Hey guys, I am looking for a good AIM program that uses SMS and not data. Free would be awesome too if possible. Thanks guys.
I tried OZ Messenger but for some reason it won't intercept the incoming text message saying that it signed on. Like it will send the text message to the user and not the program, so the program does not acknowledge that it has signed onto AIM through SMS.
Isn't this how AIM Mobile works?

Check out IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile options. Both of these use SMS messages. AIM Express uses a net connection (so thats not what you are wanting).
A number of people I work with (with basic phones) use IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile and they receive and send messages to AIM contacts via SMS.
There may be better solutions, but I do know these work.

I use IM FORWARDING, I wish there was a program that you could just save your buddylist to and send text to their screen name.
There's a certain format you can type to send from your phone to a screen name.

here's a good read.
Just create a new contact with their name and their IM under the IM category. It will send the message to their IM address but you won't be able to tell if they're online.
to sign on
send a text message to number 4646 - in your text message type SCREENAME(space)PASSWORD example bobster PaS$W0rd111
to sign off
send a blank text message to number 4647 to sign off
get you buddy list
send a text message to 4650 - in your text message type list
to get the number associated with the buddy
send a text to 4653 - in your text message type help
beware - it sends a list of 7 buddies per text. So if you have 140 screen names on your list, expect 20 text messages.
to send a instant message to someone from your buddylist
send a text to the number associated with their number
to send a instant message to an unlisted screen name
send a text message to 4654 - in your text message type SCREENAME: (space) message example bobster: hello
I want Windows Mobile to automatically add "FW:" to the beginning of messages that I forward. There was a tweaking program that allowed this. However, I can't for the life of me remember what it is called.
Does anyone know of the registry key or program that will enable adding "FW:" to forwarding messages?
Thanks!
hi,
I search an independent application (which leaves no trace of messages sent), which allows simply send an SMS (a box number, a text box)
it is for when i lend my phone to a friend, i can send an sms simply
Hi. I was wondering if there is any program that does the following: When you click on a shortcut it will pop up the new message user interfece with the "To" box prefilled by some number(s) and the msg box also prefilled by some text (see the attached picture) and the cursor is after that text. So you may add additional text if you want before you press send. The predefined numbers and msg are obviously configurable.
One example of the use is that, say you send a twitter direct msg to someone regularly using an sms service (not a twitter app which requires internet). Then you can prefilled the "To" box with the twitter number and the msg box with "D username ". So you can add the msg you want after D username and press send. (I often forgot to write "D username" which results in my msg sent to all my followers, LOL)
I did some search and found some apps like GroupSMS, PowerSMS. But none of these does what I just described. Some have a schedule SMS feature which you can send a specific msg to specific number(s) at a specific time, but I want to have some control (e.g. adding more msg) before I send it.
Thanks and sorry for the long explanation
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.
