Description

Important Information (PLEASE READ):
A fundamental source code change in Android OS is causing BigSMS tofail on certain Jelly Bean/Kit Kat ROM's. I am actively pursuing afix however because this is an OS change it is out of my hands. Iwill keep everyone updated as and when I know.
BigSMS is confirmed to work on:
1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x, 4.01-4.04

On Jelly Bean/KitKat it is also working on Nexus phones.

Update:
I am looking to rebuild BigSMS for Jelly Bean < phones only,which will include a new interface. This project will commenceshortly. Please contact me for more details.

Thanks for looking at BigSMS (Big SMS).

This tool was designed to address the message size problem on themajority of Android ROM's.

On most un-rooted Android smartphones, a text message exceedingthree times the standard length is converted into an MMS. Networkproviders/phone manufacturers often prevent users from accessingthe menu required to change this setting. As such, owners are leftwith the choice of rooting their new smartphone (voiding thewarranty), installing a bloated SMS client from the Android Market(offering very little extra functionality) or gritting their teethand bearing it (paying more in the process). This app solves thatproblem. You can send a text message of unlimited length using thesimple interface provided.

Current version: 0.6b

Features:
Unrestricted message size. Fixes "converting to multimediamessage..." problem.
Contact list integration. Select recipients from your storedAndroid contacts.
Multiple recipients. Send BigSMS to several people at once. (No MMSconversion)
Sent Messages stored in native Android SMS Sent Folder.
Delivery Reports, that are integrated with native Android SMSsystem (not enabled by default).
Lightweight, fast and simple to use. Not bulky like other bloatedSMS clients on Market.
Developed using standard Android API's making it compatible withalmost every GSM/CDMA enabled Android device available. (1.5, 1.6,2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x with future support for 4.x expected if problemstill exists).

The tool is still in development so you can expect plenty of extrafeatures soon.
This is my current TODO list:
Preferences to enhance user experience.
Background Service.

TODO:
Extra Languages
Notifications

I used a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 running 2.3 Gingerbread, and theAndroid emulator running 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.1 to test and debugthis software. Please comment on how it performs and looks on yourdevice.
To enhance QWERTY keypad support, this software was tested using aHTC ChaCha but should support the HTC Desire Z and other QWERTYdevices.
