See who's texting you from your PC or Tablet without having to look at your phone's messaging app. No middleman involved, no need to upload all your SMS to remote servers, no need to give a third party remote-control over your phone.SMS Text Messaging done easier, faster, & better! If you're looking for a better implementation of this concept (convenient web-interface to send/receive SMS) then look for "EasySMS" in the android market.ĮasySMS runs a webserver directly on your phone, which you connect to with your browser. Also, if their servers get compromised then the new owner will gain significant control over your phone at the least they will be able to send SMS in your name. Right, all your SMS conversations now run through their servers. When you write a SMS in their web-interface then your phone will later pick it up (by polling their servers) and send it out via your phone's GSM. When your phone receives a SMS it will upload it to their servers so it shows up in the web-interface. It's critical to realize that you are interacting with the MightyText webapp over the internet, it runs on their servers. It gives you a browser-interface from which you can send/receive SMS.
MightyText is a "SMS remote control" for your Android phone. There's no technical reason besides actually removing checks and making server names configurable why WhatsApp couldn't talk with iMessage or why GTalk can't talk with WhatsApp and so on. It's just about checking whether your client is a "legitimate" one. And this time it's not even about reverse-engineering protocols. It pains me endlessly that I must know whether I can contact person X via iMessage or WhatsApp or now this. This is one of the rare cases where a standard was created which everybody is actually following, but which didn't create any kind of interoperability between clients. Ironically, all of them are using XMPP under the hood but all of them go great lengths in adding crypto to make absolutely sure that they are not interoperable. In all this mess, Jabber was born, trying to standardize IM with the XMPP protocol and the Jabber implementation.Īnd now we are at a point where all these additional IM services pop up. Then we got clients that reverse-engineered the protocols and supported logging onto multiple networks, which was nice, but the cat-and-mouse game between IM vendors and the people reverse-engineering the protocol was annoying for all parts (i.e clients stopping to work and wasted effort on the IM vendor side). Tangentially related: I find it really ironic how the IM landscape has changed over the decades.Īt first we had proprietary protocols like ICQ, AIM and MSN.
