Hello,
I have the following problem: some of my contacts have more than one mobile phone number. In my palm, I could have 2-3-4 mobile numbers under each name, but transferring over to the Pocket PC I only have the choice of 1 number.
This is not an issue if you are just calling them, but I can't send them a txt on their other numbers unfortunately - only the main mobile number appears.
I've tried adding more Mobile number categories into Outlook, but they don't transfer through to my PocketPC (T-mobile MDA Vario)
Does anyone know a way around this? I need to:
1) Have more than 1 mobile phone number per person
2) Be able to transfer these categories back and forth to Outlook using Activesync.
Thank you,
Loukas
I have more than one mobile number in my contacts, they get stored under things like work number, fax number, pager number (because nobody has any of those anymore!)
I think you can have mobile number 2 etc as well, ive not had a problem with it ever.
What version of outlook do you use? You should try the latest one, its better anyway.
Hey Pyrofer,
The problem is that if you have them installed under Work, or Home etc, they do not appear when you want to send a message to that number.
I have the latest version of Outlook on my machine (Office 2003) and WM5 on my PocketPC
Anyone else found a workaround to this?
Thanks,
Loukas
on my kjam to send a text to another number when writing a text click on the "to:" bit to bring up all the concacts, click on a contact then you can choose what number to send to. if you just start writing there name in the to: bit tho you do only get the choise of there 1 number
Hi Fellow Smartphone Users.
I have just moved over from a Treo 750V to the HTCS710
despite a few concerns playing with the handset did it in the end as i wanted a new toy.
Anyway the new version of outlook does not give you a option to select text from send messages. Some times you only want to send some text you have had in a email on to another party........How?.
I have tried sissor mobile and this will let you do it in a email you are writing but not one you have received?.
There was another program i noted Vitocopy however this does not seem to work on this handset...!
Any ideas?
Use Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5
www.jeyo.com
Sorry rahulgty
Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5 does not seem to have that function
If you go into a mail you have sent and try to access the text within the email you can see it but not copy it...
Again if someone has sent you an email you can again see the text but not access this text, other than view it.
Its crazy it is supposed to be a smarthphone.
Regards
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

Hello friends .
Can somebody please clarify how to do this :
I have about more than 1100 contacts on my Sony Ericsson P1i phone and many of them has a second or third Mobile Phones under same contact.
When I transfer these to HTC Touch Pro (or any WM device) only 1 of the Mobile phones is transferred.
The same thing applies to other fields too , if the person has 3 home numbers only 1 or 2 of them get stored under outlook.
Can you please explain if there is a work around for this . Or maybe any 3rd party software ?
Thanks
YG
How are you transferring them? Are you using Outlook or some other method?
Well since I have around 1100 contacts , I guess it would be difficult to tranfer them 1 by 1 by bluetooth.
However, even if I did that , The 2nd and 3rd mobile phones get lost during transfer.
I'm guessing that the best way would be that I transfer all contacts from P1i to PC by using SE P1i's syncronising tool PC SUITE to Microsoft Outlook.
I did that already but all of the second mobile phones were already lost.... I thought of correcting them on Outlook but I could not find a way to rename fields on Outlook.
I'm OK with Outlook, or I also OK with another 3rd party software .
Any ideas please ?
Hi,
I've the same thing. You need to use "Float Mobile agent":
http://fma.sourceforge.net/
Sync it with your SonyEricsson phone to have all the contacts in the computer. Then export the contacts from the float interface into outlook and sync Touch Pro with ActiveSync.
You should now have all these contacts in your touch pro

Wow ,,,,,, My mouth is already watering I can't wait to test it )))
EDIT : I downloaded the program ans installed it. However when I connect the Sony Ericsson P1, it's reading my contacts 1 person per telephone number.
This means If I have for example Michael A . It creates 3 entries for Michael A if he has 3 phones. it should be 1 only, I have also signed in the forum but each forum is protected by Password, so I can't view Outlook SYNC problems forum. How do I write my contacts to Outlook ?
I had that problem previously. Which is why I have more than one listing for people who have more than one cellphone. E.g. John Smith-Globe and John Smith-Smart.
It was the only way I can easily transfer my contacts between phones without any problems. So I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.
You can't have more than 1 mobile number per contact with WM so you will have to change the name of your contacts that have more than one number otherwise you will lose them.
It sucks but it is the only way and I do not think any software will do this for you.
Cheers
Can't Microsoft imagine that a person might have 2 more more cell phones ??
How stupid is that ???

Thanks for the reply
However this FMA only allows me to have 1 telephone number for each contact. No matter if work phone or mobile phone, so I have multiple entries if my contact has multiple numbers. I can not see all numbers under same contact.
What do I have to do ? Is yours like this as well ?
do you have the latest outlook ? (2007? or something?) I had no problems converting p990i>TP with newest pc suite, outlook 2007 and activesync...
I'm sure you have errors in your vontacts that you have not noticed yet.
See your contacts and see if any of your contacts have 2 or more mobile phone numbers stored.
Or maybe by chance all your contacts have only one mobile phone
Now I'm almost sure it's impossible to do , I wish somebody could prove me wrong...
If I might just add, there is one other way you transfer your contacts from your P1 to your windows mobile device. Setup yourself a Mail2Web Account up, and then grab activesync software for your phone. Then synchronize your contacts with the online exchange and then you have a handy backup of all 1100 contacts. I personally would hate to lose them, this just gives you the extra assurance. I'm not certain if the P1 has, but it takes the hassle out of migrating. This method can also be used when upgrading your ROM.

I also have a P1i and I bought the Touch Pro 1 month ago. But I am still using the P1i!! I didn't even tried to import the contacts yet, because the Touch Pro is very buggy to use daily.
