Smass, SMS for masses

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:13:17 +0000

Smass application performs mass mailing by sms which could be called mass texting. In other words, Smass can send a customized message (SMS, text) to multiple recipients taken from your address book, writing it only once.

To do so, within the application, just insert a keyword from _name, _fname, _lname, which will be automatically replaced when sending the message by respectively the full name, first name, last name of selected contacts.

So you send a custom message to multiple contacts by writing it only once!
Ideal for "Happy New Year" greetings messages that you send to your friends, prospects, customers ...

Smass is localized in English and French.

example:
In Smass, I write the following message:
Hello _fname. I wish you a Happy New Year 2012:)

Then I press the Select contacts button and I select Tom Sawyer and Johnny Wilkinfon.
Then I return to application main screen and when I press the Send button, the application is responsible for sending two messages:
1/ Tom Sawyer: Hi Tom. I wish you a Happy New Year 2012:)
2/ Johnny Wilkinfon: Hi Johnny. I wish you a Happy New Year 2012:)

The application is available for all phones using Android 2.1 and later.
Each SMS sent is charged according to the contract you signed with your mobile operator.

Text my loc' app allows sending your location by text message (sms). Use it to meet your friends more easily.

How does it work?
User's location is continuously registered while application is opened.
Once "Share location" button is pressed, Messages application is opened with a pre-filled url which links to the map with a red pin showing your location.
You can then edit the message (beware to keep the url as it is!) and send it to whom you want to meet.

Recipients will then receive the text and a click on the link will open the map with your position within recipient's browser.
Recipients need an internet access to browse to url sent within the message.
They do not need to download this application.

For best efficiency:
- prefer being outside or close to a window,
- be sure GPS and/or wifi are activated,
- move away from tall solid masses like buildings to get a better GPS signal,
- ensure "Accuracy" is low (the lower, the better) before sending the message,
- ensure "Timestamp" equals to current time, particularly if you are moving,
- when you do not need application anymore, switch off wifi and GPS to save battery life.

You can verify estimated location by pressing "Show map" button.

Text my loc' app uses OpenStreetMap service to show maps.

Application is available for all phones running Android 2.1 and later releases.

Each SMS sent is charged according to the contract you signed with your mobile operator.
