Purchase SMS

zuben el genub · February 8th, 2012, 12:37 PM

Doesn't anyone have a pay for SMS app? I've got Handsent right now and I don't appreciate the singles and dating ads. I want to BUY the app, and don't see any way to purchase. The same goes for Chomp SMS.

An ad did flash up on the phone screen for purchasing Handsent, but it isn't on the website or market. I don't feel like sitting through a bunch of singles ads just to find out how to purchase.

C'mon - if you WANT people to purchase, then give us the information on how-to.

I'll try it. Thanks. I really want the ability to block sms. I'm starting to get crap I don't want.
I'm not sure about the blocking apps, though. I've been reading.

Go SMS has blacklist function.

It has ads on password screen. I would like to back up some messages to sd card, and I really don't want to login to use it. Couldn't find out how to stop. Handsent worked without a login

Password screen on what? I have Go SMS and I can't see ads anywhere, even on the password screen for the private inbox.

The screen for password entry popped up every time I tried to answer an sms. I have Market and Gmail password protected by Applock. This has to be connected to one or the other. The password screen had "ads powered by Google" on the bottom. Maybe that is from Applock. However, I did not tell Applock to lock Go. Handsent was not locked. Original messenging probably is locked to avoid confusion with the services.

I tried all of them - Finally found that Chomp has a pay for on the app. I'm not crazy about the bubble format, but it's better than the ads and the lock.

Chomp did not require password. Nor did Applock add it to locked.

Its app lock, not Go SMS.

) Seal is similar to App Lock, but paid so no ads. And its free on Getjar.

Why did applock lock GoSMS when I didn't ask it to? I might try Seal. I really only want to lock apps that show email and I can't log out of. That's GMail and Market, mostly. Pocket Money does its own passwords.

A lot of apps are simply too heavy duty. I don't do social apps, got rid of FB, so I don't need protection for them.

Same with call blockers. I have to read almost everything I can find on an app.

"Cool app, it does flowers" makes no sense. 80% of posts (I'll read through 3 or 4 pages of reviews)
I've used Getjar for Symbian. Quite a few useful things.
