PC Suite SMS programme sends multiple SMS

Hi,
If I write an SMS using the message editor in the PC Suite message centre it multiplies the number sent as soon as I press "send message". Usually by 4. So a message sent to "Friend" will suddenly show up as "Friend", "Friend", "Friend", "Friend" the moment I press and be sent four times. A message sent to "Friend 1", "Friend 2" will be sent to "Friend 1", "Friend 1", "Friend 1", "Friend 1", "Friend 2", "Friend 2", "Friend 2", "Friend 2". This appears to happen with all contacts.
Bizarre. Anyone with any ideas?

No trouble - very kind of you to help!
* Are you too facing similar issue?
Yes - the poster says "...it actually sends four identical messages instead of one!" this is the same symptom.
* In which numbers you are facing this kind of issue?
All, as far as I can remember. I'll try an 'unknown' number not in my phone book later this evening. It's not just foreign numbers or when using a foreign operator as seemed to be the case with the Communicator user in the other thread.
* Is this happening even if you send message via phone?
No - messages entered into the phone are unaffected - it's only PC Suite messages that are affected. It appears affected at the message editor level - I'll have "Friend" listed as the recipient but as soon as I press Send the To: field will immediately jump to showing "friend, friend, friend, friend" and proceed to send the message four times.
* In case of Communication centre, is it happening with all kind of connectivity Bluetooth/IR/Cable?
I don't have IR and haven't ever got the bluetooth to work so I only use cable. I'll also have a crack at making Bluetooth work this evening & see what happens.
Many thanks,
Evan

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

IMessages being sent as SMS with Send as SMS turned off

I had an unhappy experience with iMessage. I had about a 1 1/2 hour period on 4/9 where my iMessages were being sent as SMS texts. I have Send as SMS set to Off and I have never had this happen before. I don't remember the iMessages screen changing to indicate it was sending as SMS.
Overall very strange since there should be no way that the messages were sent as SMS with Send as SMS turned off. This is a problem because I do not have a messaging plan since I don't use SMS so if it switches to SMS and I don't know it the charges could rack up. The hour and a half cost me $8 in SMS charges as it is.
If having Send as SMS set to off does not insure that messages are not sent as SMS texts then what will?

Yes, they were listed as SMS messages on my bill. I was texting all day with one person but it was only this 1 1/2 hour period that was changed to SMS. Nothing before or after that and it's never happened before to me. All very strange. The problem is that if this happened for a longer period it would get very costly and I would not notice it untill I got the bill.
I'm getting my gf to add her email address to her messages account and I will be messaging that from now on. Hopefully iMessage can't turn that into an SMS.
It would be great if there were some way to actually prevent iMessage from sending SMS, but the Send as SMS setting obviously does not work. The only other thing I can think is that it was sending the texts as MMS messages. There is not much if any documentation on the relationship between MMS, SMS, and iMesssage.

Sending multiple SMS messages

I just got my iphone yesterday, and cannot figure this out. I need to send multiple texts at once (ex: hey guys, got a new phone- here's my new number) but I can only send to one person at time. Is it possible to send to multiple people at once?
Help!

Sorry about this news!!!
SMS in iPhone is so cool however it is still at the stone age
I have posted at apple to add this feature and many others missing in this application.
In the meantime, use your email (where you can send to multiple addresses) to inform your friends about your new phone number.
Have fun,

PC Suite sending multiple SMS

Hi,
Here some of our readers are facing issue like Nokia Communication Centre sends 4 messages to the receiver.
If the contact's last name contains comma sign (,), pc suite sends 4 messages.
If the contact's last name contains semicolon sign (, pc suite sends 2 messages.
Hence kindly make sure that none of the contact contains special characters

Hi rusql,
It may sound wierd But could you please check if any of your contact's name has got comma sign (,) including in it? If yes, remove that comma sign from the Contact name (not in address field )
Even i know its difficult to find a comma sign out of 1000 contacts, thanks to search function of Nokia Communication Centre, search for a comma sign in Nokia communication centre, if any of your contact name has got comma sign remove it and then try to send sms from Nokia Communication Centre, If it resolves your issue, please let our forum know regarding the same.
When i checked this issue further, for names having last name followed by a , in it say for example,
First Name : X
Last Name : Y,
XY,
Nokia communication Centre sends 4 identical messages but phone sends only one message to that contact,
if the same name containts ;
XY;
Nokia Communication Centre sends 2 identical messages but phone sends only one message to that contact,
So while saving contact's name make sure that it does not contains any special characters along with it.
Similar to your issue, was discussed in following page
/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&thread.id=30325&view=by_date_ascending&page=2
Check your contact last name has got any special character and edit it, which will resolve your issue

Sending multiple sms's separately

Hi all,
ive developed an application which is capable of sending smss. when i send 300 characters as a single sms, it automatically devides into 2 smss and send to the destination, and at the destination all the characters are reassembled and displayed as a single message.
this works perfectly well.(but that also support upto 6 messages)
now i want to send the 300 characters as 2 smss. but it only works foe one sms, the first sms out of two, will only be sent to the destination.
the second sms has been ignored totally, no exceptions no errors.
ill write down the code here,
try{
          smsconn1 = (MessageConnection)Connector.open(address);
          TextMessage txtmessage1 =
(TextMessage)smsconn1.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
     txtmessage1.setAddress(address);
     txtmessage1.setPayloadText(mes);
     smsconn1.send(txtmessage1);
          catch (Throwable t) {
     System.out.println("Send caught: ");
     t.printStackTrace();
     if (smsconn1 != null) {
     try {
smsconn1.close();
          catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Closing connection caught: ");
ioe.printStackTrace();
          try{
          smsconn1 = (MessageConnection)Connector.open(address);
          TextMessage txtmessage1 =
(TextMessage)smsconn1.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
     txtmessage1.setAddress(address);
     txtmessage1.setPayloadText(s);
     smsconn1.send(txtmessage1);
          catch (Throwable t) {
     System.out.println("Send caught: ");
     t.printStackTrace();
     if (smsconn1 != null) {
     try {
smsconn1.close();
          catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Closing connection caught: ");
ioe.printStackTrace();
only the underlined portion works.

Sending multiple sms to my email

I have at least a hundred texts that I would like to send to my email. Is there a way that I can send them to my email without having to forward them one at a time?

Directelt this cannot be done from the BlackBerry handheld. However, you can use ABC Amber Converter application. This application can read BlackBerry Backup data and and convert them to any desirable format. After that you can send them to you email ID.

Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w

I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
Pl help.

Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
Thank you

My BB z10 send every SMS twice!

after updated my z10 blackberry with 10.1.0.273 software I face problem with the SMS,, it sends every SMS twice! and chages me twice. how I can solve this problem please?

Hi koka,
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your SMS.
Do you see 2 sent messages in your Text Messages or does the recipient inform you they received the same message twice?
Does this happen with all send SMS or to a specific contact?
Do you receive duplicate SMS?
