SMS Aholic, looking for help - Treo Forums

Waterrocksnmud · 10-18-2006, 09:36 AM

I have my 700p and am a SMS aholic. I am looking for a program that I can activate when I am in the gym or in a meeting and it will auto reply back with a message I have typed in, so I dont even have to TOUCH my phone. Just Auto reply.

Also I have heard 700w has this built in...true?

If I have ideas for programs where is the best place to send them?

I believe you are looking for SharkMSG

SharkMSG only replies after an ingnored phone call, doesn't it? ...and you have to press send once the program comes up, right?

You are exactly right sir! I went back and read the OP question and you are dead on! SharkMSG won't work for what he is asking for. That is on the phone side. But if my phone rings and I have it set to auto, it will autosend the message if I don't answer it without me touching it

i think Waterrocksnmud DOES need help and that is NOT the ability to autosend SMS.

get help buddy! if it can't wait 'til you finished in the gym/shower/other then there is a problem. seriously, she'll wait if she loves you.

Just looking for a simple program that allows me to create groups of contacts in my Treo, and add as many people as I like - 20, 30, 90, etc.
Then, with the touch of a simple send, to send a TEXT message (or perhaps even photo message) to the Entire Group.
Preferably at least One Copy of the message will be shown in the SENT folder.
Need to create half a dozen groups, like "Close Friends," "Co-Workers," "Family," etc. It would be nice to be able to create as many groups like this as I like.
Also very cool if the program at least could be stored on the SD card.

Anyone know of a Treo program like this?
Really don't need any additional frills beyond these features.

Any / all recommendations much appreciated.

Group Text Messaging from palmOne will work for SMS

if you actually list the group under one single entry- mine is "Fit Club" making sure that you enter each number as an individual mobile/cell number, pressing return after each then, from the MMS system, you can simply select "Fit Club" as recipient and all will get message.

i'm sure you're aware that this is only one message but sent to the whole number and therefore costs for each one sent

There is also a program called 3 Jam. www.3jam.com It is a little bit of a hassle, but when you send a text to a group...you only send one text message. Here's how it works...you enter all the phone numbers that you want to send the text to in the 3Jam software (uses your contacts list), then you send one text message to 3Jam and they send it out to all of those people...one charged text for you...one charged text for them. Here's where it gets a little hairy...any replies go to EVERYONE on the list that you originally created. It is meant to be a "chat room" text message session. Here's how I get around it. I just put a disclaimer at the end of the text message saying that they need to contact me directly rather than just hit the reply button. That seems to have worked out great. Anyway...just another option...and it's free. Check it out here: http://software.everythingtreo.com/product.asp?id=8277

What app/config do you use to set the autotexting?

ffolliet - do you mean make one Contact Book entry?
I was not aware that you could have endless phone numbers under one Contact - did I understand you correctly? Or are you referring to something else? Please give more detail - it sounds like you have a great solution but its a bit confusing.

SharkMSG - I loaded it, toyed with it, but could not get it to run properly. Everytime someone called me all it did was give an error screen that said "application cannot start" - anyone know why?
Thanks.
