Hey guys, I am looking for a good AIM program that uses SMS and not data. Free would be awesome too if possible. Thanks guys.
I tried OZ Messenger but for some reason it won't intercept the incoming text message saying that it signed on. Like it will send the text message to the user and not the program, so the program does not acknowledge that it has signed onto AIM through SMS.
Isn't this how AIM Mobile works?

Check out IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile options. Both of these use SMS messages. AIM Express uses a net connection (so thats not what you are wanting).
A number of people I work with (with basic phones) use IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile and they receive and send messages to AIM contacts via SMS.
There may be better solutions, but I do know these work.

I use IM FORWARDING, I wish there was a program that you could just save your buddylist to and send text to their screen name.
There's a certain format you can type to send from your phone to a screen name.

here's a good read.
Just create a new contact with their name and their IM under the IM category. It will send the message to their IM address but you won't be able to tell if they're online.
to sign on
send a text message to number 4646 - in your text message type SCREENAME(space)PASSWORD example bobster PaS$W0rd111
to sign off
send a blank text message to number 4647 to sign off
get you buddy list
send a text message to 4650 - in your text message type list
to get the number associated with the buddy
send a text to 4653 - in your text message type help
beware - it sends a list of 7 buddies per text. So if you have 140 screen names on your list, expect 20 text messages.
to send a instant message to someone from your buddylist
send a text to the number associated with their number
to send a instant message to an unlisted screen name
send a text message to 4654 - in your text message type SCREENAME: (space) message example bobster: hello
I hate the Android system of messaging just bcoz I cannot keep track of messages recieved, sent, drafts.
I need some app with the classic views having an Inbox, Outbox, Drafts. The only such app I know is SMS Manager. But the issue with it is it doesnt show the whole msg when its a long one.
Plz help.
Check out Handcent SMS and, whilst you are at it, the gmail small sync SMSBackup+
Not sure if they are what you are looking for but, at risk of teaching you to suck eggs, thought I should mention them.

Chech this one:

I tried Handcent but it still provides only a threaded view, not the classic view with Inbox/Outbox. I noticed that it breaks down a long msg into a couple or triple of bubbles, which sucks !
Abt the link provided above, I have the same app (as I mentioned in my intro post), which is the only app having Inbox/Outbox, but doesnt display the whole msg, in case of long ones. Now, on 2.1, its giving me a forced stopped error on opening the Inbox, hence turned useless.
The splitting of SMS bubbles in Handcent is odd. I don't see that in received messages. In sent message settings the are two options which might be responsible :split messages and convert to mms. Check those out.
Regarding inbox/outbox view: there is a separate view for undelivered messages : goto main (middle button) settings and look under "more". Probably not what you're looking for although I noticed you did not type inbox/sent.
I know it's not the same as folders with counts of unread.
Good luck with your hunt.

The handcent message bubble splitting issue is wierd, I have not faced it as of yet, been using it for over a month with no issues of that sort

GOSMS is what u need it has everything
Sent from Captivate
Pansi SMS is having this as an option (inbox outbox sent draft folders)
Do you find yourself sending the same SMS messages often and to the same recipient(s)? Then this is the app for you. Quick SMS is designed so it should be easy to send messages that you send often. You can preconfigure messages and recipients, so when you need to quickly send a message, you just choose a recipient and a message and press send.
I have made an app that solves this, you can find it her..:

Just thought you should now...

Non android developer here..
Very familiar with adb and the 'nix command line..
I run Textra as my SMS/MMS application.
This program has no way to limit the amount of saved messages.
I just backed up and restored almost 10k messages.. from my whatever count contacts..
I am looking for how I would parse the messages db and keep the last 200 or whatever messages in each contact.
If I were to use a different sms app, it would invoke the limit -when- I sent a message or -when- I received a message from them.
Not looking to send a message to everyone saying "Trimming my database. Please do not respond. Thanks."
Thank you in advance.
Is it possible to make the original sent mass text message appear in each individual's conversation threads rather than one thread with a group of names? Right now I have to send each person a personal text message for this to be possible. My reasoning is because when I get a reply, I want to see my sent text and then their reply text in each person's conversation. Is there an app or something that can do this?
Is there a way to do this??
Another question: I am also wondering if there is a way to automatically detect incoming messages as a group text. Right now I have to manually go into my Go SMS app's settings and turn on Group Messaging. But by then it is too late. when the Group Messaging setting is off, and I recieve a group text , the sender and all the replies all go onto their own individual conversations, and I have to reply to each person individually.
