6100 shortcut

Yes I know I should look in the manual, but it's not to hand......

Is there a way to program a shortcut key on a 6100 to, say, open the screen to
SMS a message to a particular number?

The only difference between crap and art, is that art has brass name plates below it

Although you can program the 'soft-keys' to access certain functions e.g.
apps, inbox, etc. AFAIK you cant program them to do something that
specific.

Hi - I don't have this option in Settings. Does this mean I need a trip to a
service centre for the latest fw?

AFAIK it was added in firmware v5.16. So it does indeed look like a trip
to the service centre.

Firmware ver. can be gotten with *#0000#

are you just blind or something, press the LEFT arrow key from standyby
screen and all will become clear, as per my post about 3 days ago!!!

Not blind, just stupid, obviously. I pressed the left arrow, and it
let me type a msg, but then I still have to go thru the phone book to
insert the name of the recepient.

What I wanted, which was clear if you read the OP, was to be able to
send to a particular, pre-programmed number, so all I have to do is
type the msg and hit send.

But thanks anyway for your patient help.

Goto your text profiles and set up a default recipient number then u can do
it the same way i suggested and if u want to send it to someone else then
clear the number n press search.

To speed things up, just rename the preferred name by preceding it
with (AA). That way you don't have to search for the name as it'll be
the first on the list. Combined with the left arrow function, the
whole process (minus the message writing) is taken down to 6 key
presses.

To keep the name looking a bit tidier you could precede it with a
period (.) instead although you'd need to use the up arrow once after
you get to the search list to get to the name in question. I use the
period trick to separate commonly used names in my address book. I
never need more than three or four key presses in 'search' to get to
any of my really regular contacts.

How many times do I have to tell you how stupid I am?

You keep assuming that you can chuck in a phrase like "text profiles"
and I'll know what you mean. Assume I'm an idiot. We weren't all born
with a mobile phone in hand. Our arthiritc fingers and senile brains
sometimes need things *****ing out.

I've just looked through the manual and can't see anything called text
profiles. What keys do I press? What menu is it in Can't see anything
in Text Messages, or Profiles, that says default recepient or even
close to it.

Ok, this is from a 6100 owner:

Menu > Messages > Message Settings > Text Messages > Sending Profile >
Default Profile > Default recipient number > Options > Search > Select >
Options > Accept > "Default recipient defined"

Now when you select send text message from pressing the left arrow key, the
mobile number of the "default recipient" is always inserted first. You have
the option to erase this or just send as normal.
