The beginning of the school season is here and it’s time for students to start hitting the books again and getting back into the swing of campus life. This year, a new application for iPhone and iPod touch called, textPlus, helps teens stay better connected with their important groups of friends and family by offering a convenient way to keep in touch: group conversation text messaging.
textPlus is easy for students to use and brings similar group messaging features to mobile devices previously found only on laptops and computers.
Once a text is sent to the members of a group, the message becomes a full group conversation. All responses are “reply all” and viewable in a chat room-like format so the entire group sees every message sent as if it were a face-to-face live conversation. Because textPlus works with any mobile phone that has regular texting capabilities, students don’t need to be textPlus users or download anything to join in their groups’ conversations.
To ensure important information and updates are never missed, textPlus also sends alert notifications so group members know when a new message has arrived. Messages sent via textPlus on the iPhone or iPod touch are unlimited & free for the owner of the app, with messaging costs sponsored by GOGII and advertisers.
The textPlus application is available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. Standard text message rates apply only when using optional notifications.
