Name: ICE Alert
ICE Alert is an app that could save your life. Should you get into an accident and are unable to communicate to anyone else, ICE Alert can be used by paramedics, or other first responders, to find out important information about you such as any allergies or conditions you suffer from, any medications you're on and the numbers of contacts that should be notified of your accident.
However, ICE Alert is not just for accidents. If you're feeling unsafe or are in trouble, you can use ICE Alert to quickly send an SMS alert or set up a call to either a predefined contact or the emergency services - all in a few short taps.
You can save the text to send in the message as well as the contacts that should be notified, saving any typing when you have to send the SMS alert. When sent, ICE Alert will automatically add your GPS location information (if available) so that recipients have an idea of where you are. It will also include an approximate accuracy of the GPS reading as well as the time sent, so that any network delays in sending the text are accounted for. ICE Alert is free and could prove to be one of the most important apps you download.

When I had a Sprint Mogul Bank of America alerts would come in the form of a text message. Bank of America's site requires a format of [email protected] for the text to be sent. With Sprint it was [email protected].
Anyone know what to enter for this to work with AT&T?

Q. What are Text Alerts? (http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq-text-messaging.jsp 2/3rds down the page)
A. Text Alerts are personalized notifications sent directly to your phone, at times scheduled by you. Manage your day and plan weekends by keeping up-to-date on local weather, headlines, sports scores, personal appointments, and so much more.
Q. How can I set up Text Alerts?
A. You first need to register at Text Alerts. Once you are registered, select My Info. Then select Alerts in the content category box. You will be prompted to choose the time of day, the day of the week, and other relevant details about each alert. Select Save Alert to complete the setup of your alert.
Q. Where can I find the authorization code that is sent to my wireless device when I register?
A. It will appear as a text message on the screen of your wireless device in your message inbox in just a few seconds. Refer to your wireless device's user guide if you have questions on how to read text messages.
Q. If I have my phone turned off or I am on a call, will I still receive my alerts and text messages?
A. The message will appear if you power on within a 24-hour period. If you are on a call, you will continue to receive text messages and alerts, which will not interrupt your call. To ensure that you receive up-to-date information, alerts that are more than 24 hours old will not be sent to your phone.
Q. How many alerts can I store on my wireless device at one time?
A. Memory varies per wireless device—refer to your user manual for details. The number of messages that can be stored is determined by the amount of storage available on your wireless device.
Q. How long can I store my alerts after I have received them?
A. You may store alerts for as long as you wish. (Most devices have limits to storage capabilities and will require deletion of old alerts to allow for new alerts.)
Q. Can I modify an alert?
A. Yes, you can log into MEdia Net™ and delete any of your alerts, as well as temporarily turn them on or off.
I use this a lot:

Android call and sms filter application
I'm coming from a symbian background and have ordered a G1 recently. Been looking in the market place for a privacy application to screen and filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms's to defined numbers. I can not find anything that meets my requirements so am prepared to fund the development of one. (there are several available for symbian).
I've posted a job on elance and have had a couple of replies saying this is not possible in Android - I am suprised to say the least and was wandering if anyone here thought otherwise
heres the description:
------------
Job Description:
To provide an application to filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms. Effectively enabling 'private' communications from the phone.
For pre-determined numbers all incoming calls and sms can be filtered. sms notification disabled and moved to secure area. Calls rejected as busy.
All traces of incoming or outgoing calls and sms that are related to the numbers in the list are hidden.
The app should have the same functionality as Best Private Conversation for Symbian :

Will also require trial version time limited.

Appreciate any feedback
regards
thsese dont filter just block but i thought maybe you can contact the devs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478117&page=12
I have been exchanging tons of SMS messages with a bunch of my friends. HTC Diamond does a good job of displaying the messages chronologically that i would have exchanged with a specific person if i tap on his/her name. However, it restricts the number of messages shown and i need to keep tapping on Older... again and again to see the older messages.
Is there a way that i can copy/download/save the entire SMS conversation i've had with a specific person? I don't want to copy/paste text manually into a file as it would take ages. Any tool/utility/application that exists to facilitate this ...preferably freeware !
Thanks
MyPhone can sync all of your text messages
Hello, I get a lot of work related SMS Messages and missing them means I potentially miss money. I used to use an app to change the SMS tone based upon the sender, but now that I have switched carriers from Sprint to Straight Talk/ATT the SMS Messages seem to come from a random number that is incremented by one each message that comes in. The text of the message usually starts the same with From: Sender and I want have a different alert tone based upon the sender or text within the message. Is there an easy way to do this? Also is there any alternative SMS app that I can have group these messages together as a conversation based upon the sender? Basically, I want the functionality I had under ICS on the Epic 4g Touch on my Note. Thanks in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
