I'm looking for a SMS shortcut software that creates a shortcut on the Today screen, and when I tap on the shortcut, and it goes straight to a Create new SMS with my pre-selected name and number already entered. Is there any a software that can do this?

QUOTE(ahnien @ Nov 1 2008, 02:44 PM) wat u mean by preselected name n number??? I already have a shortcut to create new sms. But when I create new sms, I have to key in, e.g. my wife's name, then click Check Name, then have to select her name from the list (so many clicks already), and only then can I start typing my sms. I thought there is a software somewhere that I can just click and a new sms with my wife's number is already entered. That will make the whole thing faster, and easier, especially while walking/driving.jus a shortcut to go into "create new sms" got la... but... tat feature ur looking for.... ?  |

I thought there is a software somewhere that I can just click and a new sms with my wife's number is already entered. That will make the whole thing faster, and easier, especially while walking/driving. In case anyone is facing the problem as me, I found the solution already. This is taken from another forum:QUOTE Ok now I SMS my best friend like a hundred times a day. I am wonderng if there is some way I can make a shortcut on my phone to start a new SMS that has already been addressed to my friend and is ready to have me start typing my message with one click. Now I use Facade on my WM5 Smartphone Edition so if I can somehow create a shortcut on my Facae launchbar to do this - man that would be SO sweet! Any suggestions? Works great! I created a text file with the above strings, save as link file, assigned the link to a hardware button, and everytime I want to send an sms to my wife (e.g. while driving), I just press the button and start typing the message. ------------------------------------------------- Hoopla! I have located the solution, you can create a shortcut (Something.lnk) and then use it in whatever launcher app you may use. (Facade, Orchid, etc). To create a shortcut to SMS (or MMS) a specific phone number, create a text file and put in the following: 20#\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to "888-888-8888" -body "" where "888-888-8888" is the phone number of the person you want to SMS or MMS. then save the text file as Something.lnk and put it where you want to access it. As you could guess, if you want to also automatically insert a body, put it in the body string.  |

Baronic, I'm using one of your recommended contacts software iContact. It's extremely useful and much much better than WM's original contacts software. Thanks for the recommendation. By the way, I'm using supware.net version of iContact, not using Burt's edition of iContact...
But the thing is, under the original WM's contacts, it is already difficult to make a video call...only one (obscure) menu has the "make video call" option. But when I use iContact, the option to make video call seems to have disappeared. I have 2 questions..... 1. how to make video calls when using iContacts? 2. And is there a separate software that can specifically handle and manage video calls much easily? |
