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?
This morning i created a group in contacts with specific people i would like to send SMSs to. In other words, i associated few contact names to a category. I am able to go to my contacts and have the specific contacts show up but what i would like to do is send one SMS to that group of people. I was sitting for atleast 25 minutes trying to figure it out and i would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance.
ur one step ahead of me.... i can't even seem to create a group in my contacts... i'm using a tilt with dutty's v3 rom...
and i would love to know how to send sms's to groups as well because i do a ton of txt msging
i use Skb Group SMS...not free though...
this was posted by someone in another thread... http://www.mediafire.com/?cxmjz2xdiay this is the latest version i've been using the 1.4.1 version on my Kaiser/Tilt and it's a life saver..about to try out this new version and see how it works...
Hi Mates,
I think the below mentioned link will solve your problem. I used this tool and its really very useful and effective and it even has a scheduling functionality included...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/get-rjv-sms-scheduler-v1-3.html
First of all, I am using an AT&T Tilt with stock ROM and WM6 pro.
I have been searching forever for a program that can Block both CALLS and SMS and then be able to automatically respond to each with a predefined sms.
The only one that I have come across is CALL SMS blocker which can be seen here. This program would be AMAZING if only the sms auto response worked. It has the ability to block both calls + sms, and then even send an automated sms response for both. Its just that after it has blocked the call and/or sms it will not send the automated sms response. I dont know if I am doing something wrong. So if anyone has this program working on their Kaiser then could you help me out.
Another idea I had was to use 2 separate programs to achieve my goal. I was going to use Auto SMS reply (found here) to take care of automatically responding with an sms to my missed calls and then I was going to use another program to automatically respond to text messages. Only problem now is that I cant find a program that automatically replies to text messages. So if anyone knows of such a program could you please let me know, I would be very appreciative. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me.
I don't know if you searched the whole forum, but doing it right gave me for example this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2335726
They talk about Magicall. Can have a look
How would one send an SMS to a landline? If nothing but cell phones called me I could see a great use for something like this but I get a lot of calls from regular phones.
Hi all,
I have Tilt and I am very fond of messaging.
I was having a conversation through SMS with a frnd and when i was replying to one of his SMSs, all of a sudden hung a lil bit and all the SMS of his has gone.
Then later i checked, some people and sites who are regular with their SMS (3-5 SMS in day), those SMS are also gone but not the complete thread is being deleted.
I am not able to understand the pattern.
Is it like that each thread can contain only a specific number of SMSs.
And earlier i thought this might be a problem with my handset or s/w, but today one of my frnd who uses HTC 3400, had the same prob.
Kindly help. I had more than 1000 SMS in it.
Softwares installed:
SPB Pocket mobile shell 3
kaiser tweak
google maps
web cam plus
Regards,
Abhishek
sooo... i finally found a way to get all of my contacts onto the phone itself so that i can add those contacts to a group.
here's a link on how to do it in case you dont already know how to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769000
MY NEW FUSTRATION
When in the messaging app... When sending a new Group text mssg, Click on groups.... It takes about 8 seconds (seemed like forever, I thought my phone froze) to load the groups... Then when you select the group, it pauses for another 3 seconds,... then you have to individually select the contacts within the group....
Talk about time consuming! not sure if the lag is because i have over 1000 contacts total? but, the group im trying to send the message to only contains 10 contacts.
I was hoping that when I clicked on the group, that it would at least automatically select everyone within that group.
THERES GOTTA BE AN EASIER WAY thats not so time consuming...
why the hell do you have over a 1000 contacts. you can't honestly talk to all of them
