- Use SMS even in areas where you can't even get a mobile signal.
- Send official SMS messages that need to be stamped with your company name as the sender.
- Copy and paste information from Safari, Mail (or any other application) to your own phone or a friend's.
- Keep messages off your phone's memory for security or privacy reasons.
- Very resource efficient: only a 276 KB download that uses minimal hard disk space, and will go unnoticed from a CPU / memory usage point of view.

The price per message hasn't dropped despite most carriers now providing much cheaper text rates than they did a couple of years. I currently also have a few credits left (enough for a couple of messages) which the software refuses to let me use.
It feels like this app has been abandoned by its developers. They are happy to take my money but don't seem to care whether I continue to use their service or not.

You can buy either 500, 1000 or 4500 credits. Sending sms to different countries costs different amounts, but lots of places seem to need three credits. So if you buy 500 an average sms will cost £0.098, if you buy 1000 the cost is £0.084 and if you buy 4500 the cost is £0.078. That last is about half what it costs me to send an international sms, so it looks prety good value. But of course, I'd like it to be even cheaper!
What could be improved? Be good if you could type a name from your address book into the number box and it would find the mobile number.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose (and just to be cautious, use a throwaway email account).
