IMSMS - Another Threaded SMS App (freeware)

**stroths** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2007, 07:23 AM

I ran across this and thought some of you might find it useful. I don't and haven't tried this as I'm happy for now with the Palm threaded SMS, but this is an alternative and is free.

What is IMSMS?
It is essentially an Instant Messaging tool that simulates threading of incoming and outgoing SMS messages on your Smartphone and PPC Windows Mobile device. It was originally designed for the HTC 620/Tmobile Dash (a wonderful design of a phone btw!) and is fast and easy to use! Here are some highlights of what IMSMS can do:

Uses your existing system phone book numbers to track incoming and outgoing messages and will automatically add them to your friends list - There's NO NEED TO INPUT ANY PHONE NUMBERS IN A SPECIFIC FORMAT. It will recognize incoming numbers in your phone book the way Windows Mobile does!
Supports "Dynamic Alerts" - instant alert notification and instant jumping to the missed messages
Supports AUTO START - which will automatically start up IMSMS when messages arrive even if IMSMS is NOT RUNNING
Supports color text, audio customizations features
Supports chat log archiving and allows you to easily copy and view on your desktop - keeps all messages stored so essentially an SMS management service as well!
Missed message alert notifications (audio) and will bring itself to foreground when messages arrive
Editable preset messages allow you to send instant messages without having to type it all out
Yahoo! emoticon support
ONE VIEW feature allows all incoming and outgoing messages to be viewed - so you don't have to switch logs to view incoming messages.
Multi-threaded IM engine that can be customized with any graphical UI (version 2.0 will have graphical UI)
FREE and always will be FREE

Looks like great software. Hopefully the author stays developing it.

does it support landscape mode?

Very intriguing. From the description, though, I get the feeling this one may be a bit more of a memory hog than the one I'm using from codyppc now, and it seems like it may be a bit more obtrusive, what with popping up fully whenever you get an IM. Still, seems like something to keep my eye on.

I have used codyppc and am wondering if IMSMS supports spell checker (that was my problem with codyppc)?

umm yea, u do know that there is no download available for this right? There are no working links anywhere dude

You might want to look a little harder for the download links as they are listed under the first link I provided. Look for the download link labled "Cab file install here: PPC PRO EDITION - Version 1.0" about 3/4 the way down the page.

eh...you have to load all your contacts into this program in order for them to come up...I played with it for 30 seconds before I realized that and wasn't into it. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it but it didn't wow me right away anyhow.
