Maildash 2.0 now sends SMS text messages using the iPhone 3.0Messages app!iPod Touch (and iPhone) Maildash users can still use Maildash to send free SMS text messages via email (see next page).
Sending an SMS Text message
Maildash sends SMS text messages via the iPhone 3.0 Messages app:
Choose your recipient and message.
Maildash personalizes your message with the recipient’s name
and your signature (an option in Maildash’s Settings).
Tap the “Send SMS” button.
Maildash copies your personalized message to the pasteboard,
opens the iPhone 3.0 Messages app,
and automatically addresses the message.
Tap the message box
until the “Paste” button appears.
Tap the “Paste” button
to insert your message.
Tap the “Send” button.
Any replies will appear in a notification alert and the Messages app.
You can also use Maildash to reply to a reply.
Why the pasteboard?
The iPhone Messages app currently does not permit apps like ours to pre-fill
the text message automatically. Maildash uses the pasteboard to workaround
this oversight.
