Unlimited SMS 2.0 is our latest work - it lets you send as many text messages as you want within the USA for free and get replies as well for free.
Text messaging is also free from Unlimited SMS to Unlimited SMS users.
This application is very similar to the textfree Unlimited application that is already out in the App Store.
Here are some screen shots of it:

We are no longer looking for new beta testers. If you are an existing beta tester and want the latest build, send me an email.
Thanks!

Million dollar question: Do outbound texts still appear as coming from some random server number, or is there a unique ID that folks can add to their address books so they don't feel like they're being messaged out of the blue by a total stranger?

Very clean looking. Almost looks like screenshots straight out of the Messages app.

You can beta in the UK...you just won't get the promo codes for their other programs.

I hope the replies dont go to an email address. Some phones cannot text to them... stupid text free update

I would be willing to test this. Question though - what do people see when you text them? As in... who do they see for the caller ID if you will.
Thanks.

That's why I think it might have a chance of getting rejected in its current form.

the cleaner the SMS the better people will enjoy using it, or as close as the real SMS.

Dear Derek13,
if you are interested in making your app compatible with mine ABContacts (a popular contact management app) please contact me (a private message is ok or reply here). ABContacts already can use biteSMS and iRealSMS and I'm interested in adding more apps.
Thank you !!
P.S.
Sorry for this post, I tried to send a PM but you can't receive them...

Are you guys going to have landscape mode? I've grown really fond of it since it was enabled after 3.0.

Just use Google Voice when it's released. If you already have a Grand Central account, you can upgrade to GV now and start using unlimited SMS now.

There is no landscape mode in this version. However, we are planning to include it in our next release (as well as push).

There is still room for the beta test. Shoot me an email with your UDID if you are interested. If you do not know how to get your UDID, no worries. Send me an email anyway and I will help you retrieve it.
Thanks to everyone who offered to participate in the beta test! :)

We are currently looking for beta testers to test our application (must be in the US).
Thanks!

Clearly states you need to be in the US

I would do it, because right now I am averaging in the area of 3500 sms msgs per month, so I do a lot of texting. I also used to be a tester back in the days of the Macintosh Desktops, yes I am old...LOL
What are you looking for in the way of testers?:rolleyes:

Whenever I try to send a message it says Null (Name) and it wont go through. I'm trying to text a US number. Any idea on why?

So far I've sent messages to AT&T and T-mobile, but the Verizon one I sent to never got anything...

Same here. ATT recipients work great, but for Sprint, it doesn't work so good.
anyone experience delay in ppl receiving txt?
actually is it ok for us to discuss the test here?

There is a new build that fixes the (null) issue. E-mail me and I will send you the new build.

When did you send the Verizon one? There was a problem with Verizon and I believe we have fixed it. Would you be able to try again and confirm?

The interface looks great and I can't way to try it out! The main thing I think would look great is if it loads quickly on all iPhones. I have noticed most of the Text apps take a min to load and even more if you are getting it from a PUSH.
I know we aren't going to see Messenger speeds but I find stuff like TextFree...slow.

Hey Derek, any chance of us UK users to try this for just the app to app SMS. I did send you an email but am not sure you got it,

Does anyone know how to send SMS between Unilimited SMS users?
derek13
Jun 26, 2009, 02:24 PM
Sorry, we are no longer accepting anymore new beta testers. We will accept more when we run the beta for the 3.0 version.
Many thanks to those who tested the application and reported bugs and problems for us to fix.
The application has been submitted to the App Store. If you are interested in the application, you can buy the 1.0 version for $0.99 in the App Store and get the 2.0 update for free (price will go up to $2.99 once the update is released).

Does anyone know how to send SMS between Unilimited SMS users?
In options, toggle the U-SMS to U-SMS option to "ON" for both devices. If it still doesn't work, toggle it to OFF and ON again to have it re-register with the server.

Derek I take it everything went smoothly? I was going to tell you that when receiving Push Notifications, it does not tell who it is coming from. I hope you are able to fix this before it goes live!

Derek, check your PM. Issues reported.:)

Derek, looks like it doesnt work for us in the UK between Unlimited SMS users. The receiver is not getting the push notification neither is it showing up in their Unlimited SMS inbox.

Send me an email with your UK phone numbers just as how it is stored in your address book.
We never tested this application with European phone numbers before so we probably have to make some modifications to it for it to work.

The new beta with bug fixes and landscape support is now available. If you are a beta tester and didn't receive an email with the latest build, send me an email and I send you the latest version.
