    Group chat via SMS

    I'm here hunting for something similar, but this seems to be a tall order. Most SMS apps and regular phones can send group messages via SMS, but hitting reply and having that reply go back to all seems to be a bit complicated.

    [How-To] Root the Samsung Intercept

    What do you mean by "temp root"? I just want to be clear. Also: Why is the VM branded Intercept so different when it comes to rooting and getting ROMs on to it? Is it simply because it's pre-paid?

    applying different ringtones for different contacts

    I've been hunting the web for the last 45min to learn how to assign a ringtone to a contact. Everything I find suggests what's quoted above, with the wording being a varied from post to post. But every time I try suggested steps, there's always something missing. In this example it suggests...

    Facebook App Size.

    My install of the Facebook app has grown to 8.21 MB. This is not good considering the limited space available to me on the Samsung Intercept. I've been digging around here and other forums to understand how to manage it's file size, but with no success. Most suggest to clear the cache, but...

    Google Voice Mail and VM Intercept

    Hello all, Wondering if there is a way to have Google Voice handle my Virgin Mobile Intercept's voicemail, rather that VM? I've been a GV user since the grand central days and I am sorely disappointed that VM doesn't support call forwarding to Google Voicemail. (Seems to be a prepaid carrier...

    Hated it, returned it. Revue sucks

    Just to be clear on the DISH portion of your comment. The $4 fee is charged on a monthly basis if you want to integrate the Revue with your HD DVR. It's not a requirement. The revue will work just fine. The fee IS a requirement is you chose to order the Revue through DISH at a subsidized price...
