Send a file via SMS - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I asked this question in stackoverflow, but no one answered me. (just two minus vote)
This is almost a Yes/No question, but I would appreciate it if you give me a complete answer.
Is this possible to send a file using SMS?
I know a SMS packet has 140 byte size limitation, and I have to send several SMS messages to send a file.
Except SMS messages, is it possible send an application on GSM?
Thanks.

Intercepting Text Messages

I get alot of text messages from some people and my partner would like to be able to intercept those messages so he can have a copy of them on his Wizard. How would he go about doing that?
You want all you SMS messages forwarded to another phone?
think he want to set rules for which ones are forwarded
Your "partner" can't intercept them.. But you can do one of two things..
Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from..
The other thing you could do .. is write a client/server app, so when you get an sms, it's intercepted and posted to a homepage/server you have.. Your partner could have a clientversion which regurarly synchronizes the data from the server and adds them to the cemail.vol file.. making it seem that he ha got the sms aswell..
Another thing again .. you could just make another app which sends the incoming sms as an email to your partner.. Many ways to do this.. but he can not intercept them.. you have to forward them either as an SMS, Email or pure data via a server solution you code/develop...
"Either create a program intercepting all incoming SMS'es, always forwarding them to him. You could append the sender phonenumber in the body of the sms or something so he'll know who it is from.."
he can also make a program which only intercept sms's from a list of phone numbers or where surden texts or char's are present
but the program would need to run all the time and periodicly check for new sms's
i would like a program to reject sms messages or mms messages by phone number like i was able to do with my old phone.

I think I'll just go with the first suggestion. Thanks!
MOD EDIT:
this is obviously illegal.
lets move this discussion to the Q&A section

Hey all. Nearly 2 years have gone by since the last post in this thread and I know technology changes over time. I've done some reading about intercepting SMS/text messages but I was wondering if there are now any other ways to do this.
I want to be able to intercept text messages sent and received from one particular CDMA mobile phone number, or to have them forwarded to me without the person's knowledge. I don't have physical access to this person's phone, but if it helps I do have their ESN/MEID for their device.
I'm not so worried about intercepting phone calls or anything. I can get close enough to the user's phone though to be on the same cell tower as them if needed in order to intercept or have the SMS messages forwarded to me.
Are their any options for making this possible without direct access to this particular device? I understand the idea behind copying the identity of the target phone using a SIM card, but again, I don't have physical access to the phone in order to do that. Thanks!

Guys,
Isn't this illegal? You're literally asking to be the NSA or the government, snooping information without the person's information or consent?
Spying on a significant other?
Cheers.
good point. didn't read the last post.

How to alter Send as vCard behavior?

As a rule, I use neither SMS or MMS, but need to send Contact details by email frequently.
I note that people have previously asked how to change the Send as vCard behavior to use email accounts instead of MMS. But the questions are a little old now.
Does anyone have an answer yet, either for WM6.0 Smartphone or WM6.1 Touchscreen?
Thx.
*bump*
I sorely miss this feature. I was wondering if it could not be achieved by editing the registry. Anyone?
Has anyone found how to do this, I realise its an old question, but it would be handy to know?
Yes, this is not existing. Unbelievable !
I'm using a workaround for this.
1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)
2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'
3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!
I'm open to any kind of better solution or workaround !

[Q] How to know number of sms in a conversation?

Hi guys,
With the Hangouts app to handle sms, is there a way to know the total number of sms in a conversation thread? Or is there some way to know this from some system file? I used to use Go SMS Pro, and it displays the total sms in each conversation. I find this pretty helpful especially when there are too many sms and I need to delete some.
Sorry this might not be specifically related to Sensation per se. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Demonaire

[Q] How to manually trim/limit the SMS database?

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.

Send multiple SMS at the same time

Hi everyone, I noticed that if I send the request to send 2 sms via programming the first SMS is sent first and only when it will be sent will start sending the second, there is no way to send more sms at the same time ? This thing also known in the app to send text messages, in fact I can not send another text while another is about to be sent.

There is no way to send 2 sms at the same time (if someone know a way , he is free to share his knowledge).
It wouldn't make sense , I mean , and sms is a piece of text , if you want to send two pieces of text at the same time , just put them in one single sms .

The sense has seen that an SMS has a limited number of characters.

Yes of course , but when the sms is too big you can turn it into an MMS. Anyway , I hope you'll find what you're searching for
