What is the name of the app you can use to locate someone by just sending SMS and does not require anything to be installed on the target phone? The way it works is that you send an dummy SMS and when the other party reply their GPS coordinate is sent along in stealth mode.

Right now I'm using Handcent SMS and it's okay but I'm missing a very usefull feature: Marking some text in a recived SMS and send it to another app.
Example:
If I recive a adress then then mark it and send it to maps.
If I recive a appointment then mark it and send it to the calender
Is there an SMS app that can do this? and have all the other great features of Handcent?
I am not aware of an sms app that can do that. There are copy/paste apps that can get addresses over to Nav as a work around though.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I'm using the copy/paste trick now but I think it culd be done easier.
Am I really the first one who thought of this?
I'm not a developer but I think it would be somewhat easy to make.
1. make it possible to mark out some of the text in a sms
2. pop up a menu with options: Save as.., copy, send to..
3. a sub menu to send to where it list the apps that should receive the text. maps, contacts, calender, whatever
Well now the idea is out there, then I home some developer picks it up
Hello,
I am looking for a GPS-app that can send my actual position to a friend by sms. The receiving Phone should be able to show the distance and direction to the sended GPS-data without using internet.
I found lots of apps on the www that can send the position by SMS or email. But when I read the description or installed them on my phone I found out that none of them could read the incoming sms and show the direction and distance to the partner without using google maps or other internet-based maps. I also found some apps that can show me distance and direction to a GPS-position, but I found no way how to copy the data from the sms into the programs. Copying to the clipboard from the SMS worked, but how should I get them into the program without typing them on the keyboard, if there is no paste-function?
The SMS should only be invoked by the sending party as one single sms without repeating periodically, that means I don´t want a spy function that answers to a incoming sms with GPS-data without asking the owner of the phone. The software should run on "HTC Touch II" and "HTC Touch Pro II", both with Windows Mobile 6.5. Multilanguage (including German) would be great.
Sorry for asking on that website, but all programs I found missed at least one of my wishes. Who can help me?
Hi guys!
I was just wondering if their is a tweak/hack/app/way to set a timer for a SMS.
Like telling your phone to send a specific text to a specific person on a specific time.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
In theory, such an app could be written. The official SDK doesn't support automatically sending SMS, but the APIs exist and a homebrew app could use them. I don't think anybody has ever bothered to write such an app, though.
That's sad/
Anyway, thanks for clearing this one up.
I'd like that ability too. Unfortunately (using the official routes) Microsoft only make available to developers the ability to create a text message, and then launch the phone's sms application - leaving it for the user to press send. The code isn't able to do the sending so an app wouldn't be able to do it via the phone's own SMS at a scheduled time. You would also have the problem that if you set it to be sent more than two weeks in advance, and didn't go back into the app during that time, the scheduling 'agent' that runs in the background on the phone would expire after two weeks (so the sms would never be sent).
There are however some web sites that do it - e.g. http://ohdontforget.com/
You might be better using a web site anyway due to them being always on (whereas a phone might be off or out of signal at the scheduled time).
It would be possible, however, to write an app that uploads the text to an on-line service (such as the one mentioned as it has a developer API) so that a web server could reliably take care of the scheduled send - and then perhaps sending a push notification to the phone to confirm it has been sent.
Hey, I think here is one app for that, I didnt have time to look it totally through...

Did any1 try the app?
Program can be used to control phone when it`s not with you, was stolen, lost, etc...
to communication uses only SMS messages, program after receiving SMS checks whether it contains a key and performs assigned functions: location, alarm, lock, erase
rest can be guessed from screenshots

Dear Developers
Is there any developers out there please who is willing to make an app that we can send text messages worldwide using our mobile phone number over WiFi, 3G and 4G.
Make the app available on Google playstore and apple app store please or if its for android make the apk available to install
I'm from UK London
I have found two apps that work on android and apple app store is 24sms works not all the time sms are sent and I was using blacbocs nearly two days then the app stopped working cause the when i try to get the verification code via SMS its says error before they sent me the code to enter then I enter the code I to the app then it was good to use.
The free text messaging should recognize our mobile number or we input the number in the app so the app recognizes it and verifies its that number we are using.
If I send a text from UK London to any countires they should receive my text instantly.
For developers I think the making the app dose not require that much work on it becuase just the case of you routing the making the text messaging go via data connection.
PLEASE PLEASE we need something like that at the moment there are some apps claiming to send free SMS worldwide but that don't work all the time.
I got an apk file called Namaste free SMS this works sends using my mobile number but sends same text twice without my number second text containing I like to phone as the sender first text contains my number as sender.
Here is the apk file upfile.mobi/373931 if any developers can modify or improve the app or chage the look and feel and remove the second text that sends sender i like to phone click on download next to the green arrow facing down
