MoblMsg 2.0

Description:
MoblMsg is an application written for Smart Phones & devices running the Windows Mobile operating system. It sends and receives SMS text messages.

Features:

Uses your device's existing contacts list. Your contacts with a phone number in the "Mobile" category will automatically appear in MoblMsg.

Simple interface. Everything you need is in one simple window. Switch from Inbox to Outbox to Compose with a click of a button.

No more endless scrolling through your list of contacts. The MoblMsg contact list is limited to only those people you can send a text message to which makes scrolling for a person very quick.

Quick and Easy Group list creation. Just select the names and save as a group. The groups you created are displayed at the top of your contacts list for easy retrieval.

Exclude or add persons before sending a message to a Group list. Currently Windows Mobile doesn’t allow you to exclude members of a group list—you have to send a message to the entire group.

You can call anyone in your MoblMsg contacts list with just a couple clicks. You can also respond to a message with a phone call by just clicking a button.

Many different color combinations to choose from. Customize the look of your MoblMsg.

Many different sound notifications to choose from. Choose from 20 different sounds or add your own sounds.

Message Length Counter shows you how many characters you have left to type before your message will be split and sent as two messages. Also, outgoing messages that are split won't be split in the middle of a word.

Canned Replies- Choose from a list of pre programmed replies and save yourself some typing.

IV. TIPS AND FEATURES

Contacts List
In order for a contact to appear in MoblMsg’s list of contacts, the phone number must be listed in the MOBILE category. If a number appears in the WORK or HOME category, for example, it will not appear in MoblMsg.

Phone Number Format
Phone numbers must be preceded with their Area Code.

Double Clicking
In Compose Mode, you may double-click a person or group to move them in and out of Window 3 (the Send To window). To double click, simply click on the person’s name twice. There will be a short delay so you may have to “triple click” or double click the name slowly for the name to be moved.

Message Split Countdown / Elegant Message Split
SMS Text messages are limited to 160 characters. A message longer than 160 characters will be split and sent as separate text messages by any cell phone or device. MoblMsg has a built in counter that alerts you to the number of characters you have typed when composing a message. If you should go over 160 characters the message will be split in to elegantly. In other words MoblMsg will not split your message in the middle of a word. It will split your message between words and fill in the gap with periods so the user can read the message easier.

Canned Messages / Replies
When in Compose Mode press and hold (aka “right click”) your cursor in the Message Window and a list of Canned Messages will appear for you to choose from.
