I got a newsletter  from PocketBox website informing me on how  to activate my free app . I upgraded to the premium version and SMS now costs N1 --i mean One naira from my mobile phone to any  network in Nigeria. My Brother is still using the free version i gave to him and thats still N2 sha. The Premium version also has access  to facebook,skype , Gtalk and Ymessenger , though it takes a while for Skype and Gtalk to connect. U cld  Check it out @ http://pocketbox.nairangage.com/license.html     , Their Blog says there will soon be PocketBox IM chat among pocketbox users so i am  keeping my fingers crossed on when i can have non social network dependent access to a whole lot of the dudes , i cant reach on my BBM.

MeThinks  its best to always  view and see a mobile app on a website before downloading to your phone, just 2b certain u're good.

i mean sending it tru your mobile phone

If you want to send via your phone, then PocketBox will do. You could visit their website on http://pocketbox.nairangage.com. But its not free sha, i pay N2 per sms to any network in naija

Anyway, I have not had any issue with PocketBox services. sms delivery is almost instantaneous and @ N2 per sms to any network ,its very cheap compared to how much i use to send sms to glo from my airtel line. Contacting them for Support is fantastic and very prompt. I really cant have all these with a free sms provider, cos one cant even hold them for anything. Its not even polite sending sms to people and forcing adverts on them, I mean adverts that you dont even know the content of.

Thnx

i was able to purchase 100 units of this pocketbox sms for N200. Its just worth to mention here that it enables me send SMS from my mobile phone to any network with my preferred Sender name and @N2. I have still have 61 units and no issues yet. But i am still keeping my fingers crossed and watching it closely before i draw a conclusion. Any other users ? lets have ur views too.

Can i send sms to my mobile phone contacts ?

how do i change the sound when new mail automatically arrives, its kind off quite loud ?

I downloaded PocketBox from their website and transferred it to my Nokia E71. It actually worked and spooled all my emails and even alerted me of a new one that arrived, so much  for a free app.


For the no gprs costs u mentioned, i cant actually confirm because i subscribe to Mtn's N1000 monthly  so i am always convered for d whole month anyway. I just want to say thanks for sharing this , i can even see they offer mobile sms to any network @N2. Its worth having.


I just want you to confirm  ,since you have been using it for a while, if there are any  hidden charges with this mobile application ?
