WHat is the best SMS Alternative on the iPhone?

I've been using Y! Messenger backgrounded on my Jailbroken Iphone v 2.1 but it often crashes do to the crappy amount of memory in the device or delays received and sent messages.

What do you guys use?

why don't you just use e-mail. you get e-mails on your phone, just send them through your e-mail, set up a yahoo push account if you don't have mobile me. it's instant.

as far as apps, i don't really know of any as i've never had a need w/ unlimited SMS. someone else may be able to help you out there.

With the 3.0 software you won't even need an alternate.. from my personal experience it is that good.

I haven't used it. Can you describe the experience with notifications?

What is Mobile ME?

 

[jhamilton3]

The notifications system is not set up yet because devs need to update their apps to do it.

However, landscape in everything is very nice. I have big hands so it's a lot easier to type.

Use SMS Touch. It sends text messages through your email and receives them through your email. The other party does not really know the difference. It is like having Unlimited SMS w/o paying for it. You do not even have to JB your iPhone to us it. It even has a Landscape Keyboard.

Free SMS and MMS

I would use SMS service provided by smsfree4all.com. There have Unlimited free SMS. No signup or credit required to send local and international for free.

There also have Free Picture Messaging service.

The best alternative is the family messaging plan I guess. I got it and pay an extra 15 on top of my 22 dollar data plan.

How do you have a $22 data plan?? How can I get one?
