Greetings
I have been using a program called "Skebby" for sometime now it is originally Italian, but there is an english version for it.
its a J2ME program that is used to send SMS through web and it is really CHEAP! (well not really SMS but it could be used to send SMSes)
if you message some one (or some people) alot everyday the normal SMS could cost alot, and the email/IM would cost too (if you dont have a good a data plan).
so you install skebby, and your friend(s) install it and you can exchange messages with a really cheap price, (one KB per message, up to 1600 characters each message).
I know there are alot of those IM/Messaging programs, .. but i have not seen a program that spends so little as this, .. it is really implemented in away that uses minimum data consumption.
Original website (Italian): http://www.skebby.it/
English Version Program: http://www.getjar.com/mobile/28239/free-sms-skebby---eng/
Update: a registration is required to use the program, but the registration is free!
Happy messaging
cheers!

hi
i have a big problem, and i'm searching for a program...
i have a vodafone d2 sms-volume-package, 250 sms free per month, but i can't see how many sms i've send, because only the normal messages are displayed in the entrance so i can't see how many real sms i've send.
now i want:
an today plugin tool, where i can fill in the number of sms free for the month, and then the programm subtracs the number of sms from the 1. of each month so that i now how many sms left for me ?!
looks like this:
Free SMS: 250 - Send: 43 - Left: 207
please help me..

tag,
i would do this, i have experience in c# but somehow i cant setup a phone application, and i only get my xda mini tomorrow, so
if someone can tell me how to create mobile applications with the visual c# express (the free one) edition, help me out and i will do some applications
Try this
Try this Today Plugin (am using it on my O2 mini)
If you dont like it, can uninstall too
@Rockviech
You can't develop progs with the express edition because it does'nt have the required compact framework in it. You need the standard edition.
Hi,
i do need such a tool for my pocket pc WM 5 as well but the above tool freezes device. Even i cant setup or change anything in the tool for volume sms account (e.g. amount of SMS).
Is there any other useable tool out which is worth to buy or maybe free?
TIA,
Falk
Hi,
Check out phoneAlarm - it has SMS count and also allows setting Monthly free SMS in the billing options.
Are there any other SMS counters that will work with O2? DK doesn't, as O2 doesnt allow delivery reports. And Phonealarm slows down my phone too much.
Cheers
This app will be for all wm devices.
This is an ongoing project that is in need of some of you guys expertise. The rom of the treo 750v has been dumped and is in need of hacker and developers. The treo 750v has features that NO OTHER wm device does. Like the threaded sms messaging, which is sms in a chat style form.
http://www.palm.com/sg/products/smar...messaging.html is a little more about how it works and what it does.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279758 is a thread in the xda-treo forum, but I feel need to be here due to the fact that it will be for all wm devices and is in need of developers and hackers.
Attached is the rom dump.
Thanks, Cody
in many countries you pay pr. sms much more then you'd pay to send text over grps so for most ppl msn, skype or other IM clients would do the same thing only much cheaper
I am really not sure what the hype is about. Haven't used SMS in a long time a with 100MB data package, I have to agree with Rudegar even the built in MSN messenger is better.
Any way I thought you should know that what you posted is not a ROM dump and cannot be used to extract the app.
Interesting you say that. If you have kids sms messaging is almost a requirement. It is extremely popular with the younger generation. I find myself using it more and more. I have friends that send over 3k sms messages in a month. A threaded sms app sure makes it a much better experience.
The rom dump thread was moved by someone over to the treo section for those wondering where it went. The dump is on the ftp server.

I played with the rom dump yesterday. The messaging app does load, just seems to be missing some resources and/or registry entries that I'm not prepared to import right now (test machines all being used already).
It also appears to be fixed at 240x240, although that can probably be fixed later.
The rest of the rom - doesn't contain many intersting .exes, but I know hannip is interested in a number of the other devices and drivers installed. They don't appear to be device specific (c.f. many eten files are).
In the UK, data contracts are very expensive, and you get loads of SMS bundled in your contracts, so SMS makes sense. I don't IM from my phones. But both have their uses.
But I still can't see the fascination with threaded SMS. It'd be quite straight forward to program even if the treo app can't be sucked out.

PS Whoever dumped the roms to begin with, many thanks!
However, we may need to get an overview of the databases on the device as well, in case there are any custom databases. The speed dial plugin that has thus far been elusive relies on a call db. Either a device backup (using sprite etc) or a database dump would be useful to check. Just a guess, might lead to nothing.
Thanks vijay for all of your assistance! Good to hear that the sms app loads. I've been trying to get the a2dp dll's to work on my treo 700wx and 700w devices just to get my feet wet. Having some issues getting the dll's to load, but with your help I might figure this out yet.
The excitement for the 750 sms app over the other threaded sms apps out there is the clean integration with the os and today screen. I've tried other sms threader apps and they are buggy, don't grab messages when the pda is suspended, and leave copies of sms messages in poutlook. The one from triangle powers is a .net app and loads extremely slow because of it. It is expected that the palm written app will solve all of these problems. Plus it handles mms pictues, audio etc.
i dont say i dont use sms i just say i use sms as sms's as in short message service msg's
not as chat because i dont see the point of using it as chat
of cause if you dont pay pr. each sms
and want to chat with somebody who dont have msn it's usefull i guess
but another issue is the delay if that person is on a different network then you heard that compeating phone companys are not always too snappy to route to eachother

Well, I'm someone who wants the SMS chat program badly.
Understand, it's not so much that you use like an IM program, you don't.
This is just a method by which to organize your SMS conversations e.g. say you and your friend over the day send back and forth to each other 20 messages, all releated to the same thing. Now throw in 15 more random SMS from other peopel in the same day. Your inbox would be a mismash of 20 something messages (assuming you don't delete every single one, maybe there is important info you need).
This program would "group" your SMS into a single "chat style thread", like and IM history would. You can then just delete the entire thread at once when you are done with it. It's also nice to keep that previous information handy, especially if your discussing plans, information, phone numbers etc. You just scroll up to find it again.
If you're a heavy texter, this is a great way to organize your back-and-forth conversations. It's not an IM replacment, so don't think of it as that.
In my case I use it as a compliment to AIM. I have AIM forwarding all of my IM's to my cell phone when I am away. That way my friends and family can msgs me anytime anywhere. My phone/pda can remain in suspend mode conserving the battery and I still get my IM's. I can reply to them just like an IM session. No need for the AIM client on my phone.
The best thing about using sms over an IM client is that you can communicate with anyone that has a cell phone. You don't have to tell someone to register with an IM server to send them messages. It works in suspend mode. With a nice sms chat app the only advantage an IM client has over it is the messages are more instantaneous. But for phone use that is acceptable imo.
Of course this all assumes you don't have to pay on a per sms basis.
Hi! theloanranger said he extracted the 750v threaded app already. It's at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035112&posted=1#post1035112
Can somebody try it and post the screenshots please? I'm so looking forward to using it with my Pocket Loox T830 (not arrived yet)
Screenshots/Need some help!
Screenshots are found here:

NOTE: Some of us are having issues. We CANNOT send an SMS to an email address. We get an error message:
"Could not send message. The message center number or the email center number is invalid. Please contact the wireless operator."
Now, in the SMS app, if you go to Menu --> Options --> Advanced tab
Network Configuration/Manual/Edit...
You'll see spots for "message center number" and "email center number" and both are blank. When you put in a number (such as found here: http://www.smsfre.com/SMS-Mesaging-Centers.htm ) they do not stick after hitting "OK".
Any help/ideas?
Hi,
I`m looking for an application, which I can use to send texts trough carriers website.
Many network carriers offer sending free texts from their websites (sometimes without logging in, sometimes with).
I`m interested in, because I`d like to use it for sending texts abroad for free.
I know that I can go to carriers website using Opera (or any other browser) and do it, but it takes time and makes it all a bit complicated.
I`d like to put the number and message and then press send, app. picks up that it`s an international number of recipient and forwards it to set earlier carriers website(without launching Opera) and sends it.
I`ve got 100 free texts every month trough my carriers website and I can use them to send texts abroad.
Maybe, there is something already as described above?
I had a very similar application on my desktop PC, it was called SMS Pilot and it did the trick on my home PC.
I`ll buy a case of "amber nectar" for it.
Cheers.
i like the idea but i think there are flaws in it in some cases. for example i can have up to 2messages free per day from vodafone.
the problem would be that as soon as you have used up those messages, sending another will fail..
you could solve it though..
1. just have the program give you the option to use normal txt mode or through carriers website
2. have a daily/monthly sms counter, maybe with a reminder so that you know what you have left..
anyway, loving the idea
hi!first of all sorry for my poor english.... the solution exist yet!!! i know two programs. one is java "skebby" the others is java and in beta test for windows mobile, the name is jack sms. i don't konow if they support the porvider you need. you can easy find if they do what you need. bye
I heard that there is a way that you can schedule your text messages, in other words if you wanted to send a message 3 hrs from now you can write the message now and then set the time you want it sent. I was wondering if anyone has the link or cab file that will let me be able to do this.
thanks
Seriously?
You know, it takes less keystrokes and mouse clicks to use the search feature than it does to post a thread.
Try the first link
Trinket Software makes an application that does just that. It's called PowerSMS. It's a paid app. Costs $9.99. (a steep price imo). Available in Marketplace and here: http://www.trinketsoftware.com/PowerSMS/ There's a trial available as well.

I understand why someone would want this feature to schedule Sms... i too am not completely loyal with my gf, and at times when im with someone else I need to get away to txt her.... If you have a program like this, u can check in without checking in lol.... now the real question... could someone make a AI (artificial inteligent) auto respnder.. that could reply with sense other txts messages heheh... cheers
power sms
theres an app in the market place..you can buy it for 99 cents its called power sms!
power SMS
I use power SMS and it works perfectly.
the free sms app is not good. it doesnt support landscape, and the keyboard pops up when u search contacts to add to ur scheduled sms.
go with powersms, its only a dollar on the marketplace but 9.99 online. (lol)
On windows smartphone 2001 onwards to windows mobile 5/6
(if anybody still remembers the past pocket pc derived smartphone os)
i had virtually unlimited text storage with vastly smaller amounts of internal memory.
Its the same with good old symbian if you have an external memory card..
The wave has 555mb dedicated for storing sms, ems, email etc for messaging.
Why did they limit it to 1300 text messages only when text is such a small format much smaller than mms and email, and 555mb is a lot for storing messages.
I remeber when i had 10,000 text messages on my windows smartphone, an imate sp5m, it took the phone 30 minutes to delete all my messages when i executed the command.
This is what i miss from windows 6 even if the gui was shot (needed a stylus)
windows 6 was really good for messaging and with HTC sense i didnt go into the phones inner operations so often and didnt have to use the stylus frequently.
But upon looking into the sms file it was only 8mb in size.
(lets not compare this to the early years of IOS or Android. This is the reason why i only gave up my touch diamond with windows 6.1 late last year. the unlimited text and contacts storage was really great for business and sales use.
i seriously thought of going android but i got a good deal on this wave 8500.
i didnt know there were limits on installing programs, or limited text storage and limited contacts because there was no mention of this in the early reviews. `
im not regretting the purchase though because i thought there were ways to hack it to support more text, contacts, programs but no luck.
still love the cam, screen, hummingbird and body.
its like a beautiful but not overly educated chick, body is more than able (hardware) but lacks a bit in the knowledge area (bada) and its limited in the phone aspects thats very important like as i said again contacts, text message storage and amount of programs that bada 1.2 can install.
There are plenty of FREE practical utilities and programs that cant all fit in the 10 page menu of bada 1.2
Is there anyway to adjust this limit of 1300 text messages to at least 5000 text messages?
My outlook contacts have increased over the years from my sp100 windows smartphone (10 years ago) to over 2000 contacts.
I have long conversations or threads with people who ask me about the products i sell so no wonder i can fill up the 1300 limit in just three weeks.
I do have FREE unlimited text messaging and calls with my network service provider but only for other subscribers of the same network.
Try This...And tell me if it works!
Link points increasing text recipients
Thanks but the link you posted is about increasing text recipients.
I did find out that by going to messages then changing to folder view that messages can be backed up on the memory card.
Its not the real answer but its a good work around while im waiting for bada 2 to be finalized.
