but of course I could not find the answer I want to do a one time transfer of a text message from my captivate to my pc , I don't want to always back up all my text messages or sync it to Google- I just want to save the funeral announcement for my stepfather text that was sent to all family members nationwide to give details of when and where it will be held-some my think it is morbid but i was there when he took his last breathe and for some reason I feel I need to save that text
I know there will be people stating use the search button and i have but have not been able to find an answer i also tried all the search engines and cannot find a free app that I can use once- I don't know maybe it's part of the mourning process as this just happened so I would appreciate any help
thank you,
Harry

Sorry for your loss. You could use an app called "SMS Backup". This save all your txt msgs and allow you to restore the msgs after reloading your phone.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer using the search engine. I've been playing around with the TILT while texting and I don't seem to see an option where you can insert contact information. This seems highly unlikely with such a high class phone so I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Is it insert vCard? When I try to do that it tries to connect to 3G and I don't want to be charged the data fee.
??? May need to clarify a little more??
I am not sure I fully understand your question. Are you saying that you don't see where to put the name or number of the person whom you want to send a text to? Also please advise what ROM you are running. I am sure everyone here can help you get it figured out. Good Luck, Kevin
I'm gussing that you want to send a vcard to someone.
Go to the contacts up, and select the contact you want to send.
The open the menu (right softkey) and select Send Contact->SMS\MMS
The reason why it is connecting to 3G might be that it is being sent as an mms (which needs a data connection), probably because it conatins a photo.

I think you mean where you insert the number of the contact. When you go to NEW SMS, then you tap on To:...... This then brings up the Contat app and you select whoever you want to text to. You can also use the D-Pad to do this.
I think I know what jwu222 means; when you're writing an SMS to someone, and you want to just drop in a number of a contact for them to use, it's commonplace on many other phones to hit menu > insert number or something to that effect, and voila, your SMS now reads:
"Hey man, here's <person>'s number, +4402blargh333" with no vCard BS.
There did seem to be an option back on windows mobile 6 to do this, and it didn't work or do anything (for me at least.) Upgrading to 6.1 has given me the ability to go Menu > Insert > vCard, bit this is not ideal as this changes it from an SMS (hence trying to connect to 3G) as well as trashing your message so the feature is still lacking.
CrArc has got exactly what I was talking about, sorry for the late response. So there isn't a way to do it like the simple phones huh?
Here ya go. Insert Contacts.
It integrates itself into the menu button while writing a text. It then brings up a crude version of your contacts list and you can choose the number to be inserted into the sms you are composing.
Try not to have too much fun with it!
thanks a lot for all your help that was exactly what i was looking for
Sorry, but the link to download it for free is broken at that site. Try here
hi there!! i wanted to know if there is possible to sen d an sms to more than one person at the same time... in my older nokia, i could creat group in contacts, or when i sent messages i could check the contact and tick those i wanted to sent messages at the same time for all...
but i don't know how to do it in diamond...
Add Recipient, then go and add next recipient then add next recipient?
if your going to mail all of them often save on in drafts and reuse it
EDIT: In the SMS go to NEW then in right down corner go to menu->Add Recipient
no, that's not the ideia...
what i want is to send one message but not just to one person, for example, i want to send a message saying "good xmas" to 50 persons at the same time...
but i don't know how to do that..
When in the new message, in "To:" click add recipient under menu, find the person you want, add him, and then click add recipient until you get all the recipients you want.
it works the same way as a email in Outlook. (on your PC)
I think this freeware is what you are looking for:
http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
Erm, are u Trolling ?? Diamond is capable of sending to multiple people one SMS in one step, just do a new SMS
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 1st person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 2nd person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 3rd person
... and so on
and all will get ur Happy Xmas
as i sayed earlyer ... so whats the prob bro ?
Exactly what I'm looking for as well, although the application posted above is good, is there anything which adds tick boxes to contacts so that you can select more than one contact instead of groups.
I know you can add and then add again but that is just annoying especially when you move from Nokia to WM...
just start writing their name in, then select them when i suggests the right person, and then start writing the next one!

Was that directed at me?
If your read the original request properly, the OP is looking for a way to send messages to many people without having to repeatedly tap "add recipient". You haven't provided a solution.
If you read the link I've posted, you'll see that it adds the ability to select any number of contacts using check boxes without the irritating repetition.

The above application does allow individual contacts with check boxes. After selecting a group, including the "All Contacts" group, the next screen has the check boxes.

I see.
The OP wasn't very clear, I guess I only understood him (or her) because I had been looking for a similar application. He also failed to thank you for your original suggestion.
However, it's best to not to acuse people of trolling just because you haven't understood their question!
sorry guys... i couldn't use my internet for a few days, so i couldn't read alll these messages.... first, i want to thank for the help...
and them maybe i wasn't so explicit as i should be.... but what i want is a way to could send one sms to a lot of people from my contact, but avoid to add recipient, then select one person, then go again to add recipient, then select another contact, and then again add recipient, select another contact, and so on... lets imagine i would like to send the particular message to 50 persons from my contact list... i would take an eternity... so i was looking for a program that allows me to go to add recipient, and inside it i could select those 50 persons that i want to get my message, and no add recipient, select contact, another add recipient, selecet another contact, and again add recipient,bla bla bla....
ok? was i cleared this time? hope so, sorry for my english guys....
i think that way it could be more easy to send mesages to a group of people, right?

Excellent!! Exactly what I was after. Thanks for the link
hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

no that will not help. threaded sms is a PITA and is not what we are wanting.
yea so im getting no where with this.
its strange because this works fine on WM5
I had an idea or perhaps it already exists...
A software that sends sms automatically at predefined time.
For example:
The situation:
I want to remind my wife/brother/etc to buy milk after they finish work at 5pm on the way.
The problem:
1. If I send it too early s/he might forget I sent the text earlier.
2. If I dont send the SMS now, I might forget to send the text when she leaves work and walks pass the shop.
The solution:
As soon as I remember we need milk (say at 11am), I would write the sms message and press send, and set the time for it to be sent out.
At 6pm, in the middle of a football match I completely forget to send that SMS - but luckily due to the clever software it has already sent it out at 5pm. Missus comes through the door with the milk and thanks me for the reminder....
So anyone know or willing make or help me make such a clever sofware
You could use multisms to send on set times. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562863
in germany you can send SMS later when you add the following code:
*Later(blank)(hours)# your SMS text
That's nice to know next time I go germany I shall try that - Im in the UK at the moment. I tried it but didnt work..but thanks

Is anyone else having issue trying to do group messaging from your contacts? Before I upgraded to the Nexus 6 from the Note 2, I would go into my contacts (or Messages) and Select a group contact Like "362nd Soldiers" or "Coworkers" and be able to send a message to that group of people without having to manually select each and every person. I also noticed in messages, when I click on attach it goes straight to my camera and does not allow me to select another contact to send info or perhaps a pdf or excel file or an email link. This is vital in all facets of my life, reserves and my civilian job. I do not want to have to download an app for such a basic function that was pretty much automatic in all other phones. Am I missing something on how to do these basic functions or do I just need to get a different phone?
I tried searching the forums but I get anything other that what I am searching for and I have to go back to the main page of the forum and search Nexus 6 and go back to the main forums each time as well. The search function here is horrible and forget trying just to go right back to where you were. So I apologize if this question has already been answered.
