I wrote this application after a year of being frustrated by having to pick names—one by one—whenever I wanted to send a text message on my PPC mobile device.  I finally sat down and did something about it.  What I have created here is a nice application that is compact, reliable, and easy to use.  I’ve looked at others that I found on the intranet but wasn’t satisfied.  I think this one is the best one out there.

 

 

This application lets the user:

  • Create Group Message Lists on your phone.
  • Send Messages to Groups and/or Individuals in their phone’s “Contacts” list.
  • Store and Review a list of Sent Messages to these groups.

 

 

 
Requirements / Constraints

 

 

 

Requirements:

 

Hardware:        Developed for the PPC 2700 Mobile Device. (May work on other WM5.0 devices.)

Storage:            An SD card is required to load this software onto your device.                

OS:                   Windows Mobile 5.0

Other:               Must use MS Outlook to store your contacts on your PPC device.

 

 

 

 

MoblMsg Constraints:

 

  • This application does not open nor store incoming text messages.  That functionality is built into your mobile device already.  This is only for sending messages and setting up groups.

 

  • This application does not store sent messages in the mobile devices “Text Messages Sent” folder.  MoblMsg does, however, keep a record of messages sent from MoblMsg.  You can only review messages sent by MoblMsg by running MoblMsg.

 

  • The list of contacts that MoblMsg uses comes from your “Contacts” list on your mobile device.  Further, in order for a name to appear on the MoblMsg “Contacts & Groups” list, the phone number must be in the “Mobile” phone number field in your Contacts book (as shown below).  If the “Mobile” phone number is blank, the contact’s name will not appear in the MoblMsg application.

 

 


                                                                                                                     The phone# must be in “Mobile Tel” in order for

     the person to be used by MoblMsg:
