I’ve tried all these different services, including 3jam. I found most of them too complicated to use and not enough features.

I use Peekamo.com, their solution is easy and keeps my phone number private. The archiving is a bonus, since I don’t like to keep all my messages on my phone.

Check it out, http://peekamo.com

[...] See our post on 3Jam, where there are plenty of other services mentioned, including Radio Handi. Various forms of group texting have existed on carriers in other countries. Yahoo came up as an example of a service with “public” groups. This latest service gives you a way to create private groups to text with. (Techcrunch did a post on this earlier) [...]

A few years ago, here in Peru we used to have a service called Blah! a kind of mobile chat that used with nicknames instead of phone numbers, and allowed to send group messages too, but only to registered users and to certain mobile carriers. It worked mostly in Latin America, some US carriers joined later. The service is long gone now, so 3jam is an interesting new alternative.

I’ve been using 3jam for a couple of days with my friends and it seems much better than what we’ve used before. It is cheaper, easier and the most important thing: it allows us to send inter-carrier group messages paying for a single one. (Group messages using the Group feature available in mobile phones are priced as multiple texts here).

Washington Post goes mobile
Two weeks after saying it would look for new, digital outlets for its products, The Washington Post Co. has launched mobile phone versions of three of its publications.

The Post says the new content sites, which provide access to the newspaper’s online edition as well as Slate and Newsweek magazine, are designed for viewing on mobile phones and PDAs. Access will be free and not require any registration.

Earlier this month, the Post moved Newsweek editor Mark Whittaker to the new position of editor-in-chief of New Ventures at its Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive division.

Whittaker, who’d been Newsweek editor since 1998, is now responsible developing wireless and multimedia ventures, as the Post (NYSE: WPO) looks for ways to offset its declining circulation and stagnating print advertising.

The Post’s digital sales have been rising steadily, with online publishing revenue up 36 percent last quarter.

The new sites are at http://www.twp.com, mobile.slate.com and mobile.newsweek.com. Content will also include access to archives for both the Post and Newsweek.

I have a Treo and I can select multiple recipients for a text message with the standard SMS app on my phone. But I know that replies sent back by my friends don’t go to everyone in the original message – just me.

CG, what does the reply-all function on your RAZR do? Can’t seem to find anything like that on my Treo.

This seems like such a useful app that I’m surprised nobody has come up with this before! Going to check out if Mozes and Msgme do reply to all as well.

Matt, you may also want to check out Mozes and Msgme (fm Waterfall Mobile) for others playing in the SMS space w/related or similar applications.

I suspect any decent phone has this feature as part of the SMS application where you can select multiple addressees. Smartphones (e.g., Nokia) even allow the creation of groups in the address book.

Ofcourse, one could argue that this is the SMS equivalent of a mailing list, but given the “short” nature of SMS messages do we really need a SMS mailing list? Moreover, these “SMS” mailing lists expire at the end of a day unlike an email mailing list.

An interesting experiment – as long as some VC is bankrolling it.

i’ve pretty much had this capability (more or less) on my Cingular RAZR phone for about 13 months. It gives me the ability to send to multiple people in my address book, and also has a “reply all” function. However if you get one of these messages you often don’t know that there are multiple recipients, making the reply-all feature worthless.

[...] 3Jam is a new one-to-many SMS service that will be launching at the DEMO conference. In essence, the service clones the email forwarding principle. Users set a contact list, send one message to a dedicated short-code number to make the service copy-paste the text message to their community. [...]
