sms + call

Hi, i need to make a call with a number received from an sms, or to the sender of the sms. I need to add a prefix too and i cannot save the number on my address book.
Is there any program to do that?
thanks

i know what you mean. some phones have the highlight function of msgs, so when you recieve a number in an sms it automaticly highlights it for editing or calling. but what i do, is open the message, forward it and then you can edit it before you send a forward. from there highlight the number you want, copy and paste it into a new contact card. if theres a simpler way i'd love to know. maybe we can all bug imate/htc about this and they'll add a highlight function. or is the messaging app the same on all windows mobile phones?

This is a simpler way:
- open the sms and underline the number and press copy.
if you want to call it
- press the green button.
if you want to modify it
- paste into a note and modify it
- copy and paste into the phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
a couple quesitons..
when you say underline do you mean highlight? cuz i do that, highlight the number in the text msg and press call and it calls the message sender not the number in the message. also you cant copy it from the message in an inbox, you have to select forward to edit it and then you can copy it there. i was having problems with pasting it in the phone but just realized you have to tap edit on the bottom left then paste, you cant tap and hold to paste it.

Anyone know a faster way to send sms text message

So i changed from the 8125 to the wing and I have discovered it is much more difficult to send a new text message. You have to go through like 5 different commands...(open the message bar, select text message account, tap menu, scroll to new, scroll to sms) it just seems so tedious so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make it so i can have new message be one of my soft key choices (preferably where the delete soft key is). Its really annoying.
Thanks BP

How about when you install the HTC Home plugin, I HAD one until i bricked my phone yesterday :'( it came with the PDAVIET rom which was released some time ago.
What it does is, it shows on the Today screen a link to Email and one to SMS.
That's probably the fastest way.
Cheers

how 'bout putting the command "new sms" under a softkey ?

Or simply install the program "name" (sorry forgot the name) that puts a "New" menu at your left soft-key in the today screen, from there you can choose sms, e-mail, mms etc.. Just search for New menu

Press Contacts softkey. Scroll to the intended recipient. Tap, hold, pick "Send Text Message". Type text message. Press Send softkey.
What's the problem?

How About VIJay?
Hello,
I use VijaySMS All the time... It allows you to make a shortcut (I use SPB Today so I create the shortcuts in there) that either starts a blank SMS or start one to a specific contact. You can find the program at Vijay's webpage here: http://www.vijay555.com/
Enjoy!

You could set up the Message button to automatically go to your SMS Inbox when you press it.
Messaging Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options...
Select Text/SMS and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging." This will automatically open your SMS Inbox, thus eliminating the first two steps of your problem.

Too much "send" while typing a SMS in landscape

Hello
Did anyone find a trick to ask for confirmation before sending a SMS ?
While I am in landscape the send button is too close to the keyboard, and it happens that I press send instead of a key.
So my SMS is uncomplete.
Thanks

[QNS] Call contact from sms

When I received a sms from a unknown contact, how do I call from number shown in the sms w/o saving the contact first?

When on the Messages tab, click on "All Messages" then find the sender and highlight them. Press the Call key next to the Home key to bring up another screen to verify the number, then press "Call"

That's helpful, thanks...

Calling??????????

Can anyone help or is it the phone. When I call someone you can press the home button and go to other applications, like messaging, mediascape, etc. But if press the dialler button, or retreive call in the notification bar, you can only get that call. How do you access the contacts menu? I needed numbers of people twice and I couldn't go into them without dropping the call first.....

WHen you're on a call and you press the home button... the calls still working in the background and from there then you can press the application screen and then select phonebook, and scroll through your contacts there. Hope that helped.

Yeah, don't click on the Dialer to check your contacts in the middle of a call, go to Phonebook instead in the Apps list.
