Freeteor for iPhone


Check out this great new application called Freeteor for iPhone which works on the same principal as JSMS i.e. sending free web texts without having to use a browser. Freeteor uses some of the same backend code as JSMS.

Looks like a nice little program. I will be checking it out in a couple of months when I get back to Eire...

Development Update


JSMS is going through some large changes at the minute. All for the good! We've been working hard to vastly improve the GUI.

We've added a totally new Phone Book window which makes adding, editing or deleting contacts a breeze. Also groups has been improved allowing drag and drop of contacts into groups. This is in addition to the recent addition of an import feature which allows bulk import of contacts from your Webtext account, Outlook, GMail and now from a JSMS export file. We've also added an 'Export' feature.


The Login dialog has been upgraded also. This gives JSMS a more complete feel and gives it a bit more polish! There are also some other visual improvements in the pipeline for the message sending window. In addition, we're looking into implementing a simple 'history' feature where the user can select previous messages that have been sent during the current session (since JSMS was last opened).


You will see all these features appear in the next couple of weeks as an automatic update after we give them a good hammering in testing! We're always looking for volunteers to help us test out new releases so give us a shout if you want to help out.

All the Best,

The JSMS Team
