I looked into it, and it says you can write up to 100 different people as much as you want.

The unlimited text plan for AT&T is $20? Have they had a price drop?

when ever someone sends YOU a message, it will still use your SMS messages. This only works if they reply to an already sent message by YOU.

I'm shocked on how few people think this is a useless app. Especially for a group that gets upset about $5 charge, of which you could save much more than that easily if you use this app.

The biggest problem with using XXXXXXX@tmomail or @sms ect is that a reply to the text message will not come back to you.

And for those that didn't get it, this uses your email to send and SMS to the reciepient. When they reply to your text, it looks like it will come back to you as an email again (and not use your SMS).

$5 for the year seems a lot better than $15-$20/mo.... That's a big savings if you just use the $5 200msg package and use this to keep your SMS usage to a minimum.

Just curious on how your txt shows up on the recipient's phone. (does it show your name? number? or some cryptic address?)

Also, given a lot of other apps seem to charge $5 simply for a better sms interface.

Anyway, i'm assuming this a Cydia app, not an appstore app. (someone mentioned it wasn't available via uk appstore.)

just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the news.
But I have a simple question, is this using the wifi signal or a carrier.

Would like to know if this could be possible with the Ipod touch, since I can send emails with it.

[maritimeswimmer]

Bite Sms outbeats this cos it goes straight into the others sms app on their phones and in they have their own pretty sweet app on the iphone via Cydia and all you need is to be connected to a wifi network or edge/ 3g networks.

Cheerio!!!

Welcome to a how-to to stop all the whining. This requires absolutely no money on your part, the only sacrifice is no landscape typing.

Launch the Mail app on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Touch compose.

Where it says "To:" enter you recipients cell phone number, 10 digits. ex: 1234567890.

Next, after the number add "@teleflip.com"

teleflip is a free service which automatically detects the carrier of the person you are trying to reach.

leave the subject blank.

type your message and press send.

how much have you been billed so far? 0$

now, you friend will get the message shortly, and it will show up IN THEIR SMS INBOX.

they reply to it as they would to any other text message.

when the reply is sent, IT SHOWS UP IN YOUR MAIL APP.

simply tap to read, then hit the reply button, type your message and back it goes.

simple and free and if you've already snagged and landscape email app, that solves any typing issues you might have.

i hope this helped everyone in seeing that this application would've wasted your money.

^But unless you have push email your constantly checking your mail for a text...kind of a pain


How old is this? AppleChic is slippin'

Now thats just absolutely horrible.lol


I was thinking if this would be a good app to use when traveling if you don't have a phone connection but you wouldn't have a data connection either.lol Maybe the roaming data charges are cheaper then roaming phone/text charges.

$15 Unlimited texting, mine costs me $20

[meberra]

there's something already like this called txtDrop its a web app so its free.

[prodigy]

Apparently most people posting can't read or cannot comprehend the description for this. It's $5 to buy and own it. One time not once a month. It sends an SMS message which means any phone you send it to receives a "Text message."
