IM proggie for Offline Contacts? - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

I have a friend who always shows as offline (he prefers it this way). My understanding is that IM+ won't permit me to msg him. Is there another program out there that works with contacts who are set to offline?

Give Palringo a try. I think it does what you need.

It's free.

program for free SMS

Hey all,
for the PC, there are plenty of programs that you can use in order to send free SMSes. for example: ExtraSMS, ICQ and others.
Is there anything similar for the pocket pc?
Thanks a lot...
there are also sites who offer online versions of that you can try to see if you can get those to work in pIE or minimo or opera
yes crikee try that mate,device dependant
Actually, I was looking for some more convient. a program that i can link the messaging hardware button to it, thus making it very easy and more important, free...
Not sure if this helps, but......
In the UK, there are services that provide a free messaging service, kinda like SMS - take a look at http://www.tex2me.com or http://www.hotxt.co.uk
They provide a Java applet that you use to send messages to other users of the service, so there's no link to the real SMS text message application in WM....might not be what you were looking for?
Don't know of anything else; like another poster suggested, maybe your only option is to use a browser to access one of the online sites?
Mark.
think the problem is that sms is point to point cellphone network based
and gprs is the internet
somebody needs to act as gateway from the internet to the cellphone network
the cellphone the sms could be the "free" sms is being sendt to could be without gprs at all or simply offline
those free sites offer that gateway
and they most likely make money on the adds on their sites
so i'm not sure they would be happy to have people access their services without being exposed to their adds
and their interfaces are prob different from eachother so if a real application was made it would be different depending on what free sms network it would access

Looking for SMS over Voip software

Hi,
I'm looking for a software for my HTC S730 which enables me to send SMS via my Voip account from the Internet.
I found http://www.smsoip.be/ but it doesn't work on my HTC S730.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot!!!
Anyone???
There must but some software for SMS over Voip for Smartphone.... right??
sms software
do a search on fring, great bit of voip software. good for voip sms, sips, etc, using it on my spv m3100 with sipgates.co.uk sips account
Are you sure fring is also for voipsms? I dont think so...
thanks
please, anyone?? i want voipsms software for WM standard
WTF
cmon ppl!!!!!!!
hoping for the same thing, you would think there should exist a small app, but apparently there isn't...hopefully someone gets inspired and makes one
Humm.. SMS over VoIP? Is it possible? VoIP would need to provide an SMS gateway; which a phone carrier wouldn't...
How about an alternate solution? Email to SMS/SMS to Email gateways, specifically because they exist? If you find a way to send SMS over the telephone system, let me know.
[edit]
I was being to cocky. Looks like Skype provides; but read that wikipedia article anyway.
[edit2]
There are some web sites that will send SMS (that would be, other than the carriers themselves)... I just found CallWave.

yea there are website, but its real annoying to open a browser, type the address in, and then type the message. there are programs that do what we're asking so its not impossible, they're just tailored for the pocketpc (SMSoIP, IPSMS to name a few)
yea thats right... so voipsms is popular. but no app for SP yet!!

ya, it blows my mind too, lol unless there is and ppl aren't sharing
lol i'm guessing its not possible.... i ran into a program called fring which i think does allow you to do this, but just curious if we can do this without a 3rd party app
NO and NO! FRING does not allow you to do SMS via VOIP.
Im just really surprised by the lack of interest in this topic.
Do you people even know what SMS via VOIP means? It means FREE SMS TO ALL COUNTRIES WITH YOUR NUMBER AS SENDER (e.g. with VOIPBUSTER)

i think maybe just write an email to ur VOIP provider like voipbuster or voipstunt and ASK them... they know better
someone suggested
gsm.voipbuster.com and download the java software.
any other ideas=??

msn=sms?

Hi all, i was on the phone with t-mo today and the girl told me that the msn\live messenger messages that i send and recieve uses SMSes and not internet.
is that true or was she plain stupid?
i've researched this online and coudlnt get a conclusive answer so i thouhgt i'd ask you guys since some of you have prolly seen the code itself and can answer me correctly and easily...
so which is it - internet or texts?

From what I understand, the IM app is counted towards text messages, this means, google, MSN, Yahoo, AOL messages within the stock IM app is text messages.
I think GTalk use the Internet (wifi/3g or whatever data connection you're on) while other "chat" services use SMS.
But now there's free Hi MSN in the Market (and Meebo has been for quite some time) when you want to use MSN "for real".

GTalk will works over the internet, either via 3G or WiFi.
All other protocols will only use WiFi over the internet - any conversations via a cellular network will be via SMS and not over 3G/GPRS.
Regards,
Dave
wow!
that's absurd!
nobody said anything about it either!
why did they do that?!
The crap? That sounds like the stupidest thing ever. Leave it to a cell carrier to come up with a stupid idea like that. Just use Hi MSN or Hi AIM.
The carrier makes money on the text messages, Google gets GTalk usage - and he consumer is - as always - screwed. "Business plan" is another word for the phenomenon...
(Don't get me wrong -I love most of Google's stuff, even GTalk - but as virtually no one else use GTalk, it's pretty useless to me...)

how to use WEB to SMS on my phone??

Ok heres my story , i have friends in Pakistan which i want to send sms's to every once in a while but since im in America international SMS's are pretty costly. I know if im sitting to my pc i can use those web to SMS sites like http://www.telenor.com.pk/services/webtosms.php but when im on my phone ( which is a touch pro and i have unlimited data so tht aint an issue) i cant load these sites as they use java and the app wont load on my phone.
My question is is there any way to get these kind of sites working , or any other way to send sms for free to pakistan ? specifically a telenor number?
Im open to any suggestions. Thanks.
Still looking for ideas please.
No one has any ideas??
If you can find out their provider's SMS email address, then you can email them and they'll receive it as a text.
For example, I'm with Bell Mobility, and their's is my 10-digit number followed by @txt.bellmobility.ca.
You can probably find it on the internet somewhere.

Well, to begin, you do not have to use specialized services to send SMS. If you use IM, most major ones (AIM, Messenger, etc) will let you send SMS too. Likewise, if you install AIM/Messenger on your phone, you can use them to send SMS to your friend too.
If I may, however, I would suggest you use Google Voice. See, GV has a neat trick which allows you to do international SMS with no extra charge (do not try it with international calling, though, as it will not work). Using Google Voice is much, much easier, doesn't require any extra programs, and work exactly like a regular SMS (so you can SMS through your phone, but send through GV instead of regular). Prior warning, though: Sending SMS through GV won't get you any extra international cost, but it will still cost you the regular SMS charge, so if you do not have texting, be careful.
I myself have not done it, but others have already, and they reported success: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=47d001a0c15f6f1e&hl=en
here in phil im using mjoy.com, i dont know if will work in ur country. sorry for my bad english.
OK i do have a GV account and have tried texting my frined with it but i dont think he gets the msgs so unfortunatly its a no go for me , from the link u posted it seems like a hit or miss kinda thing too.
That mjoy this looks intresting but its so slow still hoping there is some easy way

go to free sms, compose and make a bookmark so every time u want to send message again to grinminded its 1click.
GB..
sorry for my bad english.
Hmm that would probably work will try tht book mark thing it should make it easier thanks.
SMS to Pakistan
I would try a free web sms from you phone at:
smsfree4all.com/free-text-pakistan.php
Let me know how it goes.

Instant GV sms

A webservice GVmax moniters your google voice account and sends the sms to your phone immediately. All you have to do is give them your google login creds.
Seems like a good way to save some battery life and do more gv texting. Just thought I'd share.

I'm new. But isn't it a bad idea to give a relatively new web site that much access to your life?
i get them asap anyways?

I'm talking about if you use the GV app on your android device. The most you can set the notifications to check is every 5 mins and that's a battery killer.
Uhmmm y not just forward them to your phone number from gv ? Instant
Edit: u can even reply to the sms gv sends u

Now we just need an app that lets you make and receive calls over wifi/data with our GV numbers
Best solution I've seen so far... This does it all... you just need a gtalk client and a callback phone(your carrier number, voip client w/service and pstn set up or your google talk on your computer). I'm using it with palringo and agephone over wifi only(my radio isn't even turned on) and it works great! =D
I can't get it to work, but lots of people have had success with Ultimate VOIP which can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908783 It uses the system's built in contact list and dialer.
I think this would be awesome paired with either Beejive IM or Palringo on your winmo phone.
