VoIP.ms SMS vs SimpleTexting Usage & Stats

OVERVIEW VoIP.ms SMS is an Android messaging app for VoIP.ms that seeks to replicate the aesthetic of Google's official SMS app. FEATURES • Material design • Push notifications (if using the Google Play version of the app) • Synchronization with device contacts • Message search • Comprehensive support for synchronization with VoIP.ms • Completely free RATIONALE A number of people use VoIP.ms as a cheaper alternative to subscribing to a voice plan for their mobile devices. Unfortunately, this can make sending text messages rather difficult, as the VoIP.ms SMS Message Center is clearly built as a diagnostic tool for use in desktop browsers, not as an easy way to send and receive messages on a mobile device. VoIP.ms does provide a mobile version of this interface with an improved UI, but it still lacks important features that are only possible with a dedicated app. INSTALLATION The Google Play version of the app uses closed-source Firebase libraries to support push notifications and facilitate crash reporting and analytics, among other purposes. The F-Droid version of the application is completely open source. The Google Play version of the app can be downloaded from the Releases section of the GitHub repository at https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/releases. DOCUMENTATION The app's documentation is available in the HELP.md file at https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/blob/master/HELP.md.
