When a new text msg comes to ur msg inbox folder from an unknown number which is not there in ur contacts list and now i want to store that number. How to do as there is no option to store the new number.
Go to "start", "settings", "personal", "phone", "advanced"......tic box new phone number......
Not 100% sure it does the job when receiving an SMS....and phone number must be visible ofcourse.....not hidden
This is helpful when u get a call from unknown number and you can save it, but it will not work out when u get a sms from unknown number
Tap on the Number from the message view and it shows you the option - Save to Contacts.
Its still not working
When i tap on the msg in msg view i am not getting "Save to Contacts" options
I am getting options like "Delete" "Reply" "Reply to all" "Forward" "Move"
I am using HTC Touch 2 phone.
I use the same phone, Ganesh and I am able to do it.
When you open the msg to read - It shows you the heading on the top line -
Conversation with XXXXX.
The next line reads -
XXXXX (TIME): actual msg displays here.
Now if you click on the second line which shows you the number & time; that will take you to the options of saving address: (in this case the number)
1. Send Email from Outlook
2. Search Address Book
3. Save to Contacts
On clicking the Save to Contacts, it takes you to another screen to add as a new contact or update existing contact.
I am getting it now
I was tapping and holding it for a while so i didnt get the "Save to contacts" options
I just need to tap once and i am getting "Save to Contacts" options
Thanks a lot dude
Glad to be of help.

I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

Hi guys!
I've got a problem sending sms with my Jam:
I write the text... I tap on "send to" and I browse on my contacts... I select one of my contact's number an then I tap on send button.
It works fine and the text is sent!
Well... when I go to sms sent items I can see the text I sent but there is the N I use instead the contact's name!!!! grrrr.....
If I reply one received sms it works fine and I can see on my sent items the name of the sender....
Any idea?
i've also noticed some glitches with sms on the magician, but i dont use the send to function, i just type the first couple letters of the contacts name in the "to" area and the names with those first couple letters will come up, click on the one desired and click send.
I think the reason i'm having problems is cuz i have spb pocket plus which completely exits the messaging app, so i just minimize it instead of completely exiting it.
If you start typing the contacts name in the To: field it gives you the option to autocomplete using their mobile number and will then show their name against the message in sent items. But if you browse contacts it will just use the number against the message in sent items.
fone fanatic, once you send a message wait for the little bubble to pop up saying message sent before you close the application, otherwise it ends up sending the message twice.
How to save contact number from a SMS message?
In Nokia Phone, just choose a command from the Options that says "save details".... How to do this in O2? Any third party program?
Hi emil,
wad i do is,
1. press the green call button after reading your msg. It automatically transfers the number to your dialer.
2. Call and hangup immediatly before they can connect the call.
3. Open the call list, Number you just dialled will be present.
4. Right click on the number and there should be an option of save to contacts.
5. Type in neccessary details for your contacts and wala !!
hope it helped a bit..
thanks man but thats too cruel...unlike nokia hehehehe fast moving world requires fast moving gadgets....
I once have a software that does that but i forgot it....
Hi, This is an easy one but couldn't find anything in the forum searches probably wrong key words, but how do you select multiple receipient when sending a txt msg without having the need to go back to menu - add receipient - there has to be an easier way?
Thanks
After you enter the first receipient, just start writting the name of the secondone in the field To, a list will be displayed with your contacts list, just select the one you want; go ahead untill you have added all the contacts you want.
Hope this help ...
Regards
You can also press select (d-pad center) immediately after selecting a contact while you are in the TO field and it will take you back to your contacts where you can search.
So I had received text message that I wanted to forward. I pressed and held the text, selected "Forward" from the menu, and I get the "to" box and the body, but where are my contacts? I can't select a contact to fwd the message to, can you?
Tapping the "to" box just brings up swype, and taping the little contact icon does nothing.
Help!
update--- okay, so apparently the samsung messaging app on this phone sucks, but fwd'ing happened to be my first run in with it. When I click on messaging from the home screen, then "compose new" @ the top, I can't select from a list of contacts. Instead, I have to start typing out the name of who I want to send it to in the "to" field and find them in the drop down autofill list. Also, the name that appears at the top next to the "contact" icon only shows the first name entered.
So, it would appear this is more along the lines of an annoyance with their program than a bug. Can anyone confirm these issues? Is it maybe just that my contacts aren't synced correctly or something?
