Temporary Fix until FreeSMS 1.05.1 comes out for crashing

August 21, 2009

Hey all, if your looking to get your app to stop crashing until the update comes out, here is the trick.

1. Manually type in the phone number for the contact you want to text.
2. Click off the Phone Number field into the message field(DON’T click the Done button in the Phone Number field)
3. Send your text, this will fix the bug and from now on you can just choose the contact from your address book like normal.

Sorry, it slipped through the cracks of our QA staff.

Thanks,
Matt


Free SMS 1.05.1 Submitted to the App Store

August 21, 2009

This will fix the smart telecom issue with the wrong address(see below)(Thanks Sue!). It will also fix a bug where the app will sometimes crash when choosing a contact you had already texted with the app(Thanks Judy!). And it adds an easier to use keyboard for inputting the phone numbers.

Look for it 2 weeks from today(Sept 4?), that’s the average turn time for Apple right now.

Thanks,
Matt


Issue with Smart Telecom in v1.05

August 15, 2009

Hey all,

it appears that Smart Telecom has switched their gateway on us. There is an update already posted to the App Store, we are just waiting for Apple to approve it.

Here is a temporary work around in the mean time!

In your settings, make sure “use iphone/ipod email” is ON.

When the email window comes up, change the address from: mysmart.mymobile.ph to: mysmart.com.ph and voila! it works!

thanks to Sue for pointing this out and providing the fix!!!!!!

thanks,
matt
