Data security is a high priority for mysms. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your personal information against loss, misuse and unlawful behavior. This includes appropriate encryption, secure storage of your information on mysms servers, and limited access to authorized employees only. More information on the use of data can be found in our Privacy Policy.
We know you love your texts - that’s why we integrated with Evernote.
And this is how it works:
1. Go to settings and click on Evernote
2. Connect your mysms Account with Evernote. Then enter your Evernote account data.
3. You will now find all new incoming and outgoing messages also in Evernote.
In case you’re using the mysms web app in Chrome, a pop-up for incoming messages will appear in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. If you do not receive these notifications, please check your settings in Chrome:
1) Click on the menu icon in Chrome (right hand corner on the top)
2) Choose "Settings"
3) Click on "Show Advanced settings" (on the bottom)
4) Click on "Content settings..." listed under Privacy
5) Scroll down to Notifications. Check, if notifications are enabled and click on "Manage exceptions"
6) If you find https://app.mysms.com:443, just click on X to remove it from this list.
Now open the Web App in Chrome again and the notifications for incoming messages will be displayed.
If you don’t want to receive notifications, just click on the spanner that appears on the top right-hand corner of the pop-up. There you can disable the notifications for mysms.
On the one hand we sell our desktop and tablet apps at a premium (detailed information about this strategy is available on our blog). On the other hand, we work with mobile carriers and handset manufacturers. In these partnerships mysms acts as a service provider.
With mysms you can send any kind of file you want – word documents, pdf-files, avi-files, etc.
If the recipient uses mysms Android, mysms iPhone or our web app, your pictures will be displayed directly in the message. If your recipient is not using mysms or using it on a Windows Phone, she/he will receive your files as a link. After clicking this link, she/he will be shown the full picture/file.
We handle messages with attachment like SMS messages (and not MMS). Therefore, a message with pictures or files costs you the same as a message without attachment.
1. Click on the 
Button next to the text field of your text message.
2. Choose your desired file format in the new window.
3. Next, pick the picture or file you want to send.
4. Insert your recipient and text and there you go!
You can send 4 pictures or files per text message, 10 MB maximum per attached picture/file.
Add a new contact or apply contact changes in your stock contact app and perform a manual sync in your mysms settings. After the sync has completely finished, your new contact or the changes will be displayed in mysms.
To start a group conversation with other mysms users, you need to create a new group first. Add up to 50 mysms friends to your group.
On the top bar you will find an icon which shows your mysms friends. Here you can create a group. Find an appropriate name and invite your friends. Now you can start a group chat.
If you use mysms on other devices in addition to your smartphone, you’ve got the same sending options available as on your mobile. Depending on your smartphone, supported sending options vary. Here you’ll find the sending possibilities that are provided for your smartphone: Android Phone, iPhone, Windows Phone.
To keep your data up to date in the mysms cloud, there is a complete sync every 24 hours. In case the notification “Messages 24h not synced” appears, mysms was not able to establish a connection to your smartphone. Reasons for that can be a disabled data connection, task killer or a proxy (using Wi-Fi mode). You could try to perform a manual sync in the mysms settings. After the sync was successful and has completely finished, the notification should disappear after refreshing the web app.
These are the most common reasons for an incomplete sync:
- Inactive or weak data connection or Wi-Fi on your smartphone.
Perform a manual sync in the mysms settings on your smartphone and re-login in the tablet/web app after the sync has completely finished. - For Android: GoSMSPro is installed on your Android smartphone.
Open “Menu” - “Settings” - “Advanced” - “Receipt Settings” and deactivate “Disable other message notifications”
In case you are experiencing issues with sending remote texts, we’ve got a criteria list that we would like you to check:
- Enabled background data (Android settings)
- No power saver app or energy saving mode (stable data connection even in sleep mode)
- Stable data connection on your phone. Try if there is a difference when using your mobile data connection or Wi-Fi. If you're experiencing the problems only in Wi-Fi mode you should try to install the app GCM Wifi Fix on your phone.
- Latest version of mysms
- Android version 2.2 or greater
- Connected Google (Gmail) Account on your mobile (to wake up your phone)
- Original Android operating system (OS) installed
- Task killer, power saver or virus scanners can interfere the functionality of mysms
- In some cases a complete uninstall and a new reinstall will solve the problems.
If you can confirm all these points, contact us via email.
