Hi I came across a really cool thing when sending SMS
when writing the SMS put two exclamation marks and a space before the text. i.e
!! hello you old prat
Then just send as usual. The message just pops up on the receivers screen. The SMS is not stored on the phone. I dont know if this is well known already nyt i find it extremely cool you have to try it.
I'm on T-mobile and i don't know if it works from other networks, it works to send to other networks.
If anyone have discovered other fun SMS "bugs" please post them

Me neither. I'm on o2. Has anyone else got this to work as i'm very interested. Sounds like flash sms. What phone are you using?

It worked for me, Im on T mobile uk and have a T68i, I sent it to my girlfriends myx5. She sent one back to me and that worked to.

doesn't work on o2, tried with t68i and p800, in fact do flash sms's work on the p800?

I live in Czech Republic. It didn't work on the network provider that i am using now, but then i tried t-mobile and it worked....guess some t-mobile bug

I'm on T-mobile in the UK, maybe it's specific to this network. Has anyone tried Voda or Orange?
I tried with both T68 and T300 and it works fine. I really like it.

It sounds like the pop sms that displays the msg status when it is turned on, when i used a nokia 8390 the status msgs were saved as a 'report' but unlike regular sms the reports could be catch deleted.

k, well i just tested it out on my t-mobile sim and it works,
when i send it to my t68i it just appears,
but the p800 is not fooled, well not as bad, it just pops up with message recieved, but in like a seperate box that i hadn't seen ever before, but then you veiw the message but it cant be saved...
nice little trick...

this is a hark back to the old one2one days. At one point all nets had there own server features as they were not x net as today. Can l say this phone is fantastic!!!

Hell it is flash sms feature.some phones have an option if u want to send it as normal or flash.what u say it is the sim command.big deal.it is useless
Posted by dazbradbury
yeh, i know there are other such operater commands, but it's not useless, and which phones can you choose on?
Posted by Gatlin
I think it can be quite fun. Does anyoneelse have any "secret features" for SMS

Cool.....! It really works! First, I sent it to myself and then sent it to a Nokia from my T68i. You get this message and when you read it, it won't be in your phone anymore, not inbox.

Didn't work for me :(

So this is how they send you instantly displayed balance info after making a call. Anyone know o2's?
Posted by MaThIbUs
Maybe THIS is what operators use, but why doesn't it work at my T300 then?
Posted by BOSSHOGG
There is no maybe about it, matinrly dif networks and countries have dif codes. And they would prolly only work on that network. Someone must know o2's.
Posted by MaThIbUs
My operator (Proximus) uses these popup windows too, dude…
Posted by BOSSHOGG
And they most likely use a dif code to do it.
Posted by MaThIbUs
Aha
