What is SonicHANDY?
SonicHANDY Mobile Phone Manager is a Windows application that enables you to manage and operate your mobile device (cell phone; handy) from the PC to make your life easier.
Messaging capabilities are stressed out, so you can read and send SMS messages, as well as save, backup and make a base out of all your messages and contacts - no SMS or contact is lost ever again.
SonicHANDY is ideal for a power SMS user, but easy to use and packed with features to help you get the most out of your mobile phone.
Which mobile phones does SonicHANDY support?
Short answer: Almost every GSM-conformant mobile phone.
SonicHANDY was tested and proven to work with Sony Ericsson, Samsung, and Siemens mobile phones, as well as numerous others, as you can see in
this table.
This list will be updated as more phone manufacturers are tested.
Why doesn't SonicHANDY work with my mobile phone?
Here's the thing.
SonicHANDY is designed to follow certain standards in order to be able to work with many different brands of mobile devices.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of buggy devices on the market which don't care much for standards, or even haven't got some crucial features implemented at all.
If a device doesn't follow standards SonicHANDY can (and in many cases is) able to recognize that, and work around the problem.
But SonicHANDY simply can't work with a device which lacks some crucial features.
The only choice then is to upgrade devices' firmware and try again.
Can I send free messages with SonicHANDY?
SonicHANDY is a way to manage and operate your mobile device from the PC to make your life easier.
