Are you paying both ways - to send and receive SMS and text messages? Well, if you are an American cell phone user, you surely do; unlike other international users. Earlier, many of you might not have been able to send SMS messages from your iPhone and it still depends on how you use your iPhone – for many are not able to use the feature yet. Quite a few free SMS apps for the iPhone exist but none could match up to the TextPlus App from Gogii.TextPlus is free to download and allows you to not only text for free from your iPhone or iPod touch but also text multiple people at the same time and start conversations with multiple contacts. Though the service has some shortcomings, it can be considered as one of the best solutions for those who want free texting on the iPhone; or even for those using an iPod touch and want to send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
More about TextPlus iPhone App….
The incredibly easy to use TextPlus app requires iPhone O 2.2.1 or higher and works with iPhone OS 3.0. Once installed, all you need to do is just tell the app whether you would like to send a message to someone, either by loading up your iPhone contacts and selecting who you want to text from the list or by entering their number.
The application also gives you the option to enter as many people as you like i.e. up to 20 recipients for any single message. Apart from that, the other highlight of the application is that it supports both portrait and landscape typing. You can also add people to ongoing conversations quickly and easily from the composition screen.
This is one of the unique ways how TextPlus differs from essentially phone-based instant messaging apps. It empowers you to include or exclude people into/from a group conversation at any time; and if any other people are using TextPlus as well, they can do the same too.
Complete control with TextPlus App
TextPlus App gives you complete control over how you text and manage your contacts. Communicating with people also using this app comes with an advantage - if your recipient is using TextPlus for SMS messages and you're sending to their TextPlus account, they won't pay for it as long as you send your message to their TextPlus address.
The application also allows you to block any of your contacts from sending you texts. Besides that you can also bring up a name from your Contacts and just tap to call or e-mail that contact. TextPlus like any other service or app that replaces default functionality emphasizes on your Contacts too to use TextPlus to benefit the advantage of sending and receiving texts for free, see threaded conversations, and allow people to join or exit conversations at will.
Yet, it doesn’t mean that friends who do not have this app on their cell phone cannot receive your messages. The best part about TextPlus App for iPhone is that you can send messages to any cell phone.
Every one having the same problem regarding hiding or locking text messages on iPhones. Recently I downloaded a program from http://faketexts.com/ and it hides the iPhone SMS button and replaces it with a fake one that you can edit. Basically it doesn’t show all the girls I am talking to.
