Chat app expands on the iPhone’s built-in SMS capabilities

For a lot of people, SMS messaging—more commonly known as “texting”—has become one of the primary ways to communicate with friends and family. The iPhone’s native Messages app makes texting very easy, with one major exception: there is no way to have a group conversation via SMS. True, you can text multiple people in the same message, but their replies come individually.

TextPlus Proves To Be A Keeper

Since I downloaded TextPlus on my iTouch, I have been able to benefit from this application in multiple ways. First off, the application is free. Second, I am now able to text my friends for free when all I have with me is my iTouch and when I've left my phone at home. I can mass text my friends and figure out when everyone will be arriving for various events we like to throw each week. This application has made it much easier for me to communicate and coordinate with my friends, and it is so very easy to use.


Best texting app i have found

This app is the easiest and most convenient texting app i have found. The interface is simple and straight forward and the new update to include push notifications is a big plus, not to mention you can also be notified by text if you so choose. I work in an area where cellphone signal is just nonexistent so being able to send and receive texts through this has been a great deal. and the price is perfect!
