an idea for software.

2 replies · 1,201 views · Started 07 February 2002

just got an idea, Y cant we have some software thru which if some1 sends me an sms with the msg " contact xyz ", my phone should send back the contact of "xyz" to their phone. It could be a sort of extension to SMS Assist. this can further be used to even automatically send ringers or logos etc.

I was actually sitting at a freinds office & i had left my phone in my car...lazy me did not want to go down thats when i thought if only i could just msg my phone from his & get the contat no's i needed, woul'ne that be nice?

Well of someone can work on this, i'd be ready to pay for it too (but not too much User posted image )

anymore software idea's?

This is a good plan in theory, but in practise someone abusing it from a web based SMS service could cause you a huge phone bill by repeatedly sending that message. As for the ringtone and logo idea, that's sound apart from how do you make the money? unless you enter phone numbers and the amount of credit available on your phone. Ie �1 get's you 2 credits, after they are used the phone ignores the number. Hang on, with the amount of ringtones and logos available "free" *koff* online (these places that charge aren't very secure are they), I could make a fortune with an app like this.

Mmm... you could maybe have an option that it will only send a reply to certain ppl in a list...
Or that the first word is a password you need to send it. or an option for either one or both of the above!
