The other day while working out with my personal trainer Haydon, he mentioned a little app that allows iPhone users to send free SMS messages to each other. Essentially the app is a chat application, similar to Skype or MSN Messenger. The key difference is that this app uses Push Notification to send messages to you even when you’re not running the application.
A notification when receiving a new message
So I downloaded it for free after visiting the website and proceed to test it with a colleague from work named Julian. We found that I was able to send messages though he got a network error when attempting to send messages from his phone.
The contacts WhatsApp automatically found which are already using it
I’ve since however tested the app with a number of other users, including my partner who uses an iPhone and no one else seems to have had issues with the application, so I’m starting to recommend it to other iPhone users.
The conversation view which looks a bit like the iPhone SMS view
The website claims that the app won’t be free for long and it’s certainly a money saver if you regularly text others with an iPhone, so go get it today.
