IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ:

After many years of great enjoyment of Windows Mobile I jumped on the Android train and haven’t looked back. Because of this, Easy SMS is no longer developed or maintained. I’m told it’s not even working with Google Voice anymore. Easy SMS is open-source, and the source is still posted below if you are interested in having a look. If you are just looking for something that gets you free SMS on your Windows Mobile phone, try out Google Visual Voicemail at:

By the way, please don’t mirror the installation files, just link to http://www.mattslifebytes.com/?cat=7 to ensure that current versions always get distributed. Thanks!

New In Version 2.0

• Pretty much everything is new!
• Easy SMS is now a full suite application. You can both send and receive Google Voice SMS through it for FREE.
• All bugs with the old 1.x series have been fixed.

Features:

• It’s free. Who doesn’t like free stuff?
• Sends and automatically receives messages via the cellular data plan, meaning your outgoing SMS costs you nothing
• Interfaces with your phone’s contacts list
• Connects directly to Google via SSL to send your message, no man-in-the-middle servers that could potentially harvest your Google Account password
• Signature support
• Send to multiple recipients at once

Easy SMS is completely open-source!

Requirements:

• Windows Mobile based device; software has been tested on versions 6, 6.1, and 6.5, but the program may work with other versions.
• .NET Compact Framework 3.5
• A Google Voice account
• Cellular data plan or WiFi connectivity
• If your cellular data plan charges by the kilobyte, be sure to keep track of your usage; this program uses very little bandwidth, but don’t try to blame data charges on me
• You must abide by the Google Voice terms of service when using this program

Google has a bad habit of changing the way stuff works without letting people know. If you find that this program suddenly stops working, it could be because Google changed a setting and broke the way this program works. Check this site for info on known issues and patch releases.

I’ve tried to be very thorough in testing, but you never know. Find something odd? Tell me how to reproduce the error and I’ll try to take care of it. Toss me an e-mail

Oh no! Google changed how authentication works on their end, and this change has broken Easy SMS. I’ll be releasing version 2.0 on Friday, which will address these issues and update the software to be able to both send and receive messages.
