3230 - preset number for text messages

Hope someone can help, I have had previous nokia phones and set them up so that when i send a text message it automatically puts the number i want to send it to in the relevant box (i mainly text one person).....i cant see the means to do this on the 3230.....any ideas or am i missing the obvious?

Enter the number in your Contacts using any name, or perhaps just a single chracter like 'z'.
Then in Messaging when you are in the To: -field, do a long press of the '#' key to switch the text entry mode from numeric (123) to text (abc).
Now you can just enter the 'z' character and hit the green/send key.

  • My phone won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages

    My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.

    Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
    You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.

    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • Charges for text messages that cannot be received

    Looking at my Xoom usage online today I noticed that there were 5 text messages sent to the phone number of the line my Xoom is using.  But, as discussed in other posts here, the Xoom cannot receive or send text messages.  I called Verizon to turn off the text messaging feature on this line and the rep told me that the text messaging feature is requried for the Xoom line, and it cannot be turned off or blocked.  
    So watch your first bill very carefully, you will probably be charged $0.20 for each text message even though you could not receive it.

    If you are billed for text messages on the Xoom you can contact us and we will credit the charges.
    Thanks

  • Limit on number of text messages stored?

    I have a Lumia 520. Is there a limit of the number of text messages that can be stored on this device (other than memory)?  

    Thank you for the responses but I fear that my question is misunderstood.
    The original question was -- does anyone know if there is a limit of how many messages can be stored on a 520?
    Now, the reason for the question.  
    Let's say, for this purpose, the phone can store 500 messages. Now, if i get more than 500, earlier ones would be deleted if it works like other phones. No problem, we say, because the phone backs them up. so, if i have 1000 messages, 500 are on the phone, but all 1000 are in SkyDrive (somewhere). 
    Here comes the issue. In this scenario, if I restore my phone I can only restore 500 of the 1000 messages, because that is all the phone can store!  And, because I cannot see them, in SkyDrive, the other 500 are, pretty much unrecoverable.  
    This is why I wanted to know what the phone's limit is. 
    Cheers 

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

    I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages.  How do I correct it?

        Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.

  • Message settings option for text messages is not c...

    When i tried to follow above steps it finally ends up with the Main menu. But previously it works fine. I want to know there whether there is another way to set it or i need to go for a phone software installation.

    Create the following folders in your sd card.  Move or copy your ringtones to the proper folder and they will show up automatically on the right list.
    \media\audio\ringtones
    \media\audio\notifications
    \media\audio\alarms
