Any Way to Readout Incoming Call/Text ID?

[AFirefighter]

Hey all,

My prior phones had a feature I liked which would have a voice state: "Message [or Call] from *So and So*", then the ring tone would kick in. Is there a way to do this on the Thunderbolt?

Thanks!

You can use Tasker to set that up... but it's something you'd have to learn how to use in order to make it happen.

Basically, you'd program it "On event: Phone Event -> Received Text" to "Misc: Say: 'Message from %SMSRN' " ... and "On event: Phone Event -> Phone Ringing" to "Misc: Say: 'Call from %CNAME' "

Use the little tags above the fields to get the names of the % variables and such. It's very straight forward for me, but I'm a programmer, so I'm not sure if it would be as easy for you... but it will certainly do what you want.

vlingo is one of the sickest apps out and it will definitely read your texts for you

I am using this and it seems to only work for calls, not texts.
