Sending SMS from the Defy: two questions

I've been with the Defy for a few weeks and I love the phone, but with all the power of Android, I lack some features, that I used to have in my old classic 'Hynek '. Perhaps they are there and I just have not found, but believe me, I really look...

Two of them are currently particularly annoying when sending SMS. Here in Brazil, the long distance dialing format includes a code of long distance provider of your choice (specifically, you must dial 0 + code of the carrier + area code + phone number). So, I added all the entries on my directory, including the carrier code which usually has the lowest rates. But this format does not work to send text messages. to do this, use + 55 (the Brazil country code) + area code + phone number. There are a couple of other formats that the carrier has properly analysis and sends the message (for example, to send messages to phones in the same area code, just without any codes work phone number), but the format used for long distance calls cannot be used.

My old phone had a feature that allows you to modify the number before sending the message, and I used that. With the Defy, I'll have to look up the number in the phone book and type it in the appropriate format, rather than choose the contact directly here as a destination. Is there a way to change the number before sending on the Defy? I tried, but it only allows me to delete this contact or include another. I also thought to including an additional entry phone just for SMS for each contact in the phone book, but it would be too complicated.

The second feature is the ability to set the phone to send a request for confirmation of delivery as well as the message. As soon as the message was delivered to the recipient's phone, I got a message of confirmation by the carrier. While most of the messages are provided instantly, some, especially to another carrier, or if the recipient's phone is turned off or out of coverage in time, may take longer and sometimes it is important to know if the other person actually received it. My Defy not to do and I couldn't find any configuration option to allow this. I'm on the same carrier as before, so the feature support is not a problem.

So, anyone know of a way to change the phone number before sending an SMS and request a delivery confirmation message?

Thank you very much.

Thank you, j0h4n. In the end, I solved both problems by simply using a different application. What I've explored, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the phone number of the addressee on the fly with the standard application, and everything by asking a delivery report is possible, he is not required by default, may not be configured to be requested by default and must be done individually for each message sent.

But I explored the Android Market, try Handcent SMS and SMS GO and found both to be excellent. Both allow changing the number on the fly and NDRs that would be asked by default (in addition to many other interesting features). Since they have interfered with each other, I had to choose an and kept GOING SMS, I found a bit niftier to use and implemented the number editing best feature (Handcent editor a bit confused with this and I had to be careful when editing).

Obviously, English isn't a problem for me, if not Handcent would have the head, because it is available, located in Portuguese (and many other languages), while SMS GO is only available in English and Chinese. But as it is, I liked it. I would still recommend Handcent and users should try both to see which they like best.

  • Companies in the country of residence, said Apple devices can send sms from one country to another unless the owner knows. If it's true there at - it an explanation why and how to stop this shit.

    Recently, in Albania, I have an mobile number, and normally they have offers and their packages on calls and sms. the sticky thing is they also have the option to go short of the amount you paid. But that's only if you activate and I know that you can go out, even if it's a prepaid number, strange o my eyes and strange i just that apple can send sms to the United Kingdom without I know and this power use iPhone like at the beginning, but never seen anything like this.  Mainly I mind because of confidence in the company and the product, not because it s a small amount of monye, but because I have no idea and I'm checking all my sms with this strange issue that i don't know who he is.

    How ever I'd like to know can´t it possible to a iPhone can send sms without I know number that I have no idea as I have registered it in my cell phone. So what to do, before I report it to the authority and the Police because it seems like a fraud. And I don't want to pay for something I've ever used.

    If your device sends an SMS to the United Kingdom, it seems that you are referring to the SMS activation for iMessage and FaceTime. It is a text Message hidden so check with the Apple server to the United Kingdom. If you are using media supported for the iPhone, they normally do not charge for these SMS, so I think that you are not using a supported carrier. If you have tried to enable iMessage and/or FaceTime, which is the cause. You should contact your operator to find out if they support iMessage and FaceTime. If this isn't the case, then you can not use these features.

  • How to send SMS from a web application to for free?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like more false hope that belief for me. The only way that works is if you have a SMS gateway which allows communication via SMTP. No doubt some exist (search for 'JavaMail sms' through google seems to indicate), but if you have to ask you don't have.

    And who exactly where you are stuck: to send SMS messages, you need an SMS gateway. It will be the first thing that you have store because, so far, there is no reason to think in code, protocols or implementations. It can be as simple as plugging a mobile phone, but then you can send messages in mass of course. Most likely, you will need to shop for a partner who has a SMS service you can use blasting.

  • How to send data from the client to the server using tcp

    1. as I am new to watch I need help with sending data from client to server. I went through various examples of labview, but each of them also explains transfer of data to the client server. But I need help regardng send data from the server to the client.

    2.i would use the data type variant for sending my data.

    Can someone help me please. Thank you

    Regardless of the meaning. Once you have a connection each end allows it to send data to another. Just create what you want to look like interaction.

    Do you want the client sends a command that request data?
    How do you think the response data to look like?

    You can send variants, but probably not worth the effort.

  • Officejet 6310 all-in-One: can't send faxes from the computer screen

    We use an Officejet 6310 all-in-one printer. Computer of my wife, a laptop Toshiba Satellite Windows 7 Professional, has suddenly come to the point that it will no longer send faxes from the computer screen. We get an error message that something must be installed or reinstalled. We have lost the CD of the software provided with the printer. We can send a fax if we have a document printed to power the machine, and we can print faxes. We lose a lot of paper and ink because of this problem. Help, please.

    Hi GregsterMc,

    Given that the Fax icon is not displayed in the window of printers and devices, you need to uninstall and reinstall the software again. This should solve the problem.

    Thank you.

    It's all about existing communication from the computer to the other.

    NET SEND no longer exists in WIndows 7, if I remember correctly, it's the MSG, I think.

    Also - I think by default, that "Messenger" service has been disabled after SP2 for Windows XP.  You will need to change that to start automatic/enabled.

    Furthermore, I believe that you would have to modify the Windows Firewall to allow this traffic.

  • Cannot send files from the phone to Satellite L755-16z using BT

    Hi, experts :)

    I'll get straight to the point!
    I have a toshiba satallite L755-16z for a month or two (New, with windows 7 64-bit)
    and knows that it has BT and I guess that its 3.0

    So I tried to connect the bluetooth with my phone & it paired very well!
    but when I try to send files and from my phone, it says (connection) but fails to send it in the end. In addition, this problem is not just with my phone as I tried issuing and receiving to & from another phone, but always the same problem!

    HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right-click on the icon in the notification area and then turn off bluetooth adapter), start the application (bluetooth monitor) can send files & IT WORKS!
    But this only happens for once just after the restart of bluetooth, so every time I want to send files, I have to turn off BT, then turn it on?
    It is kind of unacceptable!

    I tried Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, and he had the same problem. In addition, I didn't like the way it worked (style and all)... so I uninstalled & returned to the original version of BT in the pc.

    I looked for answers to no luck & now I'm desperate for the answer!
    Please anyone knows how to fix it, help me please? !
    If my email is required: [[email protected]]

    > HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right-click on the icon in the notification area and then turn off bluetooth adapter), start the application (bluetooth monitor) can send files & IT WORKS!

    Usually the BT must be activated using the Fn + F8 key combination.
    So remember that BT has been enabled using these buttons.
