Sending SMS to an email address on 8125--is there a crack?

Does anyone know if there's a way to enable sending emails via the SMS app on the 8125 (without using 36245 as the email address)? If you try to send an SMS to an email (not a phone number), the app tells you it's not allowed. Several of us would like to be able to "chat" via sms with people on BlackBerries (for example) or 2-way pagers that aren't addressable as cell phones. Most other phones allow this, but Cingular has disabled it on the 8125. It certainly works on Cing treos. Doesnt work on 8125 with orig ROM or Summiter's excellent ROM upgrade.
Anyone know if this is a registry edit, or would it require a seperate program? Anyone able and willing to post a solution?

omg i just realized it's not letting me send sms to email addresses either >< I used to use send sms to emails all the time on my treo too >< ahhhh ~ any fixes please

You can always send MMS to email addresses with just text.
I'm curious in today's age why you need to send SMS to email addresses, probably same reason MSFT didn't include it. Can you elaborate more??
There is cross operability with all carriers for text messages so you can just put in the phone number of any mobile device and it'll work.
All Blackberries that are less than 3 years old support SMS over the phone # assigned.
I understand the issue for 2-way pagers but why can't you just send a quick email?

There's a need for SMS to 2-way pagers because sending an SMS is faster to create and send...since email requires a logon and data connection. SMS is the easier way to go if you want to "chat"

Send an SMS to 121
The first thing in the body of the message should be the e-mail address with the subject immediately after, in parentheses. Then a space, then your message. Example: to send an e-mail to [email protected] with a subject of 'billing question' and the body 'Please contact me via phone to discuss my recent bill' you would send the following to 121
[email protected](billing question) Please contact me via phone to discuss my recent bill
Voila!

I won't speak for the original poster, but I'll elaborate with my reason: I'm not an email/internet/IM junkie, and I don't need all that for work, so I don't have a data plan for my 8125 in order to use the real email capability. But, I do have the 100 SMS msg pack on my plan, and I occasionally need to send a quick email to someone when I'm away from the computer and only have my phone. I used this capability on my Nokia6800 all the time, and apparently the Nokia software took care of the special formatting, since all I had to do on it was type in (or select from Contacts) the email address, the subject, and the message. When I started searching today on this issue, I hoped there was a more elegant solution, but I'm perfectly happy with the instructions for a specially formatted SMS message (as long as I can remember them when I need to send an email). I just figured out that I can copy/paste an email address from Contacts, which I suppose will be better than trying to rember one and having to type it, so that's not too bad.
If I really needed to use email a lot from my phone, I guess I'd give in and pay for a data plan, but for now, this SMS trick works just fine.
Edit: almost forgot to say thanks to Hosehead for the tip. Much obliged.

Using Cingular this did not work...

Worked just fine through Cingular for me when I tried it this afternoon. The email I received looked just like the ones I used to send with my Nokia.

Has worked fine for me since I got my 8125. I recommend making sure you have a new "3G" sim, I know some of the older ones restricted SMS e-mail.

It works for me!
I sent the first test to my work e-mail. Apparently the SPAM filters didn't like it.
Second test to personal e-mail worked like a charm. This is nice to know.

well holy shi** i didn't even know you could do that. it had never even crossed my mind that SMS connected to e-mail
brilliant, johnson. brilliant!

I've sent email with mine through text before...
I was messing around with it when I setup my gmail account to forward me emails through text...

not working for me..
Hmm.. this is not working for me on Tmobile with an MDA.. Has anyone had any success with tmobile?

Send text using data plan, send text using internet.

PLease i just realised that i was still getting charged for sending text messages, even though i have tha total intertnet plan from tmobile.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a program that would let me send text messages bypassing the cellular network, and using my internet,(be it wifi or edge or gprs) to carry the messages.
Kinda like when you use your computer to send texts to phones, is there a program for windows mobile?
thank you in advance

I believe there are a few websites out there to send messages with, tmobile used to have a public SMS application, however I am unsure of any method of "relaying" an SMS message through the included pocket outlook sms handler to one of those sites transparently.

thank you. I still will be awaiting answers.

one approach might be to use an email server to bounce the messages to sms email addresses.
say you use the email side of the messaging app, either through synching to exchange or through a pop, imap or whatever, and point the email at the sms address, I forget what the tmobile address is, but for example it would be like [email protected]
I guess that semi solves the problem without any programming, you would just need each carrier's email address, and specify a return address that would go to your phone for when they SMS back.

previous:H6315(hell in gadget form), Tmo original xda PPCPE.
CaptDistraction, you need to be creative about the 6315; I gave mine to my wife when I upgraded to to 8125. Got rid of the memory hogs and you can't imagine how our relationship has improved, we now talk about the same techy stuff; she complaing, I fixing by the way she no longer complains about how much time I spend with my phone, cause she's now doing the same. Now we have no time to talk to each other...... :twisted:

Haha, I tried every rom out there, I kept the device for a while and finally sold it to support the MDA purchase.
Man I messed with that 6315 to no end, had so much stuff going on with it trying different app combos, spent hours in the registry, no matter how simple I kept it, I couldn't ever get it to answer calls in a timely fashion.
My biggest love with the MDA is when you press that green answer button, it immediately picks up the call.

Mobile IM client that lets you set a buddy icon

Fist off, let me apologize for yet another IM thread. But I have looked and done research and am stuck. You all are the peeps with the answers, so I am asking this here. Again, sorry for another IM post....
I am looking for a Mobile IM client that works over the GPRS data network, not SMS, that has a way to inform users that I am on my mobile device. From what I have seen, the only IM clients that will do this are the SMS based mobile clients. Which does me no good as I need Gtalk (Jabber) as well as AIM etc...
So my next thought was to use a different buddy icon for the IM client on my phone as opposed to when I use Gaim/Pidgin. Only I cannot seem to find one that support buddy icons on the mobile device.
Am I simply SOL and need to deal with the fact that ppl will not be able to tell I am mobile unless I go with the SMS client?
Lastly, I use 2 AIM accounts, one personal and one for business. It seems as though no Mobile IM client will let you use more than one AIM profile at a time. Does anyone know if this is actually the case. I have tried Mundu and IM+.
Thanks for any help you can give.
SC

My understanding with mundu is that you can use multiple aim accounts with the paid version. While I can't verify this on WM6 yet, I was able to do this on my palm.
BTW, don't you wish Pidgin would port already.

Yeah Pidgin would be really nice
I do have a retail ver of mundu im. I got it from handango last friday on Free-App friday. I don't know it it's exactly the same as the paid version, but it did let me update it today when the newer version came out. Are you using the version for PalmOS or for WM5?

Are you running the PPC or the SP version? I was able to use my Free-App Friday code to unlock the PPC version available for download directly from Mundu.
Unfortuantely I have noticed that this IM app, as "pretty" as it is, uses about 4X as much memory as Octro/Agile and still lacks a today screen plugin.

FWIW, I also got Mundu on free-app friday. I wasn't clear on what version I was getting from them (smartphone or PPC), so I downloaded the PPC version directly from Mundu's site, then applied the registration key Handango had emailed me to that version. So what I have should be identical to the "paid" version, but I can't find a way to sign on to the same service twice with two different IDs.
The bigger problem I'm having is, I have a friend who just got a Treo Centro, which comes with some kind of AIM messenger built in. When he messages me, I can't see his message. I get the the line that shows his id and the timestamp, but the actual text of his message is blank. He gets my messages, I get messages from his phone if I'm logged in from a PC, I get messages in Mundu if he sends them from a PC, and I and another friend of his with (an unkown phone) also gets his messages if he sends from his phone to his friends phone. But Mundo seems to omit the message if the message came from another phone.

That was my experience as well. Oh well... looks like we sit and wait for a port of Pidgin.

Does anyone use the Palm Threaded SMS on their Kaiser?

I am using the shogunmark one for WM6, and it seems to be working okay. I have an issue though that I am wondering if it traces to this application.
Sometimes in the morning, I notice that Outlook seems to hang with the "please wait" circle/hourglass thing and it requires a soft reset to fix. Simply closing all applications does not fix it.
I don't know if this is a corrupt issue with Outlook, ActiveSync, or if separating SMS from Outlook causes the problem.

I use the app without any issues. Send lots of SMS but I don't send MMS at all.

I have had no problems so far but i've only used it for a few days. Pocket Outlook works as normal as far as i know. I don't really send mms so losing that ability is ok by me.
Sending SMS from Outlook is very annoying for me not only because it's not threaded but also when i type the contact's name in the receiver field it only shows whatever number is filed under "Mobile Number" but most if not all of the people i text to have more than 2 mobile phone numbers and i cant change the number (or at least i dont know how to change it from there). The Palm application lets you choose whatever number you have under that contact's name.

there is a fix for the mms i forgot which thread its in,

Okay, thanks for the input.
I think my problem must tie into ActiveSync then or the fact that I use an Exchange Server.
Any other reason for that circle/please wait to constantly be showing?

Are you using push Hotmail with Windows Live?
I've found that if it was enabled and you were in an area with no/bad coverage or in flight mode, it would cause that multicolor circle to appear every few seconds and the device would slow to a crawl.

would anyone be able to direct me to where i could find the Palm SMS cab?

thanks trjons. Now I've gotta see if theres a fix for the MMS yet.
Does anyone know if the KaiserHomescreen is able to display the SMS count when using this threaded sms?

i use it to send sms and it works just fine except that for some reason when i try to send mms it tells me i dont have enough memory to complete this operation.please close some open windows and try again even thought i have over 70mb of free program and storage memory on my tilt

Well from what i've read using MMS from the Palm application is not possible at all. The "fix" is for the MMS tab to reappear in Pocket Outlook and to send MMS from there instead. I tried doing it for my v1615 on Vodafone but couldnt get it to work. Maybe others had more luck.

Ive been using the Palm Application since I flashed to the new rom.. I have not noticed this problem.. I will pay more attention and post back if I see it happening!

Yes, the HTC Home Today Plug-In does read the SMS count when using the Palm Threaded SMS app.

Palm Sms + Kaiser = Bad?

I have the same problem on the ATT original ROM and Duttys Hybrid rom
It randomly gives out of memory error even with no other app running
Or everytime i try to create an mms
ANY FIX?

Keep getting random text from WC####

After flashing HTC Rom i keep getting these random text messages from WC something wtih a bunch of numbers.. what is this?

If they say WVCI####, then most likely you used OZ Messenger for IM previously? And you didn't log out of OZ properly. you just closed the app...
See this my post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338690&highlight=wvci
Others have also said that you get this problem if you install OZ IM on your storage card and not your main memory. I'm skeptical of that, but some said it works. I stopped using OZ after day 1 so I don't know if it does or not...But the "logging in and logging out properly" method worked for me when I did have the issue that day. Also, you can log into your IM accounts on your PC. This forces the old connections from your phone to close and thus also shoudl end the messages.

tahnks for the help but what is OZ messenger? how do i log out

OK, if you don't use OZ messenger for IM, then it may not be the issue. Can you type the exact contents of one of the messages? and how often do they arrive?

1111470500
Wvci 1.1 111
theyre arrving once every couple minutes, happened after i flashed to HTC rom, i dont have anything custom installed

Yup, that is most likely the OZ IM ping SMS message. You never used Instant Messaging on your phone before or after flashing? OZ IM comes installed on the Tilt by default, i beleive.
Do you use ANY instant messaging? I mean, even on your PC? If so, log into all your IM accounts on your PC, and see if that stops the SMS messages.
It's gotta be something related to OZ instant messenger program.

i logged into AIM before the flash, but i dont have AIM on the new HTC Rom
how should i fix this?
thanks for the help btw

The easiest suggestion may be to go to a PC and log into your AIM account on the PC. Since this should force your previous session from the phone closed, it should stop the messages.
I don't know much more about AIM to be able to help. Do they have a mobile version? Or install some IM program that supports AIM. (I've heard good things about Mundu IM, but there are others - do a search on this forum). Install the program and use it to log into AIM. This shoud also stop it. And let you use AIm on your phone go forward. I don't know about the ROM you installed to know if it has an IM program built into it already. Whatever IM program you do use, make sure you log out before you shut the program down.
That's about as much help as I can provide since I don't use AIM, and don't know about the ROM you installed...I only use Windows Messenger (Live) and Skype...

thanks got it fixed, appreciate it

For future reference, and others who might have the issue later, how did you manage to get them messages to stop?

I presume the method of logging in from a PC resolves the issue.
