SMS text from Touch, but replies to phone

I've been researching extensively looking for the easiest method of SMS texting using my Touch, but with my company provided phone and text plan. My company phone is a Motorola VE465 which is a basic flip phone that is a chore to text on.
On the desktop I use a service through Callwave online which as usual you select your contact, type your message and click send. What is nice about Callwave is that when recipients reply, it goes to my PHONE and NOT an email adress or IM client. That is a very nice convenience for obvious reasons. I'm not always around a wifi signal.
Last night, I found this web app at sms.dynadel.com/ that offers thats functionality though not very gracefully. You can enter a number of contacts and in the "Reply to" field enter your 10 digit mobile number@your carriers sms domain and the replies go to my phone rather than a 3rd party client or email (mentioned many times here before). They also have a paid app called SMS Station, but it is unclear if the app offers that same feature.
This has been the best method I've see. I'd love to see a better one for this with similar needs to mine.I also wondered if there is a way to "spoof" and email account with the reply to address containing the 10 digit mobile number@your carriers sms domain.

A little searching and I found my answer.

How to delete SMS text from the hard drive of a IPhone 3gs

How do I delete SMS text from the hard drive of a iPhone 3GS

If you want to delete the messages from within the text app, swipe over the name or number of the sender and hit delete.
If you are afraid that someone will be able to restore them by ckecking your HD, you will have to set up the phone "as new device" or choose "erase all content and Settings" in Settings/General/Reset. But this willerase the whole phone, not only your text messages.

How do i send sms messages from my mac to a phone

the gurl from apple said i could send sms messages from my imac to a phone. How do i di that?

Hi Lanny,
Actually those two pics don't tell you what you need to know.
The First is correct as it can be from the Messages app but the second goes to no way to tell you how to do and b fact does not even mention SMS messages.
@ 10411
You will need to have an AIM or AIM Valid name that you can add to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts at the + icon below the list.
Next the Mac need to be in the United States.
Go to System Preferences > Language and Text and set the Region to the Untied States.
(In iChat this added SMS items to some of the Menus in iChat)
The iPhone has to be on a Carrier that is in the United States See list
Which in turn means the phone number is a United States one (+1 country code)
This means you add the Cell/mobile number as if it were a Buddy to an AIM list.
So Creating an Address Card for "SMS Test" and adding the mock number +1234567890 to that I get this in Messages (Mousing over the Name to see the "Screen Name" which is the number in this case)
Basically this is a feature that iChat has always had since AIM included a link to SMS to certain Phones.
Messages does everything iChat did/does and this includes SMS Messaging via an AIM Buddy list even though in this case the Menu items has disappeared.
AS has been said there are also other methods.

I have an iphone 4 I can get texts from all but I person. Why? They can get mine

I have an iphone4 I can get texts from everyone but one person. They can get mine. This started all of a sudden. Any suggestions?

the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now

Wasn't responding to you. Please show me links where this helped.
Apple isn't showing any system problems: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

I receive a text from someone but it has an e-mail address at top of message. When I reply and send , it gets returned. Why? and how was original message sent?

I have downloaded I-Cloud and the new ios program. Where do my text go through now if they don't show up on my bill in the data usage section? When I get a text from friends sometime their e-mail address shows at the top of the message instead of their name like it use to. Then when I reply it gets returned. They tell me they are sending it through the normal text like they use to.

You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?)

How do I copy text from other users' replies?

I have seen people post text from other replies in a discussion. Basically, it shows a screenshot of their reply and under it is your own. How do you do this? Is it something that unlocks at a future level?
Thanks,

Howdy Roger...
I said:
... if you know how to set "Size" while in Simple Editor, ALL my problems ...
I knew about the Advanced Editor... I just wonder why that very cool feature would not be considered "Simple"? It's not like there is not enough space for it
Also C O L O R would be nice...
Again plenty of room - for that matter, there is "almost enough room for ALL the tools on a single row. I'll let you switch to the Advanced Editor to compare
They could get rid of a couple of tools, IMHO. I'll speak to both Editors and once you see my point, you will see that all would definitely fit on one row.
Insert Video - I have NEVER seen even one video posted here
Table tool is NOT WYSIWYG when you post the reply (I tried but once and was so disappointed I gave up after that one attempt)
Spelling is pointless - all browsers worth using have their own built in spell active checker
Insert LINK is not nearly robust enough to warrant using it - except if one knows about the search capabilities in the pane's TABs
'Style' can all be done with Command + "a number key"
I have used "Font Family" (only see the title of the menu as it is loading) only once that I can think of
Why would a font appear different between Ppt for mac and mail? specifically the lower case "v"... spelled in a sequence
Justify = I have used TWICEto show that I could actually do it when pasting an Arabic GoogleTranslate reply = pasted translated composition of the the character order to begin with and got worse when right justified
HTML = I can never imagine needing to toggle this on and off but some one may
OR -- the Reply button could just invoke the Advanced Editor to begin with!!
best as always

Backup SMS texts from Blackberry to PC?

Hi there,
Is there a way I can backup or transfer my SMS text messages from my Blackberry Pearl to my PC?
I have a large number of texts, and there are important ones that I want to save to PC - that will save the timestamp as well as the text itself.
I have done a search and could only find software to send SMS from my PC, but no mention of whethe rI can import SMS from BB to PC.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

Please see my post today 11/21 called "SIM card full, can't download all SMS messages" for a similiar problem and a partial solution in that I can get the most recent 8 messages but not the older ones.
Using the BB Desktop Manager from RIM, Version 5.0.1.18 dated Agust 09, the "Backup and Restore" function will backup these into an IPD data base format. To read this, I downloaded and installed a 30 day free usage product called ABC Amber BB Converter. It is a crippled app but will show you the messages.
Hopefully someone else will respond to either your or my request for help in downloading all the SMS messages.

Move SMS texts from iphone 3g to Iphone4

Morning all. A nice delivery man has just brought me a shiney new Iphone4 which I would like to fill up with my old previous SMS text messages. The rest of the stuff I can sync without an issue. Is there any way of copying the data from one to the other?
Cheers Simon

I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to transfer my SMS's to my new iPhone 4
I saw all the above methods
Sorry to say but all are very confusing
so I found this
Extremely simple and easy method to solve (The SMS Transfer) issue
I wanted to share with the community
well here it goes
Step One : Backup both your iPhones
Step Two : Search and download iTools for iPhone free download (for PC or MAC)
Step Three : Open itools & plug in your iphone 3GS
Step Four : Your iPhone will be detected & all details would be displayed on the left Panel
Step Five : Click on File Sytems
Step Six : On the right Panel click on filesystem (Jailbreak)
Step Seven : Go to filesystem/user/ library/sms
Step Eight : On the far right panel, you will see some very important folders and files
Step Nine : Simply Select All, Right Click and copy em in a new Folder may be on the desktop                     (Name it iPhone 3GS SMS)
Step Ten : Disconnect iphone 3GS and connect iPhone 4
Step Eleven : Repeat the steps from Five to Nine (Only copy them in a new folder and name it                      iPhone 4 SMS. (Note : We dont need these files n folders, but just in case                            something goes wron, we can replace them back)
Step Twelve : Copy the files n folders from the directory on the desktop named iPhone 3GS SMS
                     and paste the in the iphone 4 here (the program will ask wether to replace                             existing files n folders, in some chinese lingo, but u can see Y and N on each                           buttons so click on the left (Y)
And thats about it, You are done, As simple as that, All the SMS on the iPhone 3GS are transfered on the new device.
Screen Shot Attached for your reference
Caution : This worked like a charm for me, but it may not be the same for everyone so just in case anything goes wrong you can replace the previously saved files n folders in iPhone 4 SMS directory back. I am very clear, I am not responsible for any loss or damage, Do at your own risk.

Cant Send SMS Text from iPhone

I cant send any SMS texts. I can send iMessages and MMS (pictures), so when i want to text a non-iphone user i have to text, let it fail to deliver, then take a screenshot of this and send screenshot pic to the person.

Manual cutting of a SIM is always a risk, as you have witnessed. It is best to get a SIM directly from your carrier that is designed for your particular model of the phone. That eliminates these types of problems.

Can't receive SMS texts from non-iPhone users

My phone suddenly stopped letting me receive texts from non iPhone users yesterday. Since then, I have powered my phone on and off, reset the network, and power cycle. My mother has been in the hospital and I have to be here with her all day. I have no time to go to a verizon store. I've only had the phone a week and I'm really disappointed with this. Seeing my mom is in the hospital, I really need this to be working, but I'd don't even know of something else to try.

Ktoole, I can understand how frustrating this could be. How long has this been an issue? Have you ever been able to receive texts from non-iPhone users? Do you have iMessage on or off? Have you tried to restore the phone through iTunes?

Need to transfer my sms texts from my old iphone

Hi there,
anyone knows how to transfer their old sms messages from an iphone S to a 4S?
thanks

Thanks Allan.
I will give it a try again. This is what I did "unknowingly" last week, and I only copied right up to the time I las sync my old iphone (three months ago).
I justsync that old iphone today. Do you think it will bring across everything this time?.
I am backing up the new phone just in case, but it's taking a wee while.

CS6 doesn't paste latest text from clipboard but older one

OSX 10.8.2, InDesign CS6
I cannot paste text from word mac 2011 in Indesign CS6. When I try to paste the text in InDesign the text from before the current copying appears. (although the right text is in the clipboard). The problem is that InDesign shuts down after trying this 3-4 times.
Does anyone know this problem and has a solution?

No, its correct but not the text from the last copying but the one before.
This is how it goes:
1. I copy text from word
2. Pasting in InDesign without any problems
3. Copying another text from word
4. Pasting in InDesign show the text from step 2 and not the copied text from step 3
5. delete the pasted text
6. Pasting again shows the correct text from step 3
after repeating this 3-4 time InDesign quits
I hope my explanation is understanable
best regards
