Sending contact to someone else

Is there any way to send a contact (Business Card) to another mobile by txt message or bluetooth as there is on other phones?

Sure you can. Open the Contacts application, tap & hold the contact you want to beam and select the 'Beam Contact" option. Alternatively you can use the Tools -> Beam Contact menu.

So, can I send contact (s) via bluetooth?
I understand that you tell us about a irda beaming. it works of couse.
ps. sorry for bad english.

Yes, can you please reply if you know how to send them by txt or bluetooth. Beaming by infra red is covered in the user manual.

I think that is no way to send contacts via bluetooth on Magician, becouse i can do it on my HP2210 just via OBEX exchange (files, contacts), but Magician have no this system
(means OBEX)
Thanks for microsoft for the best bluetooth drivers, that we have on our Magician devices

I also don´t think you can because there is no bluetooth feature in contacts, only beam.
Björn

we need ObjectPush service on Magician to send contacts via bluetooth.
this servise provides possibilities to connect different platformed devices such as SE K700i and HP2210.
this devices successfully negotiating with each other.
i have send a one and a group of contacts.

Beaming contacts with bluetooth
Hi,
Beaming contacts with bluetooth is possible also with Magicians! Just select the contact you want to send, tap it until the menu opens and then select "beam contact".
After that, your magician will search for other devices - ir-devices first, then (presuming you turned on bluetooth before and the desired device is visible) bluetooth devices. This is rather slow, so don't be impatient... :wink:
After a few seconds the name of the other devices around you will be shown and you just have to tap the name to send the contact.
HTH,
BGK

Bluetooth does indeed work. Just done it. Thanks for that
however, what if I want to send someone a Contact to add to her phone when they are somewhere else in the World??

As discussed > > here < < , the old "Nokia" method of SMS'ing the contact to someone won't work. Read the link.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17343&highlight=vcard

this is the real deal!!!
thats all we need!

Thanks Baldboy and everyone else. Just remember...
...to set your numbers with an International prefix otherwise you'll get an error message.

you means the SMS sending?
it's operatrors dependent option.
some Russian operators uses only international prefix +7
some uses both +7 and 8 (russian long distance prefix)

It is quite easy to do this, as it is with files. The only things you need is to check "Receive all incoming data" and a phone or computer which also provides the OBEX Object Push profile.

Dandie, you talking about receiving, but all we thinking about sending contacts
topic's name is - Sending contact to someone else
not receiving but thanks for your participation

Yeah, but when you want to send a contact, you also need a receiver, don't you? So, if you want to send a contact to another Magician (or similar device) you would have to do what I said, because otherwise you would get an unexpected error. But thank you for the indoctrination ...

To clarify the prefix thing...
I sent a contact to my Nokia (in the UK) and always got the "Not Sent (Wapsend)" error message. I then changed the number I was sending to so it included the +44 prefix for the UK and it worked fine. the Nokia didn't need to be told to receive it. Does anyone know of a program that automatically adds the prefix to your mobile numbers? I used to have a Psion revo and there were a couple of apps that did it but I can't find one for the PPC. If not, no worries, I'll do it as and when (which won't be very often)

Sending Vcard via SMS
Go to Messaging, then make sure you are in your MMS account. Create a new MMS without any template. Then when in composing window, press EDIT. You'll see the option ADD VCARD. Look for the vcard you want to attach. Then choose your recipient. Don't add anything else! Don't add a picture, or audio, or even text. I sent one to my wife and she received it on her Nokia 6820.

[APP] Mobile Receptionist 0.931 [2010.04.21] OPEN BETA RELEASE!

What It Does
Mobile Receptionist is a program for your Windows Mobile 5.0+ phone that can handle incoming call, SMS, and email notifications, and execute actions depending on a set of criteria.
How It Works
You configure the Mobile Receptionist via Profiles. Profiles handle incoming events and phone status changes.
Multiple profiles can be enabled simultaneously. For example, you could have one profile automatically forward all incoming SMS messages to an email address for archiving, and another one that responds to all SMS messages and incoming calls while you're at work.
The Full Profile has Rules. Each Rule contains Criteria and Actions. If all the Critiera are met, then all the Actions are executed. There are also Criteria for the Profile, which apply globally to all Rules in the Profile.
The Full Profile has complete functionality and flexibility of Rules, Criteria, and Actions - but there are also specialized Profile types that are streamlined and easier to configure:
A Sms Responder Profile only handles incoming calls/sms and responds to the original caller.
A Event Monitor Profile only monitors events and sends notifications to a set address.
Use cases
Watching a movie: set up rules to respond to missed calls and text messages with an SMS saying you're unavailable and will get back to them later.
Archiving: set up rules to forward all text messages to your email account.
Multiple phones: if you have a work phone and a personal phone, after working hours you could set up rules on your work phone to send SMS to your personal phone if the call/message is urgent.
Remote notification: If you're entering a secure building where you can't bring your phone, but have internet access, set up rules to send you an email every time you missed a call, got a text message, have an upcoming appointment.
Requirements
Windows Mobile 5 or greater
.NET CF 3.5 or greater
Unlimited SMS plan (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Unlimited Data plan (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

This looks like a very good app!
I'm not sure if I'm going to use it, but anyways - like the ídea!

BTW, if you would like to help beta test, shoot me a PM.
Ideal cases are if you have multiple phones, or if you are without your phone but have email for part of the day.

are you developing this app or something man? if so i will be happy to beta test it? looks like a good program. alot of work involved too

This is in active development, and I have a working program - just find all the major bugs before I open it up for a wider release.

I've got a new version to test out, please PM if you want to beta test!

I would love to help beta test this, due to my business this would be the ultimate time saver. I'm glad you're working on this, and I would like to test it in my scenerio.

[email protected]
Have 3 phones 5 differnt sim cards 3 different countries. would be happy to test your application

would be glad to test it:
[email protected]

OPEN BETA coming soon!

looking forward to test it.
Sounds like a great App.

Nearing the home stretch! I finally figured out how to merge my DLLs into a single exe, and learned how to use dotfuscator. I'll do some limited testing in the emus, then release it for open beta.

Keep up the good work.... I look forward to testing this out !!

bump for open beta release! (see first post)

I can't get it to work, installes fine but can't open the program.

Are any errors displayed? What happens when you try and launch it?

have not tested it - but sounds very useful - just some ideas of the top of my head:
an anwering maching
I think there is software that does this but it would fit very well into your 'receptionist' I guess.
Provile based could be 'leave me a message I'm sleeping' or 'I'm at work - please leave a message' based on time.... - will not replace provider 'mailbox' when phone is off or has no network (but I never use that anyway)
location based profiles?
Using gps. Profile based on 'I am within a radius of x around coordinate y' (stupid as we loose signal within buildings) or based on speed auto-sms 'I'm doing xxx mph currently and will not read your message right now'
Ok - I admit - 2nd would be very close to useless...

[CatchMe] Tool to communicate devices using GPS/SMS with no internet connection

DOWNLOAD
Click here to download the latest version
REQUIREMENTS
Devices running Windows Mobile 5 or 6 for Pocket PC or Smartphones
Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5 Download from here
DESCRIPTION
This tool allows you to communicate mobile devices using your GPS and SMS messsages with no internet connection. You will be able to know how far is another phone/target and what direction you need to follow to reach it
Imagine the scenario... you are hiking with some friends in 2 different groups and later during that day you guys want to meet. How do you do that if you got a poor reception and you don't have an internet connection?
This is what happened to me a few days ago. I got signal only for a few seconds and when I tried to make a phone call it was dropped after a while because the quality was very bad.
This program allows you to add targets. You can request the position of these targets by sending a sms message.
If your PDA cannot send the message it will keep retrying every minute.
Once the other end gets the message, CatchMe will start the GPS automatically, get a fix and send a message back to the person who made the request. Again, if there are problems sending the message CatchMe will keep trying until success.
After getting the position of the target, you can start tracking and CatchMe will tell you how far your target is and what direction you need to follow.
OTHER FEATURES
- You can only receive requests from phones that have been added to your list. If you get a request from an unknown phone, the message will be discarded.
- You can also associate your current position to a target. This is useful if you want to mark a checkpoint to come back later. No SMS messages are sent at this point.
- In order to use this with another person, both persons need to run this program!
- You don't need to be tracking when using the program. You only need to do that when you are following a target.
- Auto Start and Stealth modes available
Notes
If you plan to test the program using only one phone, don't click on 'dismiss' when getting your own SMS message until CatchMe has processed the message, otherwise the message will be deleted before the program can access to it.

I just uploaded a new version that also gives you the the estimated time left to reach the target. It also shows kilometers/miles when the distance gets bigger.

Hi Staryon,
thanks for this new software! That's a really good idea. I wish I had today, because a friend of mine could not find us at the beach .
I eagerly look forward when most of my friend have a winmo phone. This tool is just perfect.

Thanks!
If this gets popular I may write compatible versions for regular phones (no windows mobile) so more people can use it.

Woo that would be awesome. But what do you mean by regular phones?

I mean to have a version of CatchMe that can run from phones that are not running Windows Mobile.
At this moment you can still request a position from a device running CatchMe from any phone just by sending the sms catchme|0

Some more information about how CatchMe works...
When CatchMe receives an SMS will check if the incoming number (for example +336abcdefghi )
CONTAINS any number that you have in the target list. For that reason, CatchMe will find the target if you have 06abcdefghi, abcdefghi or any other combination in the list. The reason is done this way is to avoid conflicts with prefixes.
On the other hand, when the program tries to send an SMS it will dial exactly what you see in the target list.

Click to collapse
In the very last version (0.2.2.4), CatchMe refuses numbers with an international prefix. As incoming SMS messages appear with the international prefix on my phone, and as the local number is not contained within the interational number, I have no way to specify a correct phone number in the target list.
i.e.
Incoming SMS messages appear as +336abcdefghi
Local number is 06abcdefghi (notice that 06abcdefghi is not contained within +336abcdefghi because of the 0)
If I try to add +336abcdefghi (which would be correct, I can send SMS messages to these numbers with the Windows GUI), CatchMe refuses. If I add 06abcdefghi, CatchMe doesn't recognize incoming requests because of the +33. And if I add abcdefghi, CatchMe sends the messages to a non-existent number, because the 0 is missing.
In my case, as with all other French users, the only way to have it work is to allow people to enter an international phone number. I don't see why this is a problem anyway and I see no valid reason for CatchMe to refuse this.
Regards
Bertrand

well done man can't wait to try it out, i was very impressed with your track me, i hope this is as good as ur previous release on track me
PS: (does this support singapore numbers? or is it limited to some countries?)

As you just said the number that you use to dial is always different from the incoming number because of that extra digit.
Even if I allow to enter a number with the country code like +336abcdefghi
it wouldn't work because when CatchMe dials that number it wouldn't contain that required 0 that you need in France.
The only way to fix this is to write a specific rule for French numbers. If I detect that the incoming numbers starts with +33, I should add a 0 after that and then the matching will work.
I'm not sure if there are other countries with this problem as well.

It should work for any countries... unless your country has the same problem than French numbers.

ok, I just uploaded a new version that should resolve that issue with French numbers.

Bonjour Staryon,
Thanks a lot for this new software.
The problem is always existing with french number.
In fact the rule is the following :
Il we use the international number : +336abcdefgh it doesn't contained the 0 number. and when we receive the SMS from a french phone, it is identified in Catchme with : +336... without o number.
When we (may) use the national number we use : 06abcdefgh.
In my case, I have entered all my phone numbers in an international number (+336abcdefgh) due to the fact if I am located abroad I can use directly the number phone for calling.
Are there other people from france to confirm ?

Hi erays,
With the latest update French numbers should work ok.
Basically you just need to enter your phones (targets) with this format: 06abcdefgh
By the way, international phones won't work. The library that I use to send sms messages doesn't work with those. So you can only use this program inside your country.

This sounds like a very interesting application.
However after entering a valid TARGET (completely numeric) I can't send my position without receiving an error "Config, You cannot sned a request to a target that is not numeric".
I've even deleted the original datestamp entry and still get the error.
I'm using a Touch HD - any ideas ?

You're right. I just found a bug. Just download the program again and the problem should be fixed.

Thanks, the TARGET error is resolved.
I'll give it a test over the wkend...

great job,hope the new version Supports with map,such as googlemaps or others.

can u please explain further more.
I have a kaiser and my brother has the 5800 Nokia(which has GPS).
So if i send the msg to his number, it will reply with his exact location on my garmin?
So its obligatory for the other number to have GPS.
One more question, If both phones have GPS. Isnt there a way if both parties activate their GPS, they could track each other? Using both GPS as tracking devices?

Hi Staryon,
I tested your app right now, by sending an SMS to myself.
- I entered my number (0151blablabla)
- Click on the "Sent SMS" icon
- CatchMe says that's it's sending the request, with a second appearing short after "Request sent correctly"
- I then receive a kind of flash SMS titled "Message from Network: catchme|0
You said in the first post not to dismiss it, so I waited, but nothing happens. Am I missing something? Is it a problem like the French numbers?
Numbers in Germany are similar, wihtin the country you have to type in 0151... (for example). International prerix will be +49151...
How does the SMS one receives shall look like btw? . Is the SMS "Message from network" a bug or something?
After CatchMe analysed it, what shall happen? The Phone sends a SMS to answer the request? Is this transparent, i.e. does one sees it (confirmation etc.).
Sorry many questions but it's really a cool soft .

Caller ID problem on HTC Touch Diamond2.

I have a huge caller id problem with htc diamond2.
Outlook 2007 and HTC DIamond2.
The problem...
1. My default settings.
My phone numbers are stored without any masks by default in outlook 2007.
Example: Smith, John: +38970333333.
(+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number)
If you dial from another country you will have to dial +38970333333.
After importing all my numbers in HTC D2 contact book the problems started.
Caller ID is not recognizing any incoming number stored by default.
If the incoming number from Smith, John is stored by default as +38970333333 the caller id is only bringing up the short number version 070333333.
Well I was sure that I will fix this with the registry change of the Caller ID match rule.
Caller ID rule: from 8 to 7 (and 6 and 5 .. ) trailing digits for Call ID match.
* HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7 (and 6 and 5 ... )
Immediately after the restart the I faced the fact that I won’t have any sleep in the next few nights.
2. What I found out later was that the only way for caller ID to work was to have a full number stored but with the zero in the area code included ?!!
So now in Diamond2 phone book ,
Smith, John: +38970333333 /(+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number) is now stored as :
Smith, John: +389070333333 / (+389-070-333333 +country code-full area code-phone number)
This way,
a. the caller id works perfectly;
b. when dialing from the phone book, that extra zero (070) is somehow automatically removed ( I can see that while the phone is dialing the number) and there are no problems;
c. when sending SMS from the phone book, that extra zero (070) is NOT automatically removed so sending SMS from the phonebook is NOT working.
SMS can be send only manually with typing:
- the phone number a in full version without the extra zero +38970333333 or
- the phone number in short version with the zero 070333333.
_________
I travel a lot, and advices like "put your number in short version" won’t work for me.
Why that Caller id match rule is not working?
Same default format (Smith, John: +38970333333. (+389-70-333333 +country code-area code-phone number) worked perfectly with my htc diamond1 with CalIidMatch value 7.
At this moment and after few sleepless nights and lots of hours of reading and digging and hard resets, I am out of ideas.
Please advice.
Thanks,
KraFT

Have you tried to save all the phone numbers in this format:
+country (area without zero) local
I have mine all like this and when you use the outlook "form" which you can get by double tapping on the field and put in the data, the phone# will end up like that.

Hi,
Had the same problem - the fix from this link fixed it...

Have you checked it out already?
--Ashwin

I had weird caller ID problems before.
It turns out this was because the first time I started up my device, I didn't have a SIM in there.
When I did a hard reset with a SIM present (and selected Yes when asked to copy the SIM contacts), everything worked afterwards.

Update 9/30/2009 - Fixes, added functionality, and program your own call providers!
I wanted to share a program I've been working on - it's basically an enhanced Caller ID. On incoming SMS or phone calls a window pops up that displays,
- The full name of caller
- Address of caller with a map link
- The number of FTC and caller complaints (to tell if it’s a spam call)
- Telco name and location (can tell what carrier the call is from)
- Relatives of caller (with age!)
- Criminal History
I've also added the ability to add the caller to the contacts book, return the call, and look at past calls. A standalone GUI to run alone and lookup past calls can also be used.
As of v .6, you can make your own call information providers for NetCallerID (and I need help/looking for people to help write providers for international support.). Documentation/HOWTO make a call information provider can be found at
http://www.netcallerid.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=5
Looking for suggestions, changes, additions - definitely let me know and I will happily (and quickly) add them. You can reach me at [email protected]
Release Notes --
- NetCallerID waits until the call is answered or finished before doing the network calls. For the most part, the network connection is unavailable until the phone call is ended.
- If roaming is enabled NetCallerID waits until your out of roaming.
- All history of calls are in the program files\netcallerid\calllogs directory in html format. You can view these with Opera or Pocket IE.
- The setup automatically starts the program. I also put it in \Windows\Startup to start when you re-start the phone.
Download:
http://www.netcallerid.com/get
Instructions:
Just download the cab and run it on the device. It will automatically start and also start on reset. For the msi, install it on the PC, it will be added to your phone when you connect it to the PC. Go under programs and click the netcallerid icon to run the standalone GUI.
This is very alpha. Pre alpha even. I'm not liable for anything, run at your own risk, etc etc etc

this is deffinately interesting.
I tried it by looking up a friend's call and got only the city where their number is registered. I assume that it got that information from the area code.
does this list the names that are already in your contact list?

Yeah, it does, for incoming calls. It aggregates the calls into one display - culling from the address book, whitepages.com, callercomplaints.com, veromi, etc. You can get the list it goes through in the call information providers (and remove/add disable) etc in the configuration menu.
Your friend was more then likely a cell phone number. It got the info from whitepages.com (which got it from the area code). There are some call information providers that can get the cell info, but for the most part, I don't know of anyplace (for free) that you can get cell phone information. If there is was, it's easy to add a new call information provider to support it. I get about a 40% success rate w cell phone numbers (mainly for their relatives).

yep ! this sounds great

I am guessing US...

I missed a bunch of calls this morning and found out that this wolf ate 3.5 of my sheep.
I used DfTaskman and MSTakman to see how much ram this thing ate
DF said 900kb
MS said 3.5mb
Killed the wolf and 3.5 sheep ran free.
hungry beast.

Hmm. Looks like I need to see if it's not releasing memory. I assume you closed the windows that showed caller information and it was still consuming this much memory?

yup i did. looking forward to a fix

Hi I would like to try your apps, I live in Trinidad and my service provider is Bmobile, I install and check the config but found that there are only two locations, is there a way to get my LOCATION and PROVIDER setup?

S.V.I: Will have a fix shortly. Adding a queue that just has one window and as new calls come in you click 'next' to see them. Only one incoming call window, basically. In the meantime you can run the standalone GUI, go to config, then uncheck incoming calls. That way you can still use the standalone GUI and incoming calls won't be processed.
zjxpot: You have two choices... find the web site that returns the caller information and send it to me, i'll add it to my list to support, or add your own. You can go to www.netcallerid.com/support to get info on how to write it

would love to see this for Canada; how can i start researching the webs sites that would carry this info...??
Q: I'm in (country XYZ). Does NetCallerID return caller information for me?
A: Right now NetCallerID just returns information for US phone numbers. Adding your country is somewhat easy <<if you know the web site that takes in the phone number and returns the caller information.>>

Google is your friend maybe search for "canada whitepages" or something equiv. I'll try to look into having more Canada info for next release (since we are so close together and all. That and I'll be in Vancouver for the snow season...)

font too big on TP2
When it tries to display the lookup information the font is way too big on my Tilt2/TP2/Rhodium. I can't seem to scroll or copy and paste the information so it doesn't seem like I can read all the information.
