Inserting a phone number in a SMS

It seemed like Nokia had forgotten to add an option “Insert number” in the SMS options menu but in fact the best way to include a phone number from your address book is to press the address book button whilst compiling your sms and select the number that you would like to copy and paste. Go to USE NUMBER in the OPTIONS and select COPY. Exit out of the address book and press the COPY/PASTE button on the right of the phone and select PASTE. Done. Nokia developers don’t seem to be as dumb as we thought they were.

VOIP with Nokia E65 and iiNET

I still have not managed to make VOIP work on my Nokia E65 except when I am using Fring. The settings for a Nokia E65 used with Australian ISP iiNET is found below, not sure if anyone has had experience trying to make this work and maybe you changed something relatively minor and everything worked. Though these settings are specific to iiNET users, maybe share your solutions setting up VOIP with the Nokia E65 with your wireless LAN.

* When entering the sip server name please replace state with the relevant state from the following list act, nsw, nt, qld, sa, tas, vic, wa.

* When entering your phone number into your VoIP device always include your area code and do not enter any spaces or punctuation.

E65 trick - Call from an SMS

Whenever you are in the SMS inbox of your Nokia E65, you can choose to call the person back just by pressing the call button. This is useful as you may have:

- Received a SMS from someone you do not have in your contact book and would like to call them back to ask them who they are

- Reply to a SMS by talking to the person

- Call someone back regarding a sms that you received a while ago but only just go to see.

You can even select a number that someone sms you and press the call button to call up that number. The best way to make the most of your Nokia E65 is to experiment with all the different features and if you discover a shorter way of doing something as a result, leave a comment to help everyone else out.

SMS Hack - Let EVERYONE know

There may be a group of people that you normally would like to contact or notify of something in one go. Maybe you have a group of members of a footy club that you want to let them all know that a meeting is cancelled. Rather than contacting each person individually or sending each person a SMS, you can create a group profile and send everyone the same SMS in one go.

How do you do this? To set up a group profile, go to your address book by pressing the TOP RIGHT button in the MIDDLE section of your phone which has a contact book icon on it. Press across when you are in the menu, this will move to the GROUP address book. Press the top left OPTION button and go to NEW GROUP.

Name your group (eg "basketball team") and then add people to the group. When you send an SMS, press the right navigation key to access the GROUP address book and select "Basketball team". When you send the sms, it will be sent to all the people in that group. Note however that each sms will be sent to the members one at a time. This may mean that looking through your inbox or creating another msg while this is being processed may take some time. Have fun with it! Can be very useful for example -

• To invite a group of people to an event
• To ask a question to many people at the same time
• Give an update about something
• Send out an encouragement to many people
