Allows composition of SMS to new contact (chosen from address book, or manually entered phone number) 9. Notifies user of incoming SMS messages 10. Standard settings options for sms apps · Ring tone setting · Vibrate option · Notification upon incoming messages on/off 11. Multiple contacts messaging 12. ****. Processes all sent and received SMS messages using my web service. If we work together, I will elaborate, in detail, about this function. **Requirements that may not be in the built in SMS app** 1.

Possible trial version with expiration date e. iPhone free version may be based on a number of free text messages allowed H2. Paid version without the advertisements **Notes:** ** ** ** ** We will provide the UI for the android and iPhone platforms. ** ** **Iphone:** I understand that there is no direct access to the sms function in the iphone sdk. I would like this app to act exactly like an sms function, but run through email. You can check out textfree, textplus and another texting app by GOGGII to experience the user side. I Don’t want the text to show up from an e-mail address like that of text free text. It should show a number, if not possible, then show a name. **BB:** Both the full touch screen and the standard half screen. **Android:** the app needs to be compatible with all Android OS devices and screen sized. Please include any ongoing maintenance costs. ** ** ** ** **Upgrades to be expected in the coming months** (Not to be included in this job quote) 1. MMS 2. Text to Speech / audio pronounciation 3. Turning app into social network for users to connect. a. Connect within the same platform, i.e. iphone to iphone b. Connect across platforms within my app, i.e. iphone to android 4.
