is there an application that will replace my current windows mobile 6.5.3 texting application so that its not like an email. more like a traditional cellphone. where i can select multiple recipients by checking of recipients in my phone book then sending. i find it very time consuming to currently do that. even if its not freeware
anyone
anyone have an answer does this exist or not. would like my SMS sender to bring up a checklist for multiple recipients, so i can send to 10 people with picking the recipients individually. any help on this?
This application keeps track of SMS notifications of incoming calls when you are not available, each mobile operator provides a different name (Missed Call Alert).
- When you receive one of these SMS you will get a notification and a call log with your contacts is updated.
- Clicking on items in the list you can call, send SMS, see the contact details, etc...
- The Find SMS feature allows to clean up SMS messages by importing older calls in the program
This program is free and supported by ads banner and reviews on the Market.
If you are a customer of a not supported mobile operator, or have problems in the recognition of SMS, send me an e-mail with the text message that usually get.
NOTE:
- Any Task Killer can interfere with the operation of the application. Be sure to place the application on the white list.
- If you use Handcent SMS, GoSMS or other applications to manage SMS remember to activate priority option in Settings.
- Finally, to make the application work it must have been opened at least once after installation.
Please post a reply with the text of the SMS you usually receive to let me add support of your country.

I was wondering if anybody has found a fix for Contact-Specific Message Alerts? It uses the default notification no matter what you set up in Contacts / Message alert. I see the problem all over the web. Some say the fixed it by changing from Messages to Message+, other say they fixed it by changing from Message+ to Messages, some say to add SMS PopUp, some try factory reset with no avail. Based on date of posts and the different phones that have the problem, It appears this has been a problem for a long time, and is not not specific to the Note 3. It covers at least from the Note 3 to the Note 4, which would include at least the S4 and S5. In Contacts, I simply select from the standard alerts that came with the phone. I don't have Zedge installed or anything like that. It doesn't matter if I have the microSD card installed or not. Some say that it happens if the contacts are on the SIM, but this is a CDMA phone, and the only SIM it has is for Verizon LTE. I have a Google account, but I don't let Google store my information. I've read about the myriad of reliability and other issues of using 3rd party messaging apps. I just want to use the reliable Messages app that ships as the default on the phone, not some 3rd party app on someone else's server. I want contact-specific alerts so I will jump only when a monitor tells me about a server with issues, not every time there is a text message.
Thanks!
I have figured out my issues, but more importantly I am figuring out how things work. This issue is not specific to any particular Samsung phone or Android version.
Samsung Messages app and requirements
- The Messages app is the default Samsung messaging app. It is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, which has the ability to define a "Message tone"(S5) or "Message alert"(Note 3) by contact. The property may already display in Contacts, or you may have to press a button in Contacts to add the field. Then simply specify the alert/tone you want.
- The contact must be a DEVICE Contact. For example, in my case I use Akrutosync to sync my Outlook with my phone. This requires setting up an Active Sync. Outlook and the phone sync perfectly, however any contact synced like this will only play the default Message tone/Message alert. If you go into the contact, and look at the Connection property, it will show Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. In order for it work work, it must say Device.
- The contact must have a phone number, and that number must be the source of the incoming message. For myself in the IT industry, it is commonplace to have server monitors send a text message via ###-###-####@vtext.com from an e-mail address. We want a different tone/alert for a server down than normal texts. The messages will show as coming from the proper contact, but it will only trigger the default Message tone/Message alert. Samsung said it shouldn't work that way, but I don't have a work-around for the problem.
Verizon Messages+ app and requirements
- Verizon Messages+ app is the default messaging app for Verizon phones. Messages+ can use Verizon's cloud if desired and your account supports it. That makes it simpler to create and respond to text messages for a specific phone number from multiple devices, including computers and tablets. It also means Verizon has access to your personal correspondence. However, even as a local application, It has built-in functionality to record an MMS message, send postcards, pictures from storage or camera, add captions to pictures, markup pictures, make collages, send your location with the click of a button, activate Glympse so people can follow you or link up with you, send someone a contact, send an MP3 or WAV file.
- Messages+ is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, but DOES NOT USE the "Message tone"(S5) / "Message alert"(Note 3) property in Contacts.
- There is no way to do a contact-specific tone/alert in Message+. The best you can do is a conversation-specific tone/alert, and never delete the entire conversation. To do a conversation-specific tone/alert, at the top left next to the contact's picture, there are 3 horizontal lines. Flick those to the right to open a new window. Scroll to "Customize conversation", and then select Tones where you can select your tone for the conversation. Of course if you ever delete the conversation, the tone you set up will be lost also, and the next time you receive a message from the same contact, you will receive the default tone/alert. Message+ does not make use of the Message alert/tone set up in Contacts.
Note: Even when a 3rd party messaging app is set up correctly, you may still get the default tone. You may need to go to the main settings menu, pick 'Sound' then scroll down to 'Messages' under Samsung applications and turn that off.
Let me know if this helps you with your situation.
When I add another sms application to my Samsung S8 plus the messages I have sent do not appear in the new sms app. I only see the messages I received and I have gone in and made the new sms application the default app. I have tried using Google and Textra for sms with same results. Odd issue but I saw someone else posting about this on a different forum.
Anyone know why the messages I have sent are not showing up when trying to use a different sms application?
Hoping someone can help. I successfully installed Samsung Flow software/drivers and paired with my brand new and updated unlocked S8. Notifications and texts come through just fine. However, for whatever reasons, when I reply to a text message through the Flow desktop app, the desktop app shows the message as sent but it actually never sends.
I have tested with texting between this S8 (T-Mobile SIM) and a Verizon phone and another T-Mobile phone and using two different Win10 laptops. Same result, any text message sent using the Samsung Flow desktop app never reaches the recipient. If I send the text from the S8 itself, it gets delivered to the recipient, no problem.
I have verified the android app has all the necessary permissions enabled on the phone side (including SMS) but still, text messages are still not being delivered when sent through the desktop app (Google's Android Messages app is my SMS client). Dismissing notifications through the desktop app also syncs it to the phone, enabling hotspot through the desktop app works fine, but again, its just the text messages seemingly not being sent. These unsent texts don't appear in the android SMS app either as unsent (they are not present in the SMS client app in any form at all). Any help is greatly appreciated.
