Here is an app that shouldn't even exist in the first place as Apple should have implemented it in iOS. ChatPic is a new jailbreak app that will show address book photos next to text messages in the SMS app.
For ChatPic to work, you obviously need to add a photo to your contacts, then whenever they text you, you will see their face next to the chat bubble...
I have to be honest with you; I never thought I'd ever need a jailbreak tweak like Keep Text New.
SMS Messages aren't exactly like email, where you derive benefits from unread messages; or are they?
I guess there's only one way to find out. Against my better judgment, I went ahead and took the plunge and purchased Keep Text New...
A couple of weeks ago, we reported on some rumored changes that AT&T was planning for their texting plans.
It was said that the main reason for the change was to "simplify" their texting plans. Coincidentally, this change comes just prior to the iPhone's arrival on Verizon.
Simply put, AT&T is looking to capitalize on any and every advantage it possibly can as a way to help combat a potential mass exodus to Verizon.
If you were looking forward to the changes with the texting plan, we've got some good news; it looks like AT&T followed through with their plans...
It looks like AT&T is planning a preemptive strike in the upcoming Verizon iPhone battle, with the first big change being new text messaging plans. AT&T says their intent is to simplify and streamline their messaging plans, with the changes due to go into effect on January 23, 2011.
Check inside for the details on the new plans, and what this means for AT&T customers...
If you're rocking an unlocked phone, it would behoove you to stick to the tried and true suggestions from the Dev Team to stay away from official updates. AT&T has recently started sending out mass text messages urging customers to update to iOS 4.2.
Why would they do this? Since AT&T is already on the cusp of losing quite a few users to Verizon's iPhone once it is released, the company is in a frenzy trying to convince customers to stick with them...
Let's be real, your time is precious. Sometimes you just don't have time to shoot off a quick text. You could be in a meeting, driving, at work, or just plain lazy. Wouldn't it be nice to have a list of pre-made, generic messages you could easily send in a text message?
Canned for iPhone, by Sky Balloon, is a lightweight, simple app that allows you to easily send off "canned" responses through text message. The app integrates with your Messages app by pasting your replies into the input field and allowing you to choose your recipient...
Now that more and more jailbreakers are making the jump to iOS 4.2.1, courtesy of Redsn0w, a lot of people are wondering what's up with biteSMS? The app installs fine, but right off the bat you'll start to notice something's not quite right with our #2 favorite jailbreak app of 2010.
In fact, for me, attempting to send a message with biteSMS 5.0 while on iOS 4.2.1 crashes the app outright, rendering my fiendish text messaging habits useless.
Of course, if there's anything we know about the biteSMS crew, it's that they're always on top of things; in fact they've already released a beta version of the app that works well with Apple's latest firmware. Check inside for the quick and easy how to...
How many times have you accidentally sent an email that wasn't finished? Or worse yet, how many times have you sent an email to the wrong recipient? Yeah, our mistakes can yield some pretty embarrassing results if we're not careful.
Wouldn't it be nice if your mail and SMS apps asked you if you wanted to send, before sending? AskToSend is a jailbreak app that teaches your iPhone some lessons in etiquette...
Jailbreaking is without a doubt one of the best features about owning an iPhone. Not only are there some totally cool apps that you couldn't get your hands on otherwise, but you can fully customize your iPhone's look to fit your style.
biteSMS is one such application that gives users much more functionality than Apple's stock offering. Wouldn't it be nice if you could completely replace the stock SMS application with biteSMS, all the way down to the look and name of the app icon? Indeed it would be, that's why we've created an in-depth tutorial for you inside...
Want a way to make SMS messaging a little more personal? Then look no further than ChatPic, a jailbreak tweak that puts a little photo of your contact beside each incoming chat bubble.
Sure, there are many other apps that provide some variation of this premise, but if adding a smidgen of personalization to your SMS messages is all that you desire, then it's hard to go wrong with this tweak...
Those of you who don't have anything to hide won't care much about this, but if you have secrets to keep hidden from others, then the new jailbreak application HideEmAll might be the right tool for you.
The app description sells it as an app to keep you out of trouble. I like to look at HideEmAll as a way to protect some of your information from curious people, rather than hiding dirty pictures from your wife. I guess you can use it for both...
I've always loved the way text messaging worked on the iPhone, and that love was increased with the advent of the jailbreak app BiteSMS. That app added just enough customization to the mix to make SMS messaging a truly enjoyable experience on the iPhone.
Of course, there are also plenty of tweaks available for SMS messaging as well, some better than others. MarkThatMessage is one such tweak that falls into the others category. Is it really necessary to know the exact time that I sent every single SMS message?
