O2 Ireland updated their webtext site on Sunday March 7th. We have updated both Jelly SMS Desktop & Jelly SMS for iPhone and iPod Touch & Android already with the fixes.
The iPhone/iPod update is now live in the App Store. Please update to version 2.9.4 to get the latest fixes.
The free desktop version update can be downloaded from http://www.jellysms.com
Hey Folks!
After a number of rounds of private beta test by a number of kind volunteers, we are delighted to now make the latest beta build of Jelly SMS for Android available to all.
First of all, the disclaimer: this is still beta software, so bugs are to be expected! That said, after having been through a few rounds of testing already, we should have the most major bugs already addressed.
To make sure that we don’t have to support the beta into the future, we have put a time limit on the app. This particular build cannot be used after March 6, 2010. And don’t worry, before that date arrives, we will either provide a new beta or make a full release of the application.
So how do you start saving money sending SMS texts on your Android phone?
Then launch the Jelly SMS app, create a login profile for your account, and use that login profile to start sending texts… It’s as simple as that!
And here’s a tip: To create a shortcut to your login profile, press “menu” on the main page of the app (the profile selection page), select “Shortcut” and follow the instructions…
Happy texting!
Keith.
Update Feb 2 2010: Reports say that the latest iPhone 3.1.3 allows this to work again but ONLY on factory unlocked iPhones. Thanks to Éamonn for the heads up!
Note: Do this at your own risk!! I have only tested this on my own device (3G O2 Bill Pay iPhone) and cannot guarantee it will work with yours.
2. Restart the iPhone.
3. Once it restarts, go to Settings > General > Network and turn on tethering.
Done. Now connect your iPhone to the computer. The computer will automatically detect a network connection on the USB port. It just works.
On your Mac / PC turn off your Wi-Fi or unplug your Ethernet to check how it works.
Note: You will need at least iTunes 8.2 or greater installed on all the computers you want to tether with.
There you have it – Irish users get free text messages (O2, Vodafone, Meteor, Three + many others) on your iPhone and iPod Touch or on your Mac/PC with JSMS, and now you can use free internet tethering on the go.
Use Jelly SMS to send free SMS messages
Now you have tethering!
Today, a community of developers in Ireland, bonded by the tag #xcake, have stepped up and donated some of that App Store success in the direction of the Haiti earthquake victims. I have also chipped in €200.
Led by @padraig , the donations are still coming in fast from the likes of dermdaly, vinnycoyne, ConorWinders & fluter. Check out Padraig ’s blog to keep track of it or here to donate:

We’ve been hard at work getting Jelly SMS working on Google Android devices.
We will very soon be offering a private beta version for free to people who sign up to our mailing list here.
It will have many of the great features of our existing iPhone and Desktop versions, with a few new features to boot!
Check out some screenshots below.
