1) Can you change the font size of the sms/email application. I would like a larger font to make reading and writing messages easier.
2) When I look in the SMS Sent Items folder, I see a list of messages which are udentified by phone number not contact name. Should the SMS's be identified by the relevcant contact.
In Contacts my phone numbers are all displayed as "+44 1234....' etc. I did change them all to have the space removed but after syncing with Outlook the space appears to be back again. Will this have anything to do with it.
Regards,
Mike
1. The current version for the inbuilt sms/email application does not allow changing font size.
2. It should. However I found out that, if you compose sms from PHONE > Send SMS ..., the name of the contact does not show in the sms. Unless you compose the SMS from Contact or replying an incoming one which has Contact name identified.
3. Perhaps your Outlook is set to overwrite your pocket pc Contacts in ActiveSync?

I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

Hi,
On my MDA, when I go to the contacts, I don't see the phone numbers but only the name of them and it's well (I have choosen to display them like this in the options)...
But when I want to send a SMS and I go to the contacts by this way, the name AND the phone number is displayed ?!?!
How can I only display the names in the sms application too ?
Thanks in advance...

You can't, as this view does not have any option to choose which number should be used. So it displays the contact one time for each attached number.
Hello everyone,
Before all worked fine, but since some days, also after an Hard Reset, this strange thing happens to me:
When I look in the Sent Items Folder of Text Messaging (SMS), I see the name of the receiver and the date/time of the send, but I don't see the preview of the text of the message. If I tap on a message, I see the text as normal... only some messages have randomly the preview of text in the summary of the folder (Name, Date/Time and text).
But when I synchronize the SMS Folder with my Outlook using Jeyo, for the sent items the text is not transferred, so I see in Outlook only the Name of the receiver and the date/time of the send. For messages the I see the preview text in the PocketPC folder, the text is transferred too.
I have made an Hard reset, but messages in the sent folder has been affected the same by this strange behaviour... any suggestion?
Thank you!!!
Cristian
I tell you better: Sent Items from the SMS Folder are all empty!!! There are messages, but if you open it in Outlook there is no text...

Problem solved!
OK, Problem solved installing the new Build 1033 on my one (9xx). Now Sent sms are not empty when transfered to my Outlook SMS Folder.
Is there anyway to have this open up the Outlook Mail Inbox instead of the MMS Inbox ?
It's showing the correct number of new mails (I think it's just accumulative of the SMS / MMS and EMAIL numbers) however 99.9% of my messages are via email and it would be nice to have this open them up.
Many thanks
Tony
for the moment, it seems that these values are hard coded into the dll. if you really want this, try out rltoday
I have a tidy phonebook, so I only have about 60-70 contacts. I like it that way easy and fast to find the people I contact. However when I want to send a sms and select the phonebook it list about 300 contacts/items. Not only does it split all contacts into 1 line pr phonenr/email but it also display my email contacts etc.
How can I change this ? The settings button does nothing :crying:
I want it to show only my contacts with mobile phone nr.
