but it is really bugging me off:
When I try to send an sms to SOME contacts, my 9100 sends me to the generic SMS form - without pre-filling the "To" field with the correct number.
Of course the contacts in question does have a mobile/sms number filled in. Also, I can't figure which contacts are affected.
And: the problem seems to happen only with the original Contacts form. SMSsing from Agenda Fusion works just right.
Editing over two characters in the "note" section of the contact seems to fix the problem FOR THAT SPECIFIC name only, but of course I'd like to find a more sensible solution.
Any suggestions?
no?
This is driving me up the wall - I got my O2 XDA Mini S yesterday, and I love it, bar 1 (major) fault - I can't (easily) send an SMS to multiple contacts.
Every day I send out 10 texts (sometimes more) to different people (to see who can play football that night). It's not always the same 10, so I can't just set up a Dist List or Group.
At the minute I have to click where it says To:, choose a contact, click where it says To:, choose another contact, etc, etc.
How on Earth can I just click To:, select as many contacts as I need, then send?
I realise after searching these forums that I don't think it can be done with the standard software, but is there any 3rd party software that will let me do this? (I'm only bothered about SMS, not e-mail, if that matters)
Thank you so much!
FlexMail 2007 seems to do what I need.
hey mate, on my mda vario when I start a new sms the cursor is in the 'To' field.
All I do is start typing the name of who I want to send to and the vario brings up a list of possibilites, like it does when it's guessing what words you're typing during a text. Once I pick a name the cursor then moves across so I can type in another name and so on and so on.
does your Mini S not do this?
I just noticed today that it does!!!
It's a shame really that people say "It doesn't do <insert action here>" but actually it does...
It's not their fault they havn't noticed it, it's that it's so well hidden, you don't see it...
i send similar SMS's to a group of friends. what i did was create a new "Contact" for each person and i put a prefix before each name (ie) 1carlos....etc 2mark.....etc this way they are the very first contacts on the list so when i hit the "To" button all the names are right in order at the top of the list
hope this helps
Same here. I send a list of emails or SMS messages to a group of friends. I never found a way to create a distribution list like you can do on the desktop version of Outlook.
I created a notepad file with all the groups. I cut and paste them in the To: box to send to those groups.

I also tried doing this, but I also discovered not all the addresse received the message at the end...
It seems there is a limit on the number of characters the "To:" field accepts...
And also, if it is faster to send a pigeon, why do I need a PocketPC ???

Im new to the phone and this awsome forum ! so any help would be Grrrreat!
I must of changed something cause lately when I try to send a sms or mms before I send it, it says that "Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid, would you like to send it anyways?"
and those contacts have beens saved on the sim and the phone since i got it! last week...
any help? I know for a fact they are saved and the addresses are correct
Folks,
Weird question/issue. I have a google group contacts set up. When I try to send a group SMS it converts the message to MMS with the following reason "some recipients only have email addresses saved, not phone numbers. To there email addresses the message will be converted to a multimedia message"
The weird thing is, all the recipients have phone numbers, plus this worked with my htc one x, plus worked with a SMS app called "Textra". I've even checked every recipient in the group, and each one has a phone number.
I've tried using WANAM, but still get the same issue.
any ideas ?
I think I found a bug. By removing the email address associated with the contact, saving it, re-adding the email address back in has seemed to have fixed the issue. I can now use the stock SMS App, without Wanam and it sends group SMS now.. Bizzare !

Also found that if I remove the email address from gmail logged onto a pc, then re-add the email directly on the contact using the phone it works as well.

I havent found a solution other than the work around I use. It's a pain in the arsXXXe but unfortunately other than using a different SMS app I cant find a solution.
