To get started, download mysms on your iPhone, Android or Windows Phone first and create an account on your smartphone by using your mobile phone number. Some of you might have a tablet with a SIM card. Also in this case you need to register with your phone number. Otherwise you won’t be able to use our cloud features or cross-device synchronization.

 

After you’ve successfully registered on your phone and the sync of your contacts and messages has completely finished, you can start with mysms on your tablet right away. mysms offers you the same sending options as you’re enjoying on your smartphone and is not depending on the kind of tablet you’re using (Wi-Fi or Cellular). If you’re using an Android phone, you can send mysms friends messages, messages via a connector as well as texts via your mobile carrier. In case you’re using an iPhone or Windows Phone you can text for free with other mysms users – just invite your friends to mysms.

Meet our Brandnew mysms Messenger for iOS

Posted in mysms news by mysms

Samsung vs Apple, Apple vs HTC, all this rivalry and hassle is not how we roll. Au contraire, we want reconciliation and harmony between Android and Apple users. Today we make a first contribution to an amicable living together. We are releasing our mysms Messenger for iOS devices. Until now mysms’ core features have been available to Android users only. Now we bring many new features to the iPhone and revolutionize the relationship between Android and Apple fans.

 

Android + Apple = mysms friends

  • With the new mysms Messenger iPhone users can now use the mysms web app, Chrome app, Facebook app and desktop apps for Windows and Mac. Instead of annoying (mis)typing on the iPhone, messages can then be entered conveniently via the keyboard on the computer. Furthermore, our mysms Cloud is new for iOS users. Messages are synchronized seamlessly between smartphone, tablet and computer. Additionally, the inbox is synced and you get notified on all your devices when you receive a new message.

 

  • Also our popular service mysms friends is available for iPhone users now. Whether your recipient uses iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Facebook or Chrome – every text message is free of charge! Pretty cool, right? This means: texting for free to ALL mysms users until fingers are bleeding!

 

We are perfectly aware of the technical boundaries Apple sets upon us. Unfortunately not all SMS features we offer for Android are feasible for iOS. With the mysms Messenger we stick to our principles and enable our iPhone users to use the mysms Cloud and remote messaging. The mysms Messenger is now available for download in the iTunes App Store.

In the next few weeks we’ll add more features such as sending pictures and files. Also, we’re working on an optimized version for iPad. Stay tuned for future developments!

How People Really Use Their Android Smartphones

Posted in Just for fun, mobile news by Lisa Leitner

Recently Tawkon released some interesting data on how people really use their Android smartphones. Results show that if you are from the US and own a Samsung Galaxy S, chances are high that you talk a lot on your phone. If you are a Swede, you’re likely to record a pretty high accessory usage; meaning that you are a heavy bluetooth user. On the other hand, if you’re from Taiwan, you are your Android battery’s best friend, as you tend to set value on saving energy.
