mysms is a cross-platform text messaging service for smartphones, tablet computers and computers.[1]

Functionality

mysms synchronizes the existing text messaging history from the smartphone to desktop computers and tablet computers.[2] In contrast to instant messaging services like WhatsApp, mysms focuses on SMS. Messages can be sent to any mobile phone number, independent of the device or operating system.[3] Similar to iMessage, people can also send and receive instant messages to other mysms users over the internet.[4]

Partnerships and integrations

mysms cooperates with other cloud-services like Evernote and implemented Dropbox and Google Drive integrations to allow users to archive their SMS and multimedia messages.[5][6][7] The app for Windows 8 is pre-installed on Hewlett-Packard (HP) laptops.[8] In addition, the service is offered as white-label product.[9] For this purpose, mysms partnered with the French mobile network operator Bouygues Telecom.[10]

Open API

mysms provides an open application programming interface (API) to other developers that allows them to build their own application based on mysms' core features.[11]

History

mysms is a brand of sms.at, which is a company of Up to Eleven and based in Graz, Austria.[12] Up to Eleven was founded by Martin and Jürgen Pansy. Toto Wolff and Rene Berger belong to its shareholders.[13] The global launch of mysms was in July 2012.[14] The apps are available for several operating systems, like Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS, and web browsers.[15] As of December 2014, the mysms app for Android phone exhibits 1.000.000–5.000.000 downloads on the Google Play Store.[16]

Achievements

In 2012 mysms achieved the second place of the Austrian Fast Forward Award.[17] The German magazine Computer Bild mentioned mysms as winner of their messenger test.[18] As of December 22, 2014 the mysms app for Android phone takes the 36th place in the United States in the category Communication in the Google Play Top App Charts.[19]
