let me know what you think!

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I am assuming the text messages are not threaded... Given the link to Vito Threaded SMS...

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

From what I read it doesn't replace any threaded sms program...it merely interfaces with it.

This from FAQ section at Trinketsoftware:

Does PowerSMS replace the built-in Messaging application?

No, PowerSMS does not replace anything. It works with your existing messages and folders. The automated messages sent by PowerSMS will also show up in your "Sent Items" folder, so you can treat them just like any other SMS.

I'm gonna download and play around with it. And I'm gonna move this to the Software Forum for increased viewing pleasure.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Thanks for the giggle Coz...

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

My pleasure.

Ok, install went fine but after I entered my phone number in the "Note to Self" option my phone froze up.

After my phone reboots I'll try to play around with it some more.

EDIT: Everything seems to be working fine right now.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

i will give it a go and see how it is

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Worked fine for me...

It added the message to my text message list... Anyway to get it to show up as an unread message without having to do that manually?

Edit: took it about 30 seconds and then it resent it to my phone as an unread message... Replacing the original read message file...

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

What exactly is PowerSMS? Is it an SMS software, or is it some type of plug-in to make your SMS experience better? Can you use it with other SMS software?

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

It does not replace your current messaging application. It's basically a stand alone application that allows you to do use your current messaging application in different ways.

Just it out for yourself...

This looks so friggin cool! I'll give it a whirl and leave some feedback! :mrgreen:

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I tried the send yourself a note option this morning and it didn't send it for like 5 hours.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

i like this alot! i think the cool stats is nice..

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I have checked this out and like it so far. Will let you know of any problems.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I have been using it and have not had any problems with it as of yet

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I have been using this for a few days, love the group send feature. I've been looking for something like this for awhile now. Thanks

Well, I tried it and it seems okay so far. I used it in advance to send a Happy Birthday SMS to one of my friends. It worked. I haven't tried the 'send a note to self' feature. I'm still laughing at Coz saying it took 5 hours.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Everything seems to work as advertised. I only wish I didn't have to add myself as a contact to setup a scheduled text.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

will check it out appreciate it

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Tried it pretty good

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Everything has been working great!

Suggestion: Maybe have an include/exclude list of contacts for the Auto Reply. I love the Auto Reply feature, but hate that it txts my ex when the ***** calls and I ignore her call.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Can you remove her from your Contacts so that she becomes an unkown caller? That way it won't send her a text as she is no longer a "known contact".

late,
Coz

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

That would work. Just thought it might be nice to assign specific contacts to reply to or exclude. For example, if I wanted to only auto reply to my parents and maybe my brother.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Well use the feedback function and fire off that idea to them!

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Good Evening to all,
I have been using this application for over a week. I have had little problems with the app. A few times "Auto - Reply" SMS were either not received or received more than once. Something that has happen before the use of Power SMS. I did also get a claim to not receive a "Schedule SMS". Not enough to be alarmed. I really like this application, I find it quite useful. I do have one MAJOR complaint though, I am unable to successfully use "Group SMS", or maybe I'm utilizing it wrong. From the name and description, I thought all contacts placed in a specific group, would receive the same text when that group was selected. Unfortunately, whatever group I select, the last contact is the only contact listed to receive the text. Has anyone experienced the same? Or has had success?

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Does anyone get an error from the app on boot? (whatever it does on phone boot, i get an error that it crashed every time, so i deleted the shortcut in the startup folder)

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Nope...never had that issue.

late,
Coz

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

No, not I.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

My beta test software expired today and I was directed to the website to purchase the software for $9.95.

Although it is a good program...Never gave me any issues.. I am not sure that I will purchase it for $9.95. I am going to leave the expired one on my touch for now and will wait to make my final decision on this one.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Same here. I like it, so I decided to buy it.

I have no problem paying for good software.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I've been trying this out for about a week. Really like it. It is a potentially very useful application. Especially interested in the "Group SMS" feature. Share DaRedLight's concern that not everyone in the group maybe recieving the message. I'm going to try to organise a few tests in my work place.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I really like this software, particularly the group feature, scheduled texting, and being a statistics junky i enjoy the cool stats--I most likely will buy a license in the end.

My suggestion for a new feature, which is mostly just my wish to have the ultimate SMS control, would be something that could synch the SMS back to the pc, either as say entries in outlook, or maybe just something on the pc that could read the SMS backup files powerSMS makes. There are other programs that do this more or less, but for me it'd be great to see it in this software for a all in one kinda solution. Keep up the good work!

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Ok, did the tests on the 'Group Message' feature and no apparent problems. Really like this particular function. Intend to purchase this software and would do so for this feature alone.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

My "beta" version expired. Now it looks like their page lists it as paid software. Darn, it was pretty neat to play around with, but not something I would have the need to purchase.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

DaRedLight, I simply selected the "Group Message" option, created a new group entitled "Work" and selected my work colleagues from my contacts list. When the list was complete I entered "Done". Then I hit on the "Work" group to be allowed to enter a text to the entire group. I asked them all to respond to ensure they did indeed receive the text and they all did. Tried it several times to different groups. All messages were recieved. The built in app only allows me to text six numbers at one time and they all have to be entered individually every time. This saves so much time and effort. I trust this is a satisfactory answer. If not, I'll be happy to try again.

Re: Introducing Power SMS-Beta testers needed
 

I agree.

That is why I still use Vito SMS-Chat even though I'm running WM 6.1.
