Use MyPhone Explorer and u have this option when sending a message from the PC no matter on what network u are. I was able to send flash message from Orange to Orange. From the phone I can't do that.

@ goldenface or Sootee

Try sending a flash message and enclose part of it in < > for example:

hello

That should make sir blink off and on.

You mean like....

< !!hello > ?

Edit: no, didn't work I tried it with and without the spaces.

Edit: Also tried !! with hello enclosed and that didn't work either.

Try it like:

See what happens. Most people say only Nokia really supports this but you never know.

Looks like that is a Nokia-only feature then!

Still trying to find the O2 way of doing this. No one (other than XDA developers) seem to know how to do it!

By using my phone explorer, flash texting always works regardless of the network. So i think there is a standardized way for flash texting. Maybe a java program could do it. . .

You can programmatically set a message to be class 0, but finding out how is quite difficult!

Well, thats the last time I send a flash message!!

There was no end of trouble last night!

Apparently, they're not anonymous on the O2 network!
