Firmware 3.0 and iRealSMS 2.0.9.0

Firmware 3.0 was released by Apple and the DevTeam is working hard to get the Jailbreak released. We worked hard to have a compatible version of iRealSMS ready for you when the JB is finally out. You can find it on the beta repo from NOW (details at Community Forum). It makes all iRealSMS functions compatible with 3.0 and in addition handles MMS. The MMS part is still in development though and is mainly limited to image messages. PLEASE NOTE: It is a beta and it is mainly for 3.0 devices though it runs on 2.x too.

iRealSMS 2.0.8.3 Beta

iRealSMS 2.0.8.3 fixing the bugs of 2.0.8.2 is now available via the Beta Repo (see Forum) and will be updated until it's ready for release.

iRealSMS 2.0.8.2 Bugs

We tried to get the features of the latest iRealQuickSMS out to the iRealSMS users as fast as possible. Sadly I have to admit that some cruel bugs slipped in there because it involved some major code reorganisation. We have learned from that and all future releases will be available on our own Beta Repo first so that you can easily switch to a stable version while the bugs are located and fixed. I apologize for any inconveniences caused by this and am optimistic to have a solution now with the Beta Repo for this sort of problem.

iRealQuickSMS released

iRealQuickSMS is the Lite version of iRealSMS - it packages QuickReply and QuickSend and therefore is the slimmest QuickSMS solution available.

Currently you can purchase it only from within the app - all iRealSMS customers can activate it for free with their Paypal-email - iRealSMS always includes the iRealQuickSMS features though.

Version 1.3.3

To fix the problem with the non-existing version 1.3.2 the repository host had to add update 1.3.3 - it just installs the working 1.3.1 again. So if you had the problem with 1.3.2 (2.0.2) and INVALID serial just install this update and it should work again. Sorry for all inconveniences!

2008-12-08

Version 1.3.2 (2.0.2) and INVALID SERIAL

Just noticed that there is a HUGE problem with the repository: There is a version 1.3.2 (2.0.2) online named "iRealSMS Old" which does not exist - it is the package of an old iRealSMS 2.0 release... I am trying to get in contact with the repository host to get this fixed ASAP!
