Virgin is a partner network of t mobile, so it'll work.Anyway on a different note you don't need to prat about doing this on a s60 symbian as there are a few apps that do this regardless of network.I use sms1 ..Works everytime.

Didn't work on o2, but my phone explorer does, it shows the number though.

Is there a java flash message app?

How does MPE do it ?

If we could find out the "coding" i guess that my phone explorer uses we could do it ourselves.

Ill hav a look to see if theres an app

I had a look for a java app, found about 3 that might be what's needed. But none ran on my k750, i think they were Siemens only, they mainly showed up on Siemens sites.

Not a clue how MPE does it, but the fact it does must mean it's possible.

I've tried the !! method using a T Mobile Samsung and it worked, but the number shows. Also, you can't save the message on SE phones......but you can on Samsungs!

One of our network providers here (Sun Cellular) sends flash messages as reply to prepay accounts balance inquiries. Regardless of the phone model, the messages
-- show up instantly on the phone desktop, you can still see your wallpaper cuz it has transparent background
-- no sender info
-- when the message doesn't fit into the screen it auto-scrolls
-- can't be saved (at least on SE Java phones)

The flash messages i sent from MyPhoneExplorer
-- show up instantly on my K700 and K610 but not on desktop, the background is like that of regular sms.
-- no sender info on K700, has sender info on K610

So it appears there are several ways to encode class 0 SMS? I wonder if CMans Say messages (for Symbian phones) work better than the MPE flash, haven't tried it...

this also works between my virgin uk k750i and my tmob uk locked k810i with a virgin sim. for some odd reason it sent it once and i received 2 messages on my k810i.

before anyone says virgin use tmobiles equipment/network, i know that already

K700i > K750i > K810i (current phone)

For anyone still wondering, when you goto "Write New Message" in MyPhoneExplorer, there's a bunch of buttons at the top. You just have to click on the lightning bolt button, and it makes it a Flash SMS.

I'd suggest sending a message to yourself first though, just to see whether it really works and to see if it'll be anonymous.
