As big iPhone fans and users we’ve been having a major problem these last couple of weeks. Apple with the iPhone forgot, didn’t get round to, or in zen like quest for simplicity decided to provide only the most basic SMS functionality to facilitate its iChat like SMS interface.
If you didn’t know already this is a bit of a problem for Treasuremytext as it uses SMS forwarding as the means by which messages are saved. It’s a simple mechanism which won’t flummox mobile users and only requires the most basic functionality for a phone to be compatible. This meant probably every phone ever made worked with our service before that is the arrival of the most advanced phone on the planet.
Today though we we’re excited to discover that the latest version of SMSD for the iPhone now includes forwarding. We stumbled across the latest version of it available here or more easily via Installer.app. This will require a Jailbroken iPhone which if you haven’t done so yet you need to do so, they’re are useful guides how to over at www.modmyifone.com.
Originally when we came across this utility it only provided functionality to delete messages but the latest update provides forwarding functionality and it’s pretty nicely done too. In terms of future iPhone support we have plans which will totally remove the need for forwarding altogether and we’re eagerly waiting to get a look at the iPhone SDK but stay tuned for that.
In the meantime if you’ve got an iPhone you can now use Treasuremytext again and set free your SMS from their ‘child like’ iPhone iChat bubble prisons. Need an invite? just drop by beta.treasuremytext.com and leave us your email.
hi ,

Go here and follow the instructions to install Installer.app http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/ after this go to Utilities in the Installer and look for SMSD. Be careful to follow the instructions for your exact firmware and version of your iphone
SMSD cannot be used with the new version of 1.1.3? Do you have an updated version of SMSD?
I used smsd for one week. The tool is great. Just since yesterday I face the problem that I can send only one SMS when I want the send a second SMS the smsd resets and I end on main screen. After this I have to reboot the iPhone. Is there some kind of bug fix for this problem?
I am using iphone firmware 1.1.4. I have installed SMSD but when I click on the SMSD screen, it returns to springboard without opening the programme. I think it is not compatible with 1.1.4 : where can I get compatible version or are you in the process of updating it.
Don’t know I’m afraid, we love SMSD, but we don’t make it! To delete messages and archive them, you can use the Treasuremytext for iPhone app though!

How can I get to activate the SMSD on my iphone? Once, I click on it, it returns to the springboard again.
