kshah 452 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 Hello, I want to know following amongst all hand sets offered by RIM 1. Sending group SMS (not send to many or similar facility but where you create group of multiple numbers and then send SMS to all just by selecting group) 2. T9 dictionary (Its not available in SCH-191) 3. Number of characters for all hand sets. (160 for 191) 4. SMS using PC application. Like Nokia 3565 can send SMS using Nokia PC sync sort of software. Please post your experience and comment is this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshah 452 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 No chirag I am sorry, its 140, it was purley a mistake as usually SMS are of 160 chars. I apologize all for mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 I added one feature to document, i.e. can phone book entry be sent as SMS. In my old GSM siemens and Triums had this facility and was very useful. I also request mod to change heading of this post suitable. I suggest "Lets create hand set ready reckoner" RIM_HANDSET_FEATURE_COMPARISION.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganesh 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 I dont understand why there is 140 character sms in some reliance phones? the international standard for sms is 160 characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utsav 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 How many charecters do you type in the RWorld>MMS>ADD Text feature? For me, it is much lower than usual SMS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anujit 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 SCH 191 does support predictive text. I know because I have used the mobile! You have to enable it from your SMS options. I doubt if any of the mobiles have Group SMS -- i.e. you are able to define groups say "dirty sms group" and send messages to all memebers of that group. However you can send one messages to more than one person (max 10) at a time. No of characters is the same for all CDMA mobiles and a damned shame because its less than the number of chars in a GSM mobile! So most of the lenghty forwards I receive from my GSM buddies have they punch line chopped off! Im not sure about the PC Sync software - I think you can find something in the Samsung Group of this Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanveer 59 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 The length for sms on gtran is 160 characters. and i think that should be the case in nokia as well, but GTRAN does not have group sms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) No of characters is the same for all CDMA mobiles and a damned shame because its less than the number of chars in a GSM mobile! So most of the lenghty forwards I receive from my GSM buddies have they punch line chopped off!  This really is a major drawback of RIM! Just yesterday, a friend of mine tired to send me a wonderful forward from a GSM phone with the size of about 3 SMSes (considering 160 as max). It simply didn't come through ...not even truncated! And he tried twice. This is a very significant flaw ...enough for SMS junkies to avoid RIM altogether! Why be stuck with 140 / 160 measly characters when GSM users can send several hundred characters in a single SMS??? Moreover, GSM ops have 30p SMS schemes; and also most RIM phones don't have group SMSing feature! Edited October 5, 2004 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why be stuck with 140 / 160 measly characters when GSM users can send several hundred characters in a single SMS??? 15230[/snapback] A feature predominant in Nokia phones.. but RIM Nokia 2280 does not support it. This is weird. I dont think technology is the problem here. Earlier, most of the sms from my friends to me used to fail. I never could figure out why. Then I had to tell all of them to send short sms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chirag 5 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 I checked up the Samsung Sleek Phone today completely. This fone is quite good with the simple features it has. No R-World or R-Connect. SMS length 140 characters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RSumit 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2004 I've been using N191 for last yr n half. It can easily receive 160 char SMSes but on forwarding only 140 chars go. Regarding its phone book, it has 300 locations and per location there r 6 no.slots : Sped dial, home, mobile, office, fax, pager; 1 email slot ; 1 ringtone; 1 secret; 1 group slot.... thus making total entries upto 300x6=1800. It also has this unique feature of saving a no. in the text of a sms...different from the sender's no. by pressing the call key when reading the sms. It ringtone output is much better than lg2030, so also the streaming stuffs. Its screen res is utterly poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
