Keep an eye on your SMS allowance with Text Count Alert for BlackBerry smartphones

Posted by James Richardson on 14 Dec 2012 12:47 pm
Text Count Alert is a very simple application designed to keep a tally of your outgoing text messages to prevent incurring additional charges. However, it has plenty of customisation included. I can't speak for other countries, but here in the UK most folk have a certain SMS allowance whether on a contract or using pay-as-you-go. The problem is that once the allowance has been used up...

The service, dubbed AT&T Alerts, uses geolocation data to send customers nearby deals for participating retailers. If you're using a device on AT&T, when you are near a retailer such as Gap, Staples or Zales you'll receive a text alert with any special offers or discounts for those...

Help Me (FREE ) for Blackberry Smartphones – Emergency Siren Device with Auto SMS and GPS locator

Posted by James Richardson on 19 Oct 2012 10:58 am
Hitting App Word this week is 'Help Me' which in my opinion is possibly one of the coolest apps I have found for BlackBerry in a long time. It may not be one for us chaps but for the ladies this thing rocks. Although I have been using the free version of the app there is also a paid one costing $2.99. I have no idea what the difference is though - as far as I can see the descriptions...

Quick Tip: How to turn off auto text for SMS messages

Posted by Kerri Neill on 1 Sep 2011 9:18 am
I love the Word Substitution (aka Auto Text) feature on my BlackBerry. I've set up shortcuts for all three of my kids' names, CrackBerry and all sorts of other words. While using the Word Substitution to catch corrections of misspelled words and writing emails is great, some may not want that feature included when it comes to their SMS messages. Turning off this feature is simple no matter...

Text messaging using BlackBerry Messenger

Posted by Joseph Holder on 12 Aug 2011 11:55 am
  So you want to use BlackBerry Messenger to send text messages, do you? I don't blame you. BBM is an excellent place for keeping up with the people you message most frequently. Chat threads are saved and easily continued. Contacts can be split into different categories like "work" and "family" and "Wednesday Night Bowling League." And I find it much easier to start a text conversation by...
