SMS Mac

A lot of money for a 5 year old SMS app. And if it does not work? No trial version? No thanks.

I am using this among some other similar SMS programs on the Mac and it is a very good integrated piece of software I think. It is easy to use, not very expensive with the included SMS fee and does what it says. Maybe one or two features could be added, but first of all it is a fast and stable SMS program.

The best SMS software out there... It works, and it what makes a Mac a Mac... Simplicity...

I have made my experience with about 100 sms of all lengths sent internationally (mainly Europe) and all has worked extremely well. But I'm not surprised as the name of Alco Blum kept coming up on my mails already some 12 or even 15 years ago and allready then anything from Alco was a perfect support (was it Touchbase Alco or what?) pol@wirtz.com (Luxembourg )

First the good stuff. This is a neat little application; and the developer seems to be very supportive and attempts to solve any problems. If you need to send international SMS, it may be the best product I've seen. Now for the issues. I live in the USA and have a ported number. When I couldn't receive messages, the developer did fix my number; but what about other ported numbers I send messages to? What if they never know they didn't receive one? Also, I use Verizon Wireless; and any REPLIES I send are not received. (Of course, I could start a new SMS to the sender; but that's another aggravation you have to hope people remember to do.) This application started me on the road to find a great solution. For me, since I don't need to send international messages, I simply use iChat to send AIM to mobile phones; and they can reply just fine to iChat. When I leave home and have not received my replies, I just turn AIM on in my mobile phone and my replies are delivered that way. This works well; and I don't have to rely on people remembering to do the correct thing to reply to me. THIS IS A NEAT LITTLE APPLICATION THOUGH.

I've used this software since version 1.01 and it rocks. One of my Mac Gems for ease of use, support and of course productivity. I love being able to send a quick mssg to a mobile when I can't assume somebody's at their computer or actually reading their mail. Had a few niggles when I started but lightnign fast support from Alco and his team sorted me out in no time. Highly recommend this.

That's a gold star by the way.

It works for me. In the UK it costs ten pence to send texts via my phone, SMS Mac works out at five. What's to complain about? Yes, there appear to be similar services which are free but such a lunch often repeats; it costs to keep a product in good order. No incentive, poor service.
