Hi all,
My problem seems pretty simple but I can't seem to find the right answer/software.
I have 2 phones, one for work and a personal one which is a G1. When I go into the office I take my G1 with me but I leave it in my bag on silent as I can be away from my desk a lot and carrying 2 phones around is a pain. This leads to missed calls and so. I've tried searching for something that can help but there are so many programs and posts that are more to do with missed call notification light colours and things like that and it makes it difficult to find anything relevant to what I want. Also, I don't really want to use call forwarding if I can help it.
So, does anyone know of a program which can SMS details of a missed call to another phone and also forward SMSs that I receive to another phone? I'd simply like a program that I could run whenever I also put my phone on silent.
Thanks for your time in advance

ike i said, i need a program that i can pretty much seem to im people, but i need to do it over text messaging. anything would be useful
bumpo.....
no one knows how to do this? do i really have to go buy a new phone for this? this is ridiculous...
How about PocketCM.
It arranges text messages in a thread like fashion.
The texts received from a number show in one colour, with your replies underneath in a different colour.
Worth trying maybe?
VERY much, thank you sooo much
i tried it on the phone but it doesnt support sim contacts... anthing else?
If you register for AIM mobile, you can setup your screen name to be online 24/7 and it'll fwd IMs to your phone. Only problem is there's no buddylist, and you can't really initiate conversations, only reply.
i really need something that i can initiate the conversation, but how do i sign up for it?
bumpooooooo
When i receive an new email through activesync push (exchange 2007) i have enabled the option to display the message on screen and sound notification but the screen doesn't turn on automatically like when you receive a new SMS so basically its almoste impossible know when you receive a new email.
Can i change this somehow to act like when an SMS is received and turn on the screen ?
thank you
so basically there isn't a way for that ?
Yeah, also noticed that.
Would be nice to have a solution for that.
@Work i have my phone on table and sound/vibrate disabled.
So the only way to see a message is when screen turns on.
Ok, there's the LED, but in a bright room it can take hours till u notice that.
I googled this issue a lot, no luck.
I just get sound and vibrate, no screen message.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who find this odd
I was hoping it was fixed/added on WM6 but its not
Strange that no one has notice or even make a query about this in Microsoft, i find it completely stupid not to act the same way as an SMS/MMS since nowadays i use more the email than texting.
Lets hope for someone to do something about this if its possible
this is killing me!
any hard code developer can do something about this ?? it must be a way to trigger the same procedure that SMS uses in order to turn on the screen or something.
please please for this!

You'd think that Pocket MSN would also do the same wouldn't you? But it doesn't
this is by far the stupidest thing for the WM. I really can even begin to think why they did this, who is the genius behind this idea ?!?
Hell I think its a good idea. I'd hate my screen to come on everytime I got an email! I get a lot of email so that would majorly suck!
Yesbut why not just have it as a selectable option, that would make more sense!
exactly, at least put an option for it! email should be treated like SMS nowadays. yould you prefer creamhackered not to turn on the screen when you reseive an SMS ?
Hi All,
I don't know if this as been posted before, i couldn't find it if it was.
I'm looking for an app which will take voice mail and record it right on the phone when i miss a call. I've seen it for S60 phones but never for WinMo. I've been looking for almost a year off and on but have never found anything near what i want. If anyone has seen it send me the name please, it would be a great time saver.

Grandcentral?
I don't know if you'd be interested in all that it entails but check out http://www.grandcentral.com as a possible solution. It's not exactly what you're after but may work out for you....
Hey, thanks for the link. I think i may have found what i'm looking for! I have not tested or installed this yet, i'm at work. I'll be installing it over dinner and putting it to the test. Heres the link:

I've been using Callwave: http://www.callwave.com/landing/mobileVisualVoicemail.aspx?r=NONE
Again, it's not exactly what you said, but you can set it to send you and email with attachment which you can save to your phone.
I was using SimulScribe/SimulSays, but their customer service is atrocious. So bad that at one point the CEO emailed me to apologize for how I was treated after reading the email exchanges only to ignore my response email asking if my lost voicemails could be recovered. I guess the answer was no.
The other nice thing about Callwave is that it will transcribe your voicemail (good for reading messages while you're in meetings). I don't know if that's free longterm however.
i'll be interested to hear how the isecretary worked out...
HI,
I haven't had a chance to really test it out yet, I've been super busy. I did test it when i first downloaded it and i think it may have deleted all of my contact #'s. Not sure it was the program or something i did as messing with my phone seems to be my new habit. At present i can record a message from an incoming call but i'm having trouble getting the greeting to play. Adjusting the settings may be all thats needed but i don't have the time to do it yet. If i get it under control i'll post what i did to get it to work.

I just signed up for a new contract with a new number and everything. my old line is still going to be active for about a month though since everyone has that phone number for me. I was looking for a program that I could put on the phone that would automatically send an SMS with a short message with my new number to anyone who calls or text my old number. anyone know of anything?
i know there is spb mobile phone suite... and i know mortscript would actually make a script that would auto do it anytime the phone isn't answered
if you have magicall its could do something like that also
Would you happen to have the link to the script for the auto reply with spb mobile phone suite?

you could use the freeware tool SMS Notifier. It's not really intend to be used for what you need, but you can change the settings to use is as you requested. but it will only work for incoming calls, not for incoming sms's. different other auto reply programs exists, probably there will be some that can auto reply on sms too.
I have the same kind of issue. I have my old cell forward all calls to my new cell but I have to keep checking for text messages that people send to the wrong phone. Has anyone ever found a good solution for this? I am not planning on getting rid of my old number as it is a personal one and I want it in case I leave the company I am working for.
Thanks

Ask your service provider if they provide SMS Redirection...Because when i switched from My Vodafone they had this Option so it wasent big for me
Call forwarding???
I have AT&T and want to keep my phone active.
I searched for all kinds of different words hoping to find a quick but simple install that will fix my problem, but I kept finding these full blown applications that do WAY more than I need.
The phone already has ringtones for individual people, but I get system pages from the servers at my office and I'd like to set an SMS ringtone to those that will silence them. I still want the SMS from my friends, etc to come through with the default tone.
I haven't tried it, but would setting a silent ringtone in the contact silence the SMS for that contact too? I thought that was exclusively for voice calls.
Is there something simple I can use rather than buying one of these huge packages that have profiles and more advanced settings than I can shake a stick at? Should I just suck it up and get Ringo or something like it or is there something much simplier that is free that anyone is using? I only want the one e-mail address to be silenced.
(And this is on WM6.1)
Man, I am in EXACTLY the same situation.
I tried Ringo Mobile and it's a piece of junk; didn't work half the time. Was a pain to remove.
The other is phonealert, which is just too much overkill and it didn't work either. I wanna barf.
One thing I've noticed is many of these don't know how to handle SMS messages sent from an email address.
Maybe if they had a "reverse group" logic. That way I could set my default alert to be something loud while every other SMS message played something else.
I'd gladly fork over $20 for something that does this, and that works.
Found one that actually works!!!

$15 bucks.
Has a trial, but worked on an SMS alert from an email address.
FINALLY!!
I've downloaded the trial. It does appear to be working with the e-mail addresses though. Whew!
Thank you very much for the lead! This is very helpful.
