    Nice review Brooke

    Recently I have been using biteSMS instead of the stock Text application. I have purchased no biteSMS credits, and it seems to work just fine with my AT&T texting plan.

    Supports landscape texting, looks generally just like the stock texting application, and gives you a character count while typing. I am sure it does many other things as well…

    (PS. Your last screenshot mentions Rochester… which state?)

      biteSMS has the ability to: 1. Text in landscape, 2. Forward messages, 3. Send contacts, 4. Send your current location (though I’m not sure how it works), 5. message counter for total number of texts sent thru your mobile carrier, 6. message counter for multiple recipients, 7. message counter for long texts (exceeding 160 characters), 8. free of charge!! I’ve managed to save considerable amount of money using the biteSMS service cause I travel quite a bit. If anyone else here thinks i’ve missed out on anything pls do tell.

    “One other thing I noticed that isn’t necessarily a bug but just a feature that is missing is that you are only able to send text messages to people in your contact list.”–

    On the screen where you enter the contact name; just type the phone no and press USE This.

    I guess my earlier comment didn’t pass the spam filter :(

    i noticed that by hitting->new message->quick filter->type any #->hit use this………you can txt to any number…not just the ones in your list

    Already switched to MySMS, and disabled stock app. MasterPassword feature is also nice. Ability to switch Auto Correction off is neat. Typing any number in Quick Search area and clicking Use This, lets you to send to that desired #.
    Also character count and number of SMS’s generated is very helpful. But most importantly, ability to erase specific message, not the whole conversation; and ability to forward message (as well ability to send contact infos) are the biggest hits.

    The purchased version of this app is 10 times better than the free one. I like it, Apple’s sms app is going to get poof’d, as I have no use for it now.

    I bought this program and it takes so long to send the text. Am I missing something?

    Nice APP. Have all we needed on Apple SMS APP (caracter counter, contact number send, customizable answers (templates) BUT It would be good if an option of SMS DELIVERY REPORT On/Off was available regarding to *not# auto inclusion to provide delivery reports.

    Hi I was wondering, what the difference is between the registered $4 one and the unregistered version, Also if someone could explain to me what encrypted texts are and how they are used. Thank you

    Seems very slow when entering the app.
    I did pay $4.95 in support for the development of this app.
    I dd not notice any improvement in respect to the speed.

    Mh i test the the Demo, yes it looks a bit weird with these ugly icons, iRealSMS 2.0 looks better (also not free).
    But the most things can do biteSMS for free.

    Landscape Mode, Forward SMS, Character Counting, Auto Correction off/on,… and you don´t need the credit thing, just go inside settings, change it to “Mobile Carrier” an it works like the normal Text.app over your own carrier.

    Darfts, sent-notifications are not implemented those things are not worth to pay 5 € or 25 €

    i´ll stay @ biteSMS

    I purchased for 4.95 and I cannot see the forward. Reply and call bottom. I can only see the a little bit. Is there an option to make the screen smaller so I can see these buttons.

    I bought it just now and got the key but when I enter the key, they require me to restart, I have done it but it is still not registered. Not to mention, I have to manually put the mobile number on my own, because it has no feature of detecting mobile number, what is shown only landline instead of mobile…..so strange and I should say that I just bought a crap!!

    I registered secure MySMS and tried sending SMS to another person. That person received the message in Chinese instead of in English. What can I do?
