Hi, there — very excited at the prospect of usability testing on a clickable prototype of my iPhone app mockup (that I whipped out very quickly with your visual design tool – nice!!). I went into the “email yourself” menu, followed the directions for my ATT address, but … there was no submit or OK button! I tried hitting Enter, and then I tried Save. Both returned me to the previous menu, but nothing happened.

Please help!

Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,

The steps for using Send To Phone feature are:

1) enter your email address in the Test Center, Send To Phone settings and select Save button at top right, Test Center>Settings>Sent To Phone

e.g., my carrier is ATT so I enter mailto:myphonenum@att.net

2) Open emulator browser to an interesting URL
3) right-click, select Send To Phone

<wait>, <wait> there, my email client opens, e.g., Outlook Express or Window Mail or Windows Live or Win-Whatever-They-Call-It-Now-Mail opens with predefined content containing the browser’s URL and recipient is mailto:myphonenum@att.net

If step-3 bonks for you (like nothing happens) then most likely there is a goof up looking up your system’s default email client in the Windows registry.

Try this from your Window Program menu,
XP: select Run and enter “mailto://foo@bar.com&#8221;
Vista/Win7: in search field enter “mailto://foo@bar.com&#8221;

Does your email client open a new message editor addressed to mailto:foo@bar.com? If not then your system’s email client registration is goofed up. Let me know what you experience.
