Wisdom, just saw your sig, "Jumped ship for Android"
should be "jumped the rubber life raft for Android" HA HA
I'm no programmer, it seems that our existing dial paid just doesn't have the capabilities as far as having room for a list to populate. I like the feature of text messaging, I guess this is something similar you're looking for and I guess it would take reconfiguring the existing dial paid to do or third party apps as suggested before

SmartPad
Contact Blast Lite (not sure of the limitations compared to full version)
