ok i had to reinstall my icon and now i cant use my text name cause its already taken how do i restore that?

Derek, I never have this problem buy how do we restore it so we can still user the same email address in textnow.me?
 
how does this app work? i got my iphone last week and it'd be awesome to not have to pay $20 per month for texting! and what happens if someone texts my actual number? ill then get charged...

Hey derek, a couple of suggestions.

1. The send button needs to be moved elsewhere. I thought I would get used to it being there but I must have sent 30+ incomplete texts already.

2. There is a guy on the Enflick blog who posted on the latest entry saying there is a way to send to multiple recipients. Is that true? I tried to but it doesn't work. Hitting the plus button next to the name during a new composition only replaces the contact, not add another one...which doesn't make sense...

Other then that, I am extremely happy with the app. Great job.

I also love the new update and everything is faster. The new interface is better except for the send button which i seem to hit a lot on accident.

Also one more thing I noticed, probably a bug. When I send link, only the first line in the text bubble is clickable (parsed), making the URL parsing pretty useless.
 
How do we send a text to multiple contacts at the same time? I choose my contact, then I click on the " + " and pick someone else but it removes the original contact. Do we not have this feature?

There is no automated way to do so at the moment. If you want to switch devices and retain the same username, contact us and we will get that setup for you.

Thanks.

Thank you I will keep in mind. BTW nice app.
 
Whats going on, I cannot connect to the server.

We are currently working on fixing the issue, one of our servers ran into a problem. We apologize for the interruption in service and we will let you know once it's fixed.
 
The server issue has been fixed. Once again, we apologize for the interruption.
 
How do I import my facebook friends and photos? I am doing what it says in the app, but then what? Also when I text someone it doesnt show the address I have created, it adds a number to is, example for me its showing "samer@m1.textnow.me"
 
I love this app. Thanks for putting out a great product, and being so responsive to your customers.

Requests:

1. MMS (yeah, we all want it).

2. The ability to clear a conversation without deleting the thread.

3. A few different sorting options. What would be nice would be to have threads with unread messages at the top, and have the rest fall in alphabetical order (choice of first or last). I'd only want this as an *option* though, as I think many people prefer the current most-active at the top view.

4. Of course, faster start-up times would be great.
 
I would love to also see an option to turn off contact pictures so if we dont have contact pics we dont have this default blank pic next to each text. It would be more like the iPhone sms app.
 
Anyone else noticing that the person getting your text shows a different address everytime? My gf says its coming from samer@m9.textnow.me and
m9 changes, sometimes m1 and so on. Why is there m# in my address?

Yes - this is one thing that really annoys me about the program. When you're texting back and forth with someone that uses this app, it prevents you from having a threaded conversation since each message that comes in looks like it's coming from a different sender.
 
Hey Derek, how about a few promo codes for us macrumor peoples???

Either way, happy holidays and great work on the app mate!
:)

Set it up with google voice. Then the sender sees your google voice number instead of the textnow.me.
 
Is there a way to change our texting address? Instead of using @textnow.me why can't we put our phone numbers and have texts go to that with texnow?
 
Dear TextNow users,
starting with version 3.3.1 of TextNow you can send texts from the ABContacts contacts manager app (see [app]ABContacts[/app] for iTunes description or web page for screenshots, videos and user's guide).

ABContacts is a full featured contacts manager for the iPhone and iPod touch with group management, smart groups, favorites, fast dialer, and many other features. It can use other compatible apps to send texts. TextNow is supported for single recipients at the moment but will be supported for group texting soon.

I'd like to offer some promo codes to TextNow users but iTunes connect is closed at the moment for the holidays :( . I'll offer a few codes when iTunes connect will reopen after xmas.

Maybe there're some ABContacts users reading this thread that may try the new feature. If you've ABContacts, just go to the settings tapping the title bar, choose configure applications, refresh the list and check off TextNow.
All texts you send from ABContacts will go through TextNow.

Any comment or issues report are appreciated.
