View SMS Info
Please make viewing SMS info/properties possible. If a contact with two or more numbers send a SMS to me, I don't know which number that contact is using while also chatting via Facebook in one thread.

push notifications
PNs are not visible if missed. Showing them in message hub allows them to be recognized later and start the assigned app if tapped.

I have a Windows 7.5 phone and I want to be able to save my text messages (like Windows 8 phones)
I know that the Windows 8 phones allow you to save your text messages, but that doesn't help me as I have a 7.5. It would be great if the Windows folks could help people out with older models of the phone.

Take off the Message Preview that rolls over top of screen. Ridiculous that you didn't think of this.
Major Privacy issue. Whats the point of locking the phone if people can see the message.

SMS/Text messages - Delivery time/Do not send before option
I had the Nokia Communicator 'way back when'. If up late, I used to be able to write text messages and set a "Do not deliver" option say of not before 8am. That way, I could get important messages written, without the receipient's phone sounding at 3 in the morning. Yet, I could be sure the text would have been sent, if I am doing something else ie. catching up on sleep as been to bed late.
Similarly, I live in London, UK. With the Nokia Communicator, I could set the delivery time for the text when I knew I…

PROVIDE AN OPTION TO TURN OFF SMS TOAST ON THE LOCK SCREEN.
Basic Basic stuff Microsoft. The idea of a lock screen is it is locked. Not displaying the first 5 words of a private message. You wonder why your market-share is ****??

Joined calls attribution show, and call recording function, so that consumers can improve call quality.
In China, daily call, the caller did not show attribution, it is very humane, in many cases, we will call calls attribution in the end not to take the call.I feel very pity for the lack of this feature of the telephone recording system such a focus on business functions of the windows phone with call recording can ignore so I was very surprised.

Subject in SMS messages
Implement SMS standard for Subjects in SMS messages, same as implemented in "dumb" phones from Motorola and LG. The implementation of the standard is very simple. If the text of the SMS is:
"(Job #123) Cancelled"
It would be interpreted as:Subject: Job #123
Body: CancelledReplying to the message would carry the original subject, and start with prefilled:
Subject: Re: Job #123
Body: (starts blank)This extremely simple enhancement would enable some business applications out there to use Windows Phone. It does not require carrier support, since the subject is self contained in the SMS text.

totally customizable notifications and settings for messaging, email and calls.
Current level of customization is pretty low. we need to differentiate notifications of received SMS or calls from different people. (different colour of message icons for instance)
Also to be able to turn off notifications about incoming SMS outside the message hub screen.4 votes
