I have been trying to find how to use numbers recived inside an SMS to call or send message to. This feature is available in Symbian, BB and Android where if someone sends you someone else's number, you can simply call or copy it from within the SMS. My HD2 doesn't show any of the option.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I use forward message, and than is to possible select and copy text, number from message...
In the SMS where the number is contained, simply touch the number and keep your finger pressed for a few seconds, a menu should pop up and bingo.

EVery mobile phone I've had will let me dial phone numbers that are embedded in SMS messages that I receive as long as the phone number is in quotes. Eg, Please call Jon on "04144444444" Is there a way to do this on the XDA II Mini? Is there an add on program that'll let me do this or a special way to format incoming messages? I use a message service that sends me SMS alerts with the persons call back number in it. Thanks.
Anyone here familiar with the software on the Treo that will allow you to reject an incoming call & immediately send the caller a text message? Is there a way to get that functionality somehow for a non-Palm device? I saw where the threaded SMS app was extracted and thought this might be possible also.
Anyone?
Thanks,

i have a app like that on my wizard, its called SMSNotifier.. i dont have the cab, but in the about section it lists http://blogs.msdn.com/aalialikoski so i did the legwork, lol go to http://aalialikoski.members.winisp.net/BlogContent/Projects/SMSNotifier/default.htm
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything.
Is there a tool that can automatical convert a received SMS to another event? Why I am asking this, I get a SMS for each new message on my voicemail, but I would like to use the Titanium voicemail counter. So my idea was if it is not possible to convert according to sender number or even message text.
Another use case could be the messages I receive if my phone was off. I also get a SMS that tells me that the caller didn't leave a message on the mailbox. Could this be converted directly into a missed call under WM?
Maybe someone knows if anything like this is existing. Or if not, how difficult this would be to program. Thanks!
So after all the replys I guess there is not tool existing...
But can mybe someone give me a hint how this could be realised. Thanks!
Hi,
in all Android builds I have tried it is the same. When I go in certain contact which have several numbers, I also have Send message link for each number, even though some numbers cant recieve sms and such (home numbers). Is there a way to remove this and perhaps made it something like in WinMo to have a switch for default SMS number. Sometimes it is very confusing to find a right button for SMS and often make mistakes sending the messages to wrong one.
Has anyone been able to successfully make outgoing calls through Google voice on their Sony Ericsson Arc?
I've done some searches on Google and this forum and it appears others are experiencing the same issue but there isn't a workaround yet.
Thanks in advanced!
Yes, I have been able to make calls with the Voice Search function. It works very well, similar to Vlingo.
Simply say CALL 'contact name'. If the 'contact name' has multiple phone numbers(work, home, cell, etc) it brings up a pop up box and you select the one you want and it dials.
Or you can simply say CALL 'contact name' HOME and it will find the home number and dial it direct.
Now for my question in the Google Voice search. It has to do with sending an SMS message. I am using the stock SMS app. If you say TEXT "contact name" MESSAGE "how are you?" it will send a text message to your contact with the message "how are you?"
Your contact gets the message but a copy of what you sent is not in SMS for that contact. I tested this a couple of three ways. My contact gets my message just fine and I can get their response in SMS like a normal message but I can not see what I sent them. The only exception to this is if you are already in SMS and in the text box and using a keyboard (such as Swype) that has a microphone button, if you speak your message while in the text box it will save a copy of what you sent in the SMS.
Otherwise if you are outside of the SMS program and use the Voice Search to send a text message your contact gets the message but you do not get a copy of the text that was actually sent.
Anyone else try this yet?
Using voice control to start a call is not the same as using Google Voice to make a call - Google Voice is Google's VOIP service which can be integrated into Android handsets.
