Extended SMS serviced
MySMS is a cloud based SMS service that will sync to all of your devices.
They have apps for PC, MAC, iOS (both tablet and phone), Android (both
tablet and phone), Web, Facebook, and Chrome. Any device you have the app
on will automatically sync SMS text back to all other devices. One of the
nice features of this is that if you replace your phone, tablet, or
computer for any reason you just install the app on the new device and you
will instantly have all your texts back.
Is a service like MySMS but adds in some additional features like being able to schedule when to send a message.
Ebuddy is a subscription service. Not an all devices sort but it can
do more than SMS texting. With links to MSN and other messenger services
this can be a well rounded contact service for you.
txtDrop service is not a subscription service and does not allow for
maintaining address books but if you need something quick and simple
this is the place to go.
