Hi guys, i am just wondering if there is any good software which lets you send and receive text msgs via my laptop or pc while the phone is connected with bluetooth or usb cable?
or does outlook somehow let you do it?
or pretty much any cool diamond management software.?
thanks.
ryan
I use Jeyo Mobile Companion, and it pretty much does what you're looking for.
It also lets you backup/restore Messages,Contacts and Call History.
It is not a freeware, and you can get the trial from here:
www.jeyo.com
Yeah I second using the Jeyo software- I have been doing so on devices running WM2003 up to the most recent. Good for backing up SMSs too.
I have always had one issue or another with this type of software which is why I prefer to use something like this: http://www.mymobiler.com/
It is like a Remote Desktop Connection to your phone and gives you full mouse/keyboard support as well as Copy & Paste from/to PC/Phone.
I use Efficasoft Mobile Express (http://www.efficasoft.com). I don't know what Jeyo is like (sounds quite cool) but I can tell you I love this app.
It works, is easy to use, has outlook-style pop-ups when a new text arrives and the best bit - if you like to flash new ROMs from time to time then you don't need to reinstall it - next time you run the PC app with your phone sync'd, it just reinstalls the phone component and carries on - no soft reset or stuff like that required.
You can also manage your contacts with it too (albeit somewhat basic and nothing like Outlook but quick and easy).
It's not free, but it's cheap (got my from handango.com)
** Updated **
Since reading this thread I've installed MyMobiler to try it out - is cool and useful for other stuff but it's too slow and pedestrian for writing text with - the predictive text gets in the way so I now use Efficasoft Mobile Express for sending text from my PC, and MyMobiler for playing other apps on my diamond from my PC.

Waiting for my XDA2 I am using a girlfriend's Samsung p400. We will not discuss what it does not have ... but it has one neat feature:
The bundled software enables you to generate sms on your PC and sends it through the Mobile phone. Now this is great because
*You can use qwerty keys & not fiddly mobile ph keypad
*It is sent immediately
*Your no sent for replies
*Your recipients think you really smart at generating sms
*Internet sms sucks
Does this feature exist for the XDA2?
Please tell me it does and I will happily give the p400 back!
Check this software for SMS Managment with PC, it is freeeeee ...:

Microsoft Remote Display Control
Using Microsoft Remote Display Control, you can control a Pocket PC using a window on your desktop PC. You can see the Pocket PC's screen in a window on your desktop PC. And your keystrokes and mouse clicks on that window are sent to the Pocket PC. So you can do more than just sending SMS from your desktop PC.
Looking forward to try it
Thank you!
And there is an add-on for the outlook that O2 provides (it works great in Ireland but don't know in other countries) that you can send an SMS to anyone in your contacts. No need for mobile/XDA, nothing...ahh and it's free !
And here is a link, it's called "Desktop Text":
http://web.o2.ie/portal/business/enhanced_business_solutions/desktop_text/
If you have access to your pc do a search on google for "free sms" there are a bunch of sites that give free sms through the pc on the web.

Hi Jargon,
I'm interested in using that software called MS Remote Display Control but when I tried going to the link you provided, I can't find any download that pertains to it. Could you help me which link to go? Thanks

Hmm nice language option there.... The screenshots look like they come from a hybrid SP Studio (free)/Jeyo Mobile Companion program.
SP Studio is Chinese but if you can find it in English its free and works well. The only problems are that you need to run a program on the xda 2 when you want to start using it so it connects and it doesnt support sms messages longer than 160 characters. The makers of SP Studio then went on to make "version 2" but renamed it to Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.0 available at www.jeyo.com. Its based on the same program but all of the limitations are gone and its properly translated. However its not free. Ive bought a copy myself and it works great, however steer clear of the Outlook version they make as its still very buggy for most users. Ive used a few sms managent programs and Jeyo is my favourite not only because of the send from pc feature you are looking for, but it can backup and restore all the sms messages on your phone cleanly and easily.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that would let me simply just send sms messages via the computer so i can type them using my keyboard?
I experimented with pocket controller, but its too bulky and slow and just emulates the screen, all i need is a simple sms message sender.
Check the Jeyo software:
Jeyo Mobile Companion
Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook
SMS cool from Aim Productions lets you send sms from your pc.. it should be out soon if it not already.

I'trying to use Jeyo Mobile Extender with Outlook2003 but after the installation I can't see any change on my Outllok toolbar... :-(

Seeing as you're on Vodafone you may want to check with them. They have created a little plugin for Outlook - in the UK anyway - that allows you to send SMS's from your PC and either have replies sent to your PC or phone. Its free - in the UK - until the end of the year and I presume will be standard SMS cost after that.
Its called Vodafone text centre which you should be able to find on www.vodafone.co.uk, sorry I don't have the link on me.
Pocket controller I use at the office and home, brilliant I think it is.
Quick google later, Linky
Will have to give it a try later
Sending SMS messages using computer
Try this program, Dr Neils SMS Utils, its free and you may donate to support Dr.Neils efforts.
You need to connect your PPC with Active Sync and the DNSMS utils will fetch all your sms inbox . You can use the same interface to send them too. Nice utility.
The only problem it will look for contacts in outlook. if your contacts are not synched with outlook then you would have to type the phone number as well.
if you have installation problems try downloading and installing the .Net Framework. from Microsoft website.
post your feedback to help others too.

yah you have to right click on the top tool bar and select sms for it to show.. something else i did as well to make it appear but forgot w
hat. i'm pretty sure its included in the readme which is there for a reason. :lol:
I think Jeyo is crap. The software is buggy, doesn't work for me and also doesn't receive SMS stored in subfolders. The developers know about this issue but haven't corrected it for months now. In my opinion, it's just a bad software.
so what would you recommend is better? also heres a firefox extension to send sms through google, i think it only works in the US and UK.
http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/extensions/sendtophone/
Jeyo mobile extender works fine for me with one exception:
it won't read the address book (fully patched Outlook xp)
Sends and receives OK if you manually type numbers in but once I hit the adress book or "to:" button, outlook becomes unuseable.
I think it is a security issue where mobile extender wishes to access the address book. Normallyy a window will appear and ask for permission, however with jeyo Mobile Extender this doesn't happen.
Buggy buggy, time to uninstall unless anyone has experienced similar and has a work around?

It sent messages and got my current inbox ok, but when I received a message with the phone connected to Active Sync, the software didn't notify me. :?
Even going to Sent then Inbox didn't refresh the new message.
sms thru pc
im using jeyo 1.0.2 and it works fine... to activate menu, go to view > toolbars > and check sms ... no problem either w/ my contacts
gil
Observation:-
When the Wizard is plugged into the PC via it's USB cable, Active Sync checks both the PC and the Device and synchronises all Files, Folders and Exchange/Email data between both.
Hypothesis:-
Presuming that the synchronisation is driven from the PC and not the device, the PC uses commands to push and pull data from the device including Exchange stuff. The device allows all data transfer with no questions asked.
Hypothetically speaking it should be possible to activate all the commands used to push/pull (send/recieve) SMS from the device, allowing a user to run a piece of software while the phone is connected to the PC which will grab all SMS's from the device and display them on the PC.
This would allow people to send/recieve/file/delete SMS's from their PC which would be much quicker, neater and easier than from the device itself.
Conclusion:-
If someone has a list of the commands used for SMS functions I'd be happy to look into the possibility of programming such a piece of software for the community... That is of course unless there's already software out there with this functionality.
Well, there's...
http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
...but it only adds SMS capabilities to Outlook, really.
Another workaround
I know it's not as nice as an intergrated product would be, but I use the "Windows CE Remote Display" from Microsoft successfully with my device and just remote in to send/recieve my sms's on the xda's Inbox software, with a 2x Zoom and some predictive typing the process is almost flawless, even with a little bit of lag over the USB 1.1 connection.

It has been done by someone else already
Have a look here.
Yeah this would be really great and IMO should be part of the package.
I mean if the phone is activesync'd then it should route all communications to the host pc. A few years back I had a Sony Ericsson and connecting to my pc via bluetooth with FMA was a dream - sms's would popup with a nice interface (akin to msn messenger), and calls handled by the speakers/mic...
To be honest its a bit of a shame that nothing (that I can find) allows this kind of integration with WM5 considering that integration is one of the plus points...
Perhaps in time it will happen...
SMS Utilities
Has anyone tried some of the SMS utils listed on the site scaw posted? Seems there are a couple that offer SMS from the PC. Not sure about speaker and mic capabilities though.

Nice site scaw!
Thanks guys!
I'm using "Dr. Neil's SMS Utils" now and it's saved me a lot of code research
My LCD broke on my Wizard (8125). There were a few saved SMS messages
with some inportant information in them as well as a few that were unread.
Other than the LCD the phone works fine - I'm using the internet sharing from
it now to write this post ( I mapped it to a button before the screen broke so
that I could get to i quickly to get me laptop online when out an about.)
What I want to know is this: Is there a way to retrieve those saved and
unread SMS messages using my WinXP PC and Active Sync, or any other app
that I can run from the PC itself since I can't see anything on the device?
Anyhelp would be much appreciated. Oh its a G3 unlocked device running
the 3.3 AKU that lead to the ROM archive being taken down if that helps.
I think a program called Jeyo Mobile (or something similar) does that. I havent used it, but I'm sure I read about it somewhere.
You could also try to use a remote desktop application such as SOTI's Pocket Controler which lets you use your PDA on the desktop like you would use the real one ...
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
i have used both Jeyo and Soti, and they both work really well.. but the one problem with Soti is that you need to install it on the phone before it can be used. if you have some type of software to take a screenshot of the phone, that may work too. good luck

I just installed this free Outlook add-in from M$ and it was supposed to be something to send sms through PC, backup sms, something like what Jeyo Mobile extender does (my assumption because I still can't get it to work with my wizard).
Anybody know how to make this thing work?
I'm stuck in the "Options >> Select Mobile Phone" and my wizard does not show up even though I have it connected via USB and Active Sync.
this is the link to the plug in

I am currently investigation exactly the same, with exactly the same problem.
It looks like we have to install the modem drivers for our respective devices (Kaiser for me) in order for the phone to appear on the list, as implied by the "modems" button.
However I don't have any experience beyond the fact that in various different modes the phone can appear to the OS as various different devices for various different comms purposes, and it only connects with ActiveSync in certain modes.
This leads me to wonder if it is actually possible to install the modem driver to allow the sending of SMS messages using Outlook, while at the same time remaining connected to ActiveSync in order to maintain a connection to my PC/Exchange.
Any additional tips would be appreciated.
Use icq
j/k.. i'm gonna try it and see...
Not for PPCs
Won't work for PPCs, this is useful for regular mobile phones not Windows Mobile powered. For that you will need something like Jeyo or Pocket SMS. Sorry folks.
Any luck on this? Still trying to figure it out :s
I doubt there is any solution on this. I played on it for a bit and now agree with what Kull is stating.
Aggreed. Went to Jeyo Mobile Companion instead.
