How to insert contacts in SMS?

Sorry for the silly question ( I have never had problems with my previous NOkia mobiles)
having now NOkia Asha 302
While writing a text message I am unable to find the option to INSERT a CONTACT from my list.
The only way I 've found is to send the contact as Business card / as ATTACHMENT, not in the text!
Resulting in the SMS being sent as MMS instead!
How to avoid all this?
Any help is appreciated.
Micamac

Hi micamac,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
The option to insert a contact is not included in the Asha 302. You are able to add the contact as a business card or attachment, though this will indeed send the text message as an MMS.
I checked whether it's possible to copy the number from your contact list and paste it into your text message, but there's no option to paste anything into a text message. So to answer your question, it's not possible to avoid the text turning into an MMS when you add a contact to the message.
The only option is to look up the contact, write down the number and manully add it to your text. It takes a bit more time, but at least you can send the text without getting charged for an MMS you didn't intend to send.
Hope this helps.

How to send contacts via SMS from Iphone 3g

Hi, anybody knows how to send or forward contacts via sms??

It still does not work with 3.0
You can send your contacts via mms. At least in Europe.
This is not exactly a nice solution.
I tried this, and the person receiving the mms needed to login to a website via browser to get the mms. The Website was done so bad, that it only allowed you to enter while using Internet Explorer.
I was not able to get the mms with any brwoser that works on a Mac.
Not really a nice solution
Even my first cellphone from over ten years ago was able to perform this task with two clicks.
Sorry for the grawling.. but having the best phone ever, I was wondering if this
will be part of an upgrade soon.

How to send contacts via sms instead of mms in nok...

hi guyz,
i have a problem....when i try to send a contact via messaging on nokia asha 501, the contact is being sent as mms instead of sms......it increases the cost of sending and also if the phone at the receivers end is not a multimedia phone (a basic phone), the contact sent cant be displayed.........so i wanted to ask that if there is any way so that i can send the contacts via only sms instead of mms?......thnx in advance if you have some useful answer

I am also facing big problem due to this issue. I need to send contacts to many people now and then and most of the plp use basic set. So tehy are not able to open mms. Also due to mms my monthly rental charge is getting heavy !! I saw sharing contacts via sms is available in lower end ASHA handsets. This basic feature should be abailable. any workaround

Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Regarding your concern, the only way that you can send a contact number on the phone is thru sharing it from the contacts icon. This will automatically change the messaging template to a Multimedia Message.

How to insert numbers i sms, nokia 6303 Classic

I used to have the Nokia 6300. When writing an sms it was possible to "insert number" when choosing Options. Where is that option in the Nokia 6303 Classic? It is often one need to insert a number in a text message so it ought to be simple?

How do you know which solution the OP as asking for? Pressing and holding the key is more convenient for inputting short numbers because it takes as long to change the keypad mode from alphabetical to numbers and back again.
The solution you require is even easier, press the * key and select number mode but you have to switch back to alpha mode once you are done.
You could try Adobe Reader LE. V 1.5 is free 2.5 you have to pay for. It thought V1.5 comes with all S60 Nokias. If it does not then try looking for it at the www.adobe.com

How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

Hi,
Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

The data isn't actually stored in iTunes. iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer. SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information. The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure. You can only see the info you've actually synced.

How can I contact Adobe for assistance on inserting a forum in Captivate!?

Hi,
I've posted a couple of times already, asking how to insert a forum into Captivate 4. I'd like for it to be embedded. I appreciate the replies that have come back but they are for inserting a forum into C5. There surely must be a way to insert one into C4, surely. Can Adobe please help me with this....and let me know one way or the other. It seems impossible to contact them directly with such issues.
Thanks,
M

Hi there
Indeed we can tell you are desperate. Unfortunately, Lilybiri offered you the best advice. These forums are user to user. Sure, Adobe staff does visit this forum and participate more than other forums I've seen. But you can't count on that. And shouldn't.
Your request is the first of its kind that I recall ever seeing asked about here. And I've been here a while. So it's a highly unusual request. And unfortunately Adobe likely isn't (or won't) be interested in developing a workaround or widget for an older version.
Likely your best bet will be to contact one of the folks that James linked you to and pay them to create a special widget for you.
Cheers... Rick

How to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

how to recover the deleted SMS message, Contacts, CallHistory and Photos from ipad.

If you did the backup of your data before deleting then you can easily get back the data by the following steps:
1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPad from syncing automatically." Because this will ensures we don't erase the previously stored backup. Then select ok and close the window after checking " don't sync"
4. Now connect your iPad to your computer .
5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
6. Select version and click on restore from options.
7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your data from iPad, including the deleted sms, notes, photos, music, contacts etc.
Here is a step by step guide for you: http://www.video-converter-mac.org/recover-deleted-ipad/

How can I receive a vcard (a contact) via sms?

Is there any way I can receive and send vcards (contacts) on my iPhone via SMS, like I used to do on all my non-smart phones?

Thanks for your reply. However, it doesn't solve my problem. Maybe my question wasn't detailed enough. When someone sends me a contact via SMS my iPhone doesn't receive anything, as if it doesn't recognize the format in which the contact was sent. Contacts are sent through SMS as vCards, just like through e-mail, so the phone definitely recognizes the format, it only doesn't "want" to receive through SMS.

How to recover contacts from nokia 3230 memory?

I have Nokia 3230 mobile, it is now having problem in getting powered on. I contacted the nearby Nokia care center, they told they can reset the phone, but all sms and contacts will be erased. But I need to recover all my contacts from the phone.
I bought a memory card reader & using which I have managed to read the memory card of the phone, but it only recovers images and videos. This does not shows the sms and contacts.
Where are my contacts and sms stored(they are not in SIM memory as I tried inserting SIM in different mobile phone)?
How can I recover my contact list and sms messages from the phone memory?
Pls help.

Don't think thats possible, unless the phone switches ON.
A lesson learnt is..Always back-up your data at regular intervals especially after you make changes...
BTW, does the phone need a Reset ? If its just some electronic problem they can rectify it without loss of any data. Only if its some Software related issue then they need to Reset the device... and hope you have confirmed that its not the Battery that is the cause of the dead phone..

How can i send multiple sms from my iphone 4

how can i send multiple sms from my i phone 4

Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

Hey everyone,
So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S. Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error).
I tried:
-reinstalling itunes
-updating itunes
-combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
-tinyumbrella
and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history. I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
Thanks!

A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.
