I own an XDA IIi and it cannot send or receive appointments as text messages. I know that this is possible on the nokia phones. I'd love this feature on the xda as well. Does anyone know of any application that can send and receive appointments as text messages? Or any workaround on the xda? I think this is a windows mobile issue since my friend owns a XDA Mini S and it has the same problem
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I tried this and couldn't get google calendar to send me appointments via text messages. I'll give it a try again.

I know the nokia phones can send and receive appointments via text messages, so no reason why the xda cannot provide such capability. Although I wonder if it is a limitation in windows mobile. I love the xda and can't understand why they have left out such feature. The same is even true for contacts, you cannot send or receive contacts as text messages
Anyone got any suggestions please? I'm surprised no one has faced this issue before

I plan to upgrade to the O2 XDA Stellar, however, before I do so (and spend a lot of money) I was wondering if any kind soul who already owns the phone can help me out. Since the stellar comes with windows mobile 6, is it possible to send and receive contacts and appointments as text messages? (Read this post for more info) I know many nokia phones can do this. This is not possible on my XDA IIi (windows mobile 2003) and my friends XDA MiniS (windows mobile 5). Can anyone who owns this phone let me know? It will take only 2 mins of your time.
Also, while comparing the XDA stellar with the XDA IIi, I found that the Stellar has a Qualcomm MSM7200, 400MHz while the XDA IIi has a Intel Xscale PXA272 520 MHz. Do you know which one has the more powerful processor? The XDA IIi seems to run at 520MHz which is faster compared to the Stellar (400MHz) howevr, I'm not sure if the Qualcomm processor is faster than the PXA272
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi,
You can see my device info from my Sig (BTW I'm on WM6.1). I have successfully sent a contact via SMS to myself, but I cannot see a way to send appointments by SMS.
I can send one as a vCard (which also does contacts), but that goes via an MMS message rather than SMS.
I have not looked at the XDA IIi, so I cannot compare, however the Stellar is fast enough for what I want, and I still prefer it to my Wizard (Which was WM6.0).
HTH

Thanks for that Dave. I thought appointments were sent through vCalendar (.vcs). Is there anyway to perhaps right click on a calendar entry and send that through sms? Also, I believe MMS are charged for and not included within your monthly text messages. Am I right?
The reason I'm so fussy about sending appointments via text messages is because my wife and I need to sych our appointments. There have been a number of times that I've created an appointment for the two of us only to cancel it later. If this works, she can text me the appointment as soon as she creates it which then goes into my calendar and vice versa keeping us both in synch
Not sure if any software does this

Theres no option on this Calendar to send Appts via SMS. I don't use MMS that much, but if I recall correctly one MMS == 4 SMS's. I have a 500 free SMS's a month on my £35 pcm contact so I wouldn't notice. You'd best check with O2 customer services for how they bill MMS's.
If you pay £35 pcm or more you get a free bolt on. I have the unlimited data bolt on. So with that and exchange server access (free from mail2web.com) you could sync your calendar via outlook. Just an idea...
EDIT: I'm off home now, I will try and check back if I get on my PC later, if there is anything else I can help with

Hi,
Anyone have come across some software that will forward e-mail to be a SMS to another user?
may be a PC with a WM5/6 phone connected 24/7...
when a e-mail reach the outlook of the PC, it will auto send out as a SMS to a number?
or a WM5/6 phone on 24 hour and connected to the internet, once it get a e-mail, it will forward out as a SMS?
Thank in adv.
Up Up......
Up again....
I'm not sure about using outlook to do it, but with gmail, you can create filters to forward emails.
The only downfall is that it cuts off the message after the 160 character limit.

But my service provider didn't give me a e-mail address for me to forward to become an SMS.
Who is your provider? mine does something like [email protected] so, I would wonder if yours would do something similar.
Mine is Singtel from Singapore...
Hi
While my HD2 is away for repair i am stuck with a Nokia 2760 loan fone. Believe it or not the nokia has a feature I would LOVE to have on my HD2.
The nokia PC suite connects to the phone using Bluetooth and alerts you to new text messages etc. It then allows you to view the message and even reply.
Is there any program that can do this for the HD2?
Apologies if this has been asked before
Take a look here :
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/outreach/dnloads/smsSender.mspx
though I think it's only for sending SMS outbound
I use the Jeyo Mobil Extender ! www.jeyo.com
So, I can see my SMS Messages in Outlook, get Notify in Outlook if a new SMS there and can send SMS Messages with outlook.
Thought I'd try that MS one but just found after installing that it doesn't work in vista. Bah!
try this

you could try panda pc suite , its quite useful for just about anything including showing incoming calls/ sms chat etc
I currently use a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, and I love the SMS integration with Active Sync in combination with Exchange 2010 (new SMS will appear in the inbox, and it ist possible to write SMS in Outlook with "new item" -> "text message" - this text messages will then be synched back via AS to the device, and the device sends it).
until yesterday I thought that Windows Mobile 6.5 is the only mobile OS witch supports this function (even Windows Phone 7 doesn't support SMS integration!), but: a colleague of me flashed a new ROM (Darky 10.2.2 -> Gingerbread 2.3.4) on his Galaxy S yesterday, and: SMS-AS integration in combination with Exchange 2010 is now working with his device!!! - the first time I've seen that with an other mobile OS than Windows Mobile 6.5!
the reason for the thread here: I'm very interested in the HTC Sensation, and I think about to get one, but: SMS integration with Active Sync is important for me, so is it working with the sensation? Is this a feature of Gingerbread, or does the Galaxy have a "special messaging client" with SMS support? Has anyone seen a Sensation with working AS-SMS integration? If yes: which ROM is needed, or which "hack" is needed?

as I can see in the manual this product doesn't use Microsoft Active Sync (AS) over the air! So that's not a solution for me! AS itself does support SMS-Syncing over the air, my question is which requirements on an Android phone are necessary for SMS Syncing, and if the Sensation has all the reqirements, or how it is possible to get SMS-Syncing with the Sensation working? As I mentioned: Samsungs Galaxy S in combination with Darkys ROM does the job!
some screenshot how SMS integration looks like...
... just to be sure that it is clear what I'm speaking about!
Touchdown for Excahnge does it... sort of
Touchdown for Exchange has a checkbox "Enable SMS Sync" in settings. I use Exchange 2010, and when I activated this setting on my phone, I receive an email from the Exchagne Server:
Congratulations! After connecting your mobile device to Exchange Server 2010, you can now send text messages from Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web App on your computer. You can also receive and reply to text messages.
To start sending text messages from your computer, close and reopen Outlook 2010 or Outlook Web App.
Now you've got one more way to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. To find out more about using Text Messaging from your Inbox, click here.
Note: If you previously set up text message notifications in Outlook Web App, they've been turned off because the Exchange ActiveSync access you set up on your phone will keep you up to date.

Now I can SEND SMS from Outlook, but I have not been able to receive on my Desktop/Outlook. For that I use Desktop Notifier or Mighty Text.
You answered to a one year old thread .
Anyway, I have a question. Can you confirm that you could't activate SMS sync without Touchdown?
Is there a way to send and revive text messages on your pc?
Kinda like MSN only sending texts...

Sign up for Google voice.
That was a nice feature in Windows 6.1 and 6.5 with Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010. I have not seen Microsoft release this same app for Windows Phone 7.
I know on some carriers you can do it over email. I think with sprint its like (phonenumber)@sprintpcs.com or something along those lines.
I also know with Mango you can connect Messenger with Line Messenger and send and receive that way.
Or do you mean receiving a text message on your computer as if it was sent to your phone?
