 | 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.

 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...

 | 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.
