ok so just to make sure..the numbers i txt while im in the app will not show up on my bill


Yes, as long as you are using Textnow.

Make sure if you are integrating google voice that the google voice do not forward text to your cell phone. (NOTE only if you are using google voice with textnow)
 
Is anyone using TextNow on the iPhone and the iPad? How does this work? Do you just get the same message in both places?

Thanks.

You can twitter Derek or the textnow support to ask this question.

Also when you install the textnow in the iPad, you need to enter you email address. You will have an error that it already exist. The best route is ask textnow support.
 
For this reason I basically stopped using textnow. It's a nice app, but it doesn't really allow for multiple devices to use it with ease. I really only used Textnow with Google Voice anyway. So it wasn't a huge leap to switch to GVMax and now I can use Trillian, Beejive, IM+, whatever I want without having to worry so much about the client end of things.

I hope Enflick can fix this major shortcoming so those that do still use the app or are planning to use the app can avoid this fairly major hurdle.
 
Not sure how good this TextNow thing is gonna work. Too many people replying to my phone number. :)
 
just got a twitter update from text now in 4.0 TextNow4.0 is in its final development stages! FREE update to all current TextNow Users. Includes: Picture Messaging, New UI, Bug fixes, and faster loads!

Any screen shots?
 
Looking forward to the update. Hope it comes out very soon.

But I have a question for Derek. How will picture messaging work for GV? GV currently doesn't support MMS. Will MMS just go through regularly with the random number?

Praying for group text.
 
Quoting Derek from twitter: 1 to 2 months waiting time. :). It may be timing with OS 4.0
 
By the way Enflick described it...I assumed it would come out in a couple of weeks.

Update has been released.

I am NOT a fan of the new icon. Derek, can you please send me the icon.png of the last version? I will have to SSH to replace the icon.

Why fix something that wasn't broken?
 
Awsome Update i dont get why people make a big deal about icons hell aslong as the programs arent crap why make a big deal everyone's gotta complain i guess.:rolleyes:
 
The new icon looks much better than the last! I still don't know why people pay AT&T $15-$20 month for texting.

I've had this app since day one of it's release and have never looked back, it's only gotten 10x better! Enflick also has excellent customer support.

I've never had a problem with my friends adding my @textnow.me address like others in the reviews have stated. Whats the big deal? lol
I like it better than putting another # in there phones like the textfree app.

Derek your team is amazing. Hoping for a universal build for the iPad! (crosses fingers)
