Hi Fanus,
I just tried it with the number you have to send it to and I can swipe to the text field for the message. Maybe try to touch the screen and find the field rather than swiping. You could always try to write your text first, then find the To field and put in the number. I assume you just have to send one word or a few words? You ccan always tell SIRI “Text 31050” followed by what you want the message to say as another option.

I do just what you say: I go to messages, double tap on "compose" then I land in the "to" field. I type the number 31050. When I then swipe to the right once, I hear "add to contacts" one more swipe says "1" which is the 1 on the keyboard. There is no other text field for the body. This was my problem in IOS7 and now in IOS 8 and 8.1. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel <mailto:siegh...@live.ca> To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 2:12 PM Subject: RE: how to send once off sms without having to create a contact Just type the number where you want to send the message into the To field, then swipe right to the message field and double tap on it to enter editing mode. Type your message and tap Send.

My common knowledge tells me to go to messages, then compose. When I activate compose I land in an edit field which says "to" if I swipe to the right there is indeed a "text message" field. When I swipe back to the right and enter the "to" number there, the "text field" is no longer there when I swipe to the right. My question is therefore what am I doing wrong? How does one send a once off sms without first having to create a new contact? Regards Fanus -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
