How can i auto queue text msgs to resend when i have a signal?

can someone answer the above? At present, when u write a text message and are with no signal it simply puts the text message in ur draft folder which i find useless. I know nokia, has a 'resend' option or something. Anyone know of anything for the kaiser?

That would be a nice feature, i've come stuck a couple times like that (on a flight and out of coverage) and had to save them as drafts then click on send later when back in service.
I send a lot of texts to large groups and also find they stick in the outbox sometimes never moving, if i try and click them they send repeatedly sometimes people get 5 or 6 messages. Both these issues were a problem for previous versions you would have thought they had sorted it by now.

You could try using the 02 SMS Plus application...it lets you set a schedule as well as lets u send group sms's. It comes bundled with all 02 phones and should work on Wm5 and Wm6. Try searching the forum for a Cab file of the application

IM that uses SMS to initiate, data to chat.

Are there any IM programs anyone is aware of that can initiate a chat with SMS, but otherwise is offline?
I don't get a lot of chat requests, but I do sometimes chat a bit, and I only have 250 sms. But I find that IM+ uses quite a bit of battery, particularly on HSDPA. If I exit it and just leave FlexMail running (2 idle imap mailboxes) it uses only a few percent of battery an hour vs 10% or so with FM and IM running.
So perhaps there's an IM program out there that is offline until you get an SMS, at which point you can chat over data? Figure it's worth asking.
I made a fair attempt at searching, but all I find either use SMS or data, no hybrids.

I've continued to look, haven't found anything yet. I have switched to Jabber using transports to see if that lowers data usage, but the jury is still out on that, I'm tracking battery usage right now.

OZ IM from AT-T uses SMS to send its messages not data hence you will be charged per message you send as a SMS.

I guess I wasn't terribly clear.. I want an IM program would do basically this:
Goes online (using data I presume)
Program itself now goes offline (no more data usage)
When I get an IM, I get an SMS which initiates the program going back online
Chat over cellular data
When done with chat, program again goes back offline and waits for another sms
Seems the perfect combination for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of SMS and wants to save on battery life at the same time.

...but once you receive an SMS doesn't that charge against your original 250?
Curious but, isn't an unlimited/high text message plan fairly affordable? I'm with AT&T and have unlimited texts for $15...and it covers all 5 people on my family plan.

You can fwd your IMs with AIM fowarding, and when you get a text from AIM, login to like Slick or something. Then when you're done, sign off slick. With AIM forwarding on, you'll still be on even if you're technically not "on".

That really IS the best way at the moment. Unfortunately, developers either go for the SMS or the data. SMS cost more usually, and data is not as reliable.

Hmm, I didn't realize that the $15 unlimited plan covered the whole group. I thought it was per-user. I might have to look into that.
I have 250 for $5 just for myself. Yeah, the initial SMS would come out, but that's not a big deal, I don't get a lot of SMSes or initiated chats, but there are times I need to be contacted to get in touch with someone on IM and aren't near a computer. And at work I don't have personal IM running (except on the Tilt ;-) )
I'll check out your suggestion.. Sounds like that's a good possibility to just go all SMS for the IMing.

i do believe that AIM has the ability to do this, if you are offline and i wanted to get in touch with you and you have your AIM account setup correctly by providing the profile with your phone number there will be the option to send via text message, at that point you will receive the text message and then get online yourself to talk to the person.
i dont think there is any program that once you receive the text message that it will automatically go online for you.
it may be ICQ i dont remember which client has this capability of sending text but one of them do it.

Call+SMS blocker with Reply

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.

CALL/SMS BLOCKER plus sms auto response

Call_SMS Blocker. I found this program the other day and I just wanted to share it with everyone. This app is amazing! I searched everywhere to find something like this. With this software you can COMPLETELY block both calls and sms. Also it will send an automatic sms on your behalf when your busy. Your probably saying, yeah well that new PowerSMS program can do auto sms replies. Well did I mention that this app not only sends auto sms replies to callers but also to friends who TEXT YOU!! I think I found only like 1 other app that could do that and it wasnt nearly as good as this one. Most other ones out there either only allow you to select "known numbers" or "unkown numbers" to reply to. Well with Call_SMS Blocker, you can totally customize the lists of people that will receive your auto reply. You can even make custom messages for each individual person instead of just 1 master message like many other apps.
The only bad things about this software though is that it does cost money and it is a little confusing on how to set it up. But once you figure this thing out it is very powerful and by far the best call blocker sms blocker and sms auto responder out there!
If anyone decides to get this app I would be more than happy to help you out with getting it up and running and figuring out the settings to do what you want it to do.
This was just one of the best apps I have found in awhile and I just wanted to let others know about it. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope this program can come in handy for others like it did me.

have you tried this on WM6? link says WM5

Yes it will work on WM6. I am using it on my stock Tilt WM6 pro and it works perfectly. See, under the Download/Buy section. It says its available for WM5/WM6.x

This looks brilliant - purchased

Right, purchased this yesterday and it's awesome.
I have an annoying issue with an alarm system (secom) at my workplace, and being a keyholder, I really can't be chewed with middle-of-the-night (false) callouts. Tried to use another app to set unknown numbers to use a silent ringtone, but that didn't help in the middle of the night because of the ensuing answerphone notification.
I don't like the thought of turning my phone off, or putting onto silent in case of real emergencies from people I care about D).
Anyhoo....
.. this app is perfect. Simulates an immediate 'hangup' to unknown numbers, effectively (a) stopping you hearing them call and (b) disallowing them the ability to leave an answerphone message.

Suggestions on a good hands free SMS app?

I am looking for a very simple application for hands free SMS. I have tried Vlingo and Hands Free SMS but they require way too much interaction to send a reply.
Does anyone know of an application that can read an incoming SMS message and then start listening for a reply? Once it hears a reply, it sends it...

I still haven't found a simplified hands free application. They all seem to have lengthy dialog that takes way too long to use.
Here is an example of the dialog for Hands Free SMS:
“Do you want to listen to the message again? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to reply to this message? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’ to quit.”
“Please speak what you want to reply.”
“Do you want to speak more to enter more text? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to proof read the SMS message before sending? Say ‘yes’ or
say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to send the SMS message now? Say ‘yes or say ‘no’ or say
‘clear’ to start again.”
What I am looking for:
After reading incoming message: "Listening for reply..." (3 second timer - if no response, cancel)
"Sending reply ... (read reply) Say Stop to try again or wait to send." (3 second timer)
"Reply sent..."
