Information

Everything in order

The four folders Inbox, Outbox, Sent and Templates give you a clear overview of your SMS messages, and you can also sort your messages using freely definable categories, e.g. in order to separate private and business messages. Depending on which folder they are in, saved messages can be read, answered, forwarded, edited, copied, deleted or used as templates.

Child's play

The graphical user interface with the Start Center makes the application extremely easy to use, while integration with the Palm address book helps you to choose the recipient and sender of incoming SMS messages. And to make using funSMS 5 even easier, it also supports the Palm 5-Way Navigator, the Sony JogDial, as well as the hard keys of up-to-date Palm OS PDA's and smartphones.

Unrestricted freedom

It goes without saying that you can also send messages to multiple recipients. Multi-line messages raise the restriction to 160 characters which usually applies to SMS messages. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses can be pasted from the Palm Address Book.

Always at hand

SMS messages can be written and then saved as a template together with the recipient list, which is particularly practical when you frequently need to send the same message.

Status awareness

A signature can be automatically added to every SMS message. Provided the function is supported by your network provider, a status report can be requested for transmitted SMS messages. If the recipient uses a modern mobile phone, you can select the option Flash SMS to have the message shown immediately on the display.

Never forget anything ever again

Important SMS messages can be exported to the Palm applications Memo Pad and To Do List. The SMS databases can be edited under Microsoft Windows and Mac OS using third-party applications (available as freeware or shareware). funSMS 5 is also integrated in the Wassup information centre.

Small, big, bigger!

funSMS 5 supports the "old" screen resolution with 160*160 pixel as well as the high resolution screens of the actual Palm OS PDAs with 320*320 pixel. If desired, funSMS 5 uses the 160*240 and/or 320*480 pixel for PDAs and smartphones with a fade-out Dynamic Input Area.

Individualist?

Do you want to customize funSMS 5? No problem. The Microsoft Windows application supplied with the program allows you to convert an image into funSMS 5 format and display it in the Start Center.

This is what enthusiastic funSMS users say

Wow! This is the first time I've experienced a bluetooth application that does not only look good but is truly plug & play.

The program has convinced me in every aspect. It runs without any problems.

funSMS is full of intelligent features. It’s all very akin to an email client, with templates, a draft folder, the ability to hold messages and the option to send a single message to multiple recipients. All in all, this really is the most fun you can have with SMS messaging.

Palmtop User magazine, march 2005, www.palmtop.co.uk

Absolutely superb program.

Have tried out almost every SMS program around. funSMS is by far the best of the lot.

The program is a real winner! As a former user of Handphone SMS (Palm Mobile Internet Kit), the range of functions offered by funSMS is something out of the land of milk and honey :)

I have tried almost all of the SMS programs and this is clearly the one with ALL the features I ever wanted.

Great tool and simple user interface!!

Works very fine. I especially like that funSMS now activates and de-activates Bluetooth automatically (user definable).

Excellent software which is fully supporting all major mobile phones. It contains great features to edit, send and receive mails using the IrDA connection to my mobile phone. Myself, I used this software with several Nokia and Siemens phones - everything worked fine. Last but not least - very friendly and helpful mail support!

So easy, for installation it is sufficient to state the mobile phone network, intelligent search function, send the same SMS to several persons, operation is childishly simple, graphic user surface, supplements the name automatically. Does what it claims to do above without any problems whatsoever. There should be more programs like this.

The perfect SMS program. In certain situations, SMS is vastly superior to e-mail. This is due, in particular, to the fact that recipients anywhere in the world receive SMS messages straight to their mobile phones. funSMS is the power package for Palms.

I upgraded to funSMS 5 and it worked immediately. Your support assistance was 1st class - just like your product.

It is THE software for sending and receiving SMS with your Palm. Well Done fun communications !!!

We editors at Palmtop-Pro Magazin are known as being traditionally really critical, unbending to the extreme, and ankle nippers into the bargain. With fun SMS, all of us in the team gave up without any resistance. funSMS has become our standard communication tool. In a nutshell: funSMS gives naked SMS messages the status they should have had long ago. Our entire editorial pool works with funSMS, and we can hardly imagine how life used to be before fun-SMS came along. In some situations, the program leaves eMails standing where urgent international communications needs are concerned. Using funSMS is absolutely foolproof, even in critical situations – the menu navigation is exemplary, stability is magnificent, the added value for the user is considerable. We recommend funSMS totally and without any reservations. The price / performance ratio is superb. Programs which appear in Palmtop-Pro Magazin are top of their class - those that don't are just a waste of shelf space. I can give my word on this to all Palmtop-Pro readers.
