Smartphone messaging pants ?


Recommended Posts

Just tried using messaging for the first time and it's either a pile of poo or I'm doing something wrong !

I went into messaging, selected a contact, waited for it to give me a list of possible numbers, but nothing.

So I hit send, expecting it to come up with a list of possible numbers and.... I was informed that the message had been sent successfully..... to someone who doesn't even have a phone number in their contact details.

Surely there must be better than this ?

What did the contact have stored on it? If there's only one option (say you've only got one number or one e-mail address stored on a contact) it's clever enough not to ask which of your one you want to use.

Don't forget, you can text to landlines (in the UK anyway) so it doesn't just look for a mobile number anymore! ;)

Thought of that , that's why I sent a message to someone with no phone number at all and one to someone with multiple numbers.

Oops, apologies.

They DID both have one number, but it was a landline.

And even though we can send texts to landlines in the UK, we don't always want to do it.

B-(

Very true - one thing I learnt a while back was don't send a sweary text meant for your friend Graham's mobile to your Gran's landline by mistake!

I'm sure you can work out the rest of the story for yourself..... :oops:
