Quick question, I need to periodically send a contact via text message. I currently have an HTC and can send the contact as an mms. My wife's galaxy 3 will only send them as a .vcf file which needs to be imported in to the receivers contact list. This does me no good. Is it possible to send just the contact info, ie: name and number in the message like the HTC or does Samsung only allow the .vcf file? I plan to purchase a G4 in the next few weeks.

What is O2 SMS Plus?
O2 SMS Plus is an alternate SMS application to the Inbox application that lets you send and receive SMS using a chat style user interface, send and receive vCard contacts via and send SMS to group of recipients.
What are the benefits of using O2 SMS Plus to send SMS over using Inbox?
Inbox does not give you a single view of incoming and outgoing messages. You have to switch between Inbox and Sent Items folders to get all the dialogs you had with your contacts. O2 SMS Plus can list both incoming and outgoing text messages in the save view. You can have a filtered view of all the text messages between you and a particular contact. It lets you chat with your buddy continuous by SMS without you having to type in your buddy?s phone number repeatedly.
What other benefits do you get from O2 SMS Plus besides its SMS Chat function?
O2 SMS Plus lets you send the same text message to all your buddies at the same time. You just need to organise your contacts into different categories from Outlook on your desktop and synchronise them to the device or assign them directly from your device. In addition O2 SMS Plus lets you schedule your SMS to be sent at a later date. The find function lets you retrieve text messages that contain a particular text string and the vCard function lets you send contact data from your PIM to other phones support vCard SMS function.
Where does O2 SMS Plus save text messages it sent or received?
O2 SMS Plus uses the same Inbox database for storing and retrieving messages.
How do I start O2 SMS Plus?
Tap Start > Program > O2 SMS Plus to start O2 SMS Plus.

Hi,
I have a question.
I synced my contacts from my MS Outlook via active sync to my phone.
When I create a new SMS, I key in the name of the recipient who has both email address and phone number. When i select it and send the message, it sends out as MMS instead of SMS.
Is there a way to set default to send all in text SMS and not MMS? this does not happen if the recipient does not have an email address in the contact.
Tried calling HTC hotline, they don't seem to understand the issue.
Can someone please advise?
no one encounter this?
i tried creating the dummy contacts on the phone. it will show up but sync from outlook, it will not work.
I recently switched from a Motorola android phone on Verizon to an S5 on AT&T
I spent many hours with AT&T and Samsung phone support over the weekend trying to get to the bottom of a problem I am having -
When the phone receives a text via email. Instead of appearing in the text logs as the FROM email address, it uses some id that is associated with a server somehow. The first text via email I received is showing the caller as 1210100001 and it increments from there. After having received many more texts via email I am now up to 1210100031. When I receive messages from AT&T, I see IDs of different lengths but I don't care about those.
When you receive a text via email the first thing you see in the message is "FRM: [email protected] but in the log it shows up as 12101000xx
On my Motorola/Verizon/Android the FROM email address appears in the log as the sender and more importantly emails from the same address are all grouped together. As a matter of fact I backed up the SMS from that phone and imported it into the S5. I can go back in my history and see the texts grouped by sender so that you can scroll through and see all your conversations on one screen. On the S5 I can only see one text at a time. No grouping of any kind.
AT&T says the problem is with Samsung. Samsung says that's how it works period and I should go back to Motorola (shocking).
I downloaded a third party SMS app but find the same thing in the log. Shouldn't all android phones work the same in regards to this?
Is there a way I can get it to work the way it did on Motorola? I am rooted now. Will a custom ROM correct the problem?
OK I guess this is a difference between AT&T sms gateway and Verizon SMS gateway.
My big problem is not being able to see all the email texts in one scrollable screen in chronological order.
Anybody know how I could view all message logs from sender 12010100xxx in one long scrollable view in chronological order?
Is there a way in the stock messaging app, or is there a specific messaging app available in the play store where I could:
Draft a txt and then send to multiple recipients without each recipient being able to see the other? Basically the same thing as sending an email to multiple people via BCC option.
Would be handy for business purposes. I don't care if they see my contact. I just don't want them to see eachothers contact since not everyone I'd send to would know the other (and/or want their contact information shared).
Obviously I could copy and paste the same message to multiple people via individual txt msgs... but being able to send a group txt would be way more efficient.
Thanks!
If you go into the settings of the messaging app there should be an option to group text messages as MMS. Just uncheck that. At least that's how it works with hangouts for SMS.
