funSMS 3 makes sending and managing SMS messages more simple and convenient than ever before. No other SMS application offers such a comparably broad range of functions and ease-of-use as funSMS 3, a fact borne out by the regular awards our program receives.

The four folders Inbox, Outbox, Sent and Templates give you a clear overview of your SMS messages, and you can also sort your messages using freely definable categories. Depending on which folder they are in, saved messages can be read, answered, forwarded, edited, copied, deleted or used as templates.

SMS messages can be written and then saved as a template together with the recipient list, which is particularly practical when you frequently need to send the same message.

A comprehensive database containing the configurations of a multitude of commonly used mobile phones and over 170 network providers world-wide simplifies your introduction to funSMS 3.

funBOOK makes managing phone numbers on your mobile phone easier than ever before. Benefit from the convenience of a Palm PDA instead of fumbling with the numerical keypad of your mobile when editing your records. Synchronise your mobile's telephone book with your Palm.

funBOOK manages telephone numbers in any number of WorkBooks. Each WorkBook record consists of a name, call number and a memory slot (on the mobile or a SIM card).

Telephone numbers can be imported into a WorkBook from a Palm address book, a mobile phone or from another WorkBook. When importing from a Palm address book, the user can choose between simple or complex compilation rules to define how the name on the mobile phone is to be composed from the first name, surname or the company name. If required, a type designation can also be attached to the name. If only certain sections of addresses are to be imported, these can be selected individually or by using the convenient filter rules.

The contents of a WorkBook can be exported to a mobile phone or into a Palm address book. When exporting to a mobile, it is only possible to transfer either edited records or the entire WorkBook. All existing records on the mobile are deleted first when exporting a complete WorkBook. Either selected records or an entire WorkBook can be imported into a Palm address book, however, whereby a call number can be allocated to an existing record or created as a new record.

Let's assume that you want to edit your mobile's phone book. To do this, select the function "Import from mobile" in the Start Center. This creates a new WorkBook and all your phone numbers are loaded from the mobile. You can now edit or delete the records, or create new ones. When you have finished, export the WorkBook back to your mobile phone.

Let's assume here that you want to export all the call numbers from a Palm address book to your mobile phone. To do this, first create a new WorkBook and then open it. If required, you can change the rules you want to use for compiling the names in the settings. Sample records immediately demonstrate what effects your changes will have. Then select "Import from address book". If you do not want any fax numbers in your mobile phone, set the filter so that the phone number type is unequal to "Fax". Select the function "Export to mobile" to transfer all the call numbers to your mobile phone.

funBOOK and funSMS 3 are extremely communicative and support mobile phone links using an infrared, Bluetooth or serial interface. And to make using it even more simple, they also support the Palm 5-Way Navigator, the Sony JogDial, as well as the Handspring Rocker Switch.

funBOOK uses the AT commands defined in the GSM standard to access the mobile phone's address book. A large number of mobiles offer extended phone book functionality. Unfortunately, however, these are frequently incompatible with external interfaces and can therefore not be supported by funBOOK. funBOOK can be used with many mobile phones from Siemens to configure the function VIP.

Test before you buy: The funSMS-/funBOOK-bundle can be used for 30 days without any restrictions. This is plenty of time to find out if funBOOK and funSMS function correctly with your mobile phone.
