Chris, In Dial2do you just have to mark a little pause then pronouce "at todo" for @todo, and it workes fine for me. – Pierre, on September 19, 2008 16:13

Dial2do is good! It works, but I cannot get the tag to work.

So you say the word "Silence"?

I find that Jott still has smoother integration with Sandy and RTM. If you live outside the US, you can still use Jott with some trickery. You gotta sign up for Rebtel. I followed this guide:

Thanks Pierre. The trick of saying 'silence at todo' works well.

Hi Microdoc,
Using dial2do I have tagged my message by saying at the end of the message:
'silence' at todo which has been written as @todo!! :)
I have even succeeded in creating a tag with a non english word by spelling the unknown word:
at A L I A U M E ( which is the firstname of my son) which has been translated in the tag @aliaume).

Microdoc replied on September 09, 2008 18:40 to the problem "Spinvox - a UK alternative to Jott" in I want Sandy:

Unlike Jott you can't tag something by saying 'tag with ...' and I can't think of a way of saying @ !
Still jolly good start

Fantastic! I have tested this in the UK and it works perfectly as described above. Many thanks.

Hi all,
I've tested dial2do today. It works in 19 countries including England and France (where I live).
I set up a contact entry for Sandy, call dial2do and ask to email Sandy a message (I said "Remember to catch my son at 5 pm" and the appointment was correctly registered by Sandy
My appointment was correctly registered by Sandy.
Furthermore, the link to the voice message sent by dial2do is accessible in the "More Context" of Sandy.
Nice :)

I'm having the exact same problem with reQall. I had similar problems getting reQall to talk to Sandy in the first place, due to their opt-in requirement. Finally got that figured out, started testing with voice, web and email, and since reQall puts quotes around everything Sandy doesn't recognize ANY of it. I REALLY want to be able to use reQall for everything.

I was looking around for the email to text option. o2 don't have the most organized of sites. I found it by logging into their webmail. Looks like they charge for each sms sent! Makes it unusable to be notified of emails.

@conrad. It's possible to receive MMS messages. o2 of a webpage which you visit on the iPhone. You have to activate the service which doesnt take long. I think I read somewhere that o2 are working on an email to mms service - not sure on that.

conrad replied on August 11, 2008 13:54 to the problem "No SMS confirmation on O2 UK" in I want Sandy:

I have an iPhone so MMS isn't possible, I tried going with the alternative... went to www.o2.co.uk to switch on email-to-text as suggested. I couldn't find anywhere to switch that on. So I just rang O2's iPhone Customer Service... the woman there had never heard of "email-to-text." She spent 5 minutes asking her advisors -- with me on hold -- and came back to tell me that it couldn't be done. "We don't offer that service." *sigh*

I've also tried the +44 and O2 UK thing. Still nothing.

@ Thomas Nichols, no you don't need to be signed up to O2 Broadband - you just need to have an O2 mobile and, I think, sign up to My O2 (this might not be strictly necessary but it doesn't hurt). As per Marshall's post right at the top, you then sms 'ON' to 212, and you should get a confirmation message from O2 that Mmail's been switched on. Once received, check that your mobile number is entered correctly into your settings at iwantsandy (+44, miss out the initial 0 then key in the rest of your number with no spaces), and request the confirmation message from Sandy again. When I followed these steps, I got the code from Sandy quite quickly and it all works perfectly now. Twitter does work too, but I actually use both - it's nice to have the option! ;-)

It seems the O2 email-to-SMS service is now only available if you subscribe to O2 broadband - can anyone else confirm this? I'll try out the twitter link to see if that works instead

DMee replied on June 14, 2008 12:51 to the problem "No SMS confirmation on O2 UK" in I want Sandy:

I have been using Twitter OK in UK then found this thread and activated o2 mmail OK - you have to enter your mobile number as international number i.e.
07712341234 becomes +447712341234
and choose o2 in drop down (not "other")
Now not sure which is best as Sandy version comes as 2 SMS because email header takes up so many characters and you have to reply to first SMS to get second half! Twitter just sends reminder text.
After all that worying I may just stick with twitter!!

Sandy developers,

would you consider getting an account with an SMS gateway that works well in the UK? TM4B might be your answer: I've used them for years quite reliably, and the API is very simple to implement.

J.

This was 6 months ago and despite following all of the suggestions here, I can not get Sandy working with O2 UK via text message. – Dave Verwer, on May 27, 2008 13:20

I sent Sandy a message saying "remember an 82 is a B @note" and got back a contact whose name is "An a B".

What?
