******************************
textPlus (aka text+)
textPlus is the fastest, easiest way to send UNLIMITED text messages from your iPod touch or iPhone for free. textPlus brings REAL GROUP CONVERSATIONS to texting.

THE ESSENTIALS:
✓ textPlus is free* for you to send and receive text messages
✓ Don't have an iPhone? No problem, use your iPod touch
✓ If your friend is on a carrier that we support, they will get your texts and can reply any time to you in textPlus
✓ REAL GROUP CONVERSATIONS -- we didn’t get the memo that texting was only supposed to work with 2 people – so textPlus doesn’t have that limitation. Send a textPlus message to several people and everyone sees/responds to every reply. You could say textPlus brings “reply-all” to texting
✓ All you need is a WIFI/3G/Edge connection, and you can send and receive as many texts as you want for free

*FREE -- How do we keep it free for you to use? GOGII pays carrier text messaging fees on your behalf. We can do this, in part, because textPlus is ad-supported.

OTHER GOOD STUFF TO KNOW
✓ International – traveling overeseas? Send messages FREE via textPlus to your friends back home or to friends who have moved abroad – as long as you text to a 10 digit US phone number on a supported carrier
✓ Push Notifications – free alerts when messages come into the app, even when the app is closed (3.0 OS required)
✓ Your friends who aren’t using textPlus pay for their texts like they do normally – according to their monthly text plan. Tell them to download textPlus -- then their texts are free, too!

FEATURE Option that may cost you:
✓ Message notifications via Regular Text Notifications -- when switched to ON, these notifications are subject to standard msg rates based on your text message plan. If you have an unlimited text plan, you will not incur any costs. Or select Push Notifications for free alerts (3.0 required).

textPlus is committed to bringing you free, sponsor-supported texting & real group conversations to the iPod touch and iPhone.

For recipients of textPlus messages, standard message rates will apply just like normal texting (unless also receiving messages inside textPlus, then it's free).
