Like the title says. Like let's say I'm browsing the internet and run across a number I want to text. You press the number it goes to the call menu, but I want to TEXT them. Is there a app or some way to fix this??

Hey there seems to be a problem. This one is in a email. Someone emailed me their phone number and said text them... all i can do is click the number and it goes to the phone option. I mean I could call and end the call then send a text from the phone menu but meh the phone should have a option of if you want to text the selected number(like the blackberry been doing the past 5 years....)
So if anyone know of a way to text a number that is in an EMAIL??
Press and hold on the number for options...

I've searched the Fascinate forums for a question on this and came up with nothing, so sorry if this has already been asked earlier.
I just got my Fascinate a few days ago and I was wondering if there was a way you could set a default phone number for each contact? For example, when you click on a contact to call and you have their Home and Mobile phone numbers, it asks you which one you want to call. I think it's somewhat annoying to have to do this each time if you know the majority of the time you want to call their cell phone.
Thanks for any answers!
If you go into your contacts app, select the contact you want to set a default for. Then hit your menu key. At the bottom there will be an option that says "Mark as Default", click that option and then select the phone number/email address you want to use as the default. Now click save. That should do it.
Thank you! By the way, is there a way to call a contact directly from the list of contacts? I know you can swipe your finger to the right over the contact to show the two icons for "Call" and "Message", but is there a way to just directly call the contact with one touch/swipe?
I find the Samsung dialer to be rather lacking. I would highly recommend that you give Dialer One a try. Free app, no ads, and much more customizable.

Actually, after setting the default number, when I press "Call," it still asks me which number to call....
Hi There!
I was wondering if there were any mods to make the dialer/keypad better?
I hate the one that is stock in eclair because there is a delete where there should be a 0. Also it drives me nuts that when you start typing a number and the contact comes up automatically, you can't click once for it to dial, you need to select it then hit dial!
Much appreciated.
I feel stupid, was searching market for dialler not dialer. Can someone recommend one, there are millions!
I would like to know this too...
Coming from an iPhone its a pain to have to select contact then press call on android. (My only android gripe tho!)

You can swipe left on the contact name to dial the contact, or swipe from right to left to send a sms message.

windows mobile had a better dialer! it used call history along with contact list to find matching contacts....really miss that. Another infuriating thing about android is that it chooses home number as default instead of mobile number. besides, i cant tap on the matched contact to bring up options to dial the required number....plain sucks!
every firmware flash, you need to sit and set default numbers all over again...frustrating! but apart from this, android just rocks \m/
I like dialer one from the market.

Hi to all,
I need to change the message centre number because I just enter a program as beta tester in a spanish carrier, but I'm turning crazy, because even the centre number is changed in the sim (I do it easly on my nokia xpressmusic clicking on the settings option for SMSs) when I put the simcard in my xperia play the short message is sent using another centre.
It's very important for me
Pleaseee... Can you help me?
Must I root the xperia play ? I don't know what to do.
What is extremely easy in other phones... here I can't do anything...
or I don't know...
Thanks
You can try entering service menu, from phone dial *#*#4636#*#* then another menu, service, pops up. In phone info you can try to change Smsc and press update.

if you need change de sms centre , you also have to change in the menu just below for the option for the sms centre
and put : Allowed change DNS or similar...
if not, then the system doesn't allow change the number.
Thanks again.

The same thing happens with the nokias C5/03 and Nokia C3
Any brilliant Trick ?
I don't know why manufacters block the introducction of any other sms centre, I mean, you can change it, but when the phone is rebooted the sms number centre is changed...
I've found inside xda-developers for nokias issues, and with no results...
maybe you could help me...

I dont think Nokia have something similar in any menus.
Only way is (what you have done I guess) to change the SMSC settings in SMS configuration.
Press "Menu"
Scroll to Messaging, press "Open"
Press "Options", scroll to Settings, press "Select"
Scroll to Text message, press "Open"
Scroll to Message centres, press "Open"
Scroll to SIM message centre, press "Open"
Scroll to Message centre name, press "Change"
Enter carrier name, press "OK"
Scroll to Message centre number, press "Change"
Enter +XXXXXXXXXXX (SMSC number), press "OK"
Press "Back" twice
Scroll to Message centre in use, press "Change"
Scroll to the carrier you entered and, press "OK".
On my Nexus 4, when I'm creating a text message, how do I insert a phone number from one of my existing contacts into the text message. I could do this on all my old Nokia or Samsung phones (Non smart phones) but can't see how to do it.
Also, is it possible to send one text to more than one contact at the same time. Or at the least can I foward an existing text message to another contact? Again i could do this on my old phones but can't see how to do it on this one
It just seems that the texting functionality on this phone is really basic. Not sure if I can use an app which has more functionality?
Thx

For your first item, I'm not sure that I'm completely understanding. If you start typing a person's name or phone number into the To field it will search through your contacts and pull up any matches. Is that not what you're looking for?
To send a text to more than one person, click back into the To field and then start typing again to bring up another contact. You can also forward and existing message by longpressing (press and hold) on the message and tapping on Forward.
If that doesn't meet your needs, there are plenty of alternative SMS apps. GoSMS, Handcent, etc... provide some extra functionality.
Open your contacts.
Find the one you want the number for.
Long press on the tel number
choose copy to clipboard
Now in the messaging app just long press in the text box where it's inserting what you write
paste

I have noticed that if you click on a number in a text message or a contact, it automatically dials the number. This is a big annoyance for me because I get texts from my paging service and sometimes the numbers are a little messed up like "call back room 501 732-555-1234" If I click that, it dials 501-732-5551 234 which obviously doesnt work. I have to copy, past then delete. My GNex would just go to the dialer but not dial, and I would delete the 501 and then press dial. Also if you accidently touch a number in a contact...boom, your dialing them! Any settings Im missing?
Just if anyone wants this changed too, using things like GoContacts doesn't change anything, it still just automatically dials. Wonder if there is a simple mod for this someone could look for.
