Hi all.
I was wondering if it is possible to develop an sms application whereby as well as all the usual info you type in eg recipient name, number, message etc, you could have a way to control and set the outgoing 'from' number as well.
This would be handy where some of us are forced to carry two phones around with separate contacts on each.
maybe its not possible but id love to have something like that to simplify life instead of spending multiple messages explaining why id like the reply to a different phone number. ( and no we are not allowed to transfer contacts )
Thanks Guys.

Sorry, the from field is not set on the device itself, but set by the network, to do that you would have to do it on the service provider side.
...the only options you can set at the application layer are the ones available through the SmsSendMessage API:

To achieve something like this is not possible at application level..what you'll need is to get into a much larger sphere of sim spoofing, which can be carried out, I think, (as I'm a BTS s/w guy,i.e., network software developer) in following two ways:
1. Cloning/spoofing the sim itself using another sim(can be done and is done a lot I think)
2. Hacking into the GSM\Radio image that is loaded into our devices and then hacking the messages exchanged between network and mobile, but this is not possible since we dont have the source code for the radio image
Anyways, if any of these methods are possible, then not just the sms, but ur complete phone functionality will be replicated, i.e., basically u will have two phones with the same number which kinda defeats the purpose of having two phones
As a Palm user for the past years, I still miss the feeling of beaming contact info through IrDA.
I used to exchange so many contact info during Palm user meeting.
I noticed that some of my Japanese friend got an QR code at the corner of their name cards.
If you use a cellphone that support QR code, you can recevie the contact info from the QR code.
They have done this for years in Japan.
As a android user now, I am wondering if there's a developer can come up with a AP that can
scan the QR code and import the contact info into your android phone. That will be wonderful.
If there's such AP. Maybe we can print a lttle sticker on our name card. Or show my own QR code
on the cellphone screen. So other can scan my QR code and get my contact info.
There are plenty of barcode scanners... the most simplistic "Barcode Scanner" has been avaliable since pretty much when android first hit the market.
If the QR code contains a number it will let you either dial the number or add it to your contacts.
I have activated my device and everything works fine xbox live, marketplace, zune etc.
The code doesn't seem to be tied to a handsets imei number. however Is it genereated uning information taken from your email address and phone number?
If not then can a single activation code be used to activate a second device where both could then be used to at the same time?
Seems to be working ok for me and my lad who also has a HD2.
Don't suppose you need someone else to test your theory and PM me your activation code
Pretty please
aenedor: Thanks for the info. So have you actvated both handsets using different email addresses but the same activation code?
mcvpjd3: Sorry I have a friend whose trying WP7 now - who may need the code if MS uk stall on issuing any new codes.....
I've had two android phones (charge and S4), and both have this problem. If a telephone bridgeline and access code are in the body of an email, it doesn't recognize the access code when you click it. If the same text is in a phonebook entry and you dial it from your phonebook, it will pause and ask if you want to dial the 2nd half of the number. Is this really broken, or am I using hte wrong numbers formats? I just do not understand how blackberry has gotten this right so long ago and android still has not...
None of the formats below will be recognized correctly on my S4 as a number with a pause, then dial the 2nd half when viewed in an email.
888-888-8888;111111#
888-888-8888x111111#
888-888-8888 111111#
888-888-8888p111111#
Phone: 1-888-888-8888
Access: 1111111
oddly commas do work, but the do not ask if you want to send the code, they do it automatically. The more commas the longer before they send the 2nd set of digits across.
bueler, bueler
anyone?
Hello All,
I am developing a simple window phone 8.1 application which need to go through registration process and for this registration process I want to use Phone number and IMEI number.
But recent document from Microsoft and Other knows sources have mentioned both Phone number and IMEI number API from Microsoft has been removed and we will not be able to get hold of these values due to security and privacy reasons.
I am using C#, Visual Studio 2013 Express edition for this application development.
Well, if this is the case what recommendation can you provide us for registration process which is simple and easy. Based on this registration processor the user will get notifications he/she has opted for. Hence we need the phone number which needs to be captured.
Also, everyone's question is how Viber, WhatsApp and other messaging application how are they doing it?
Kind regards,
Vasuki
