Treasuremytext: the simple way to save your favorite SMS online.
Treasuremytext saves treasured SMS messages: users either forward messages to a standard rate mobile number (in UK, USA or Netherlands) although it works globally.
Users can also archive their SMS over the air via an application for iPhone.
Treasuremytext (version 2) is currently in invite only beta but set to launch early March 2008 (date to be confirmed). The service initially launched in 2003 and has been keeping treasured SMS safe since then. The new service is set to launch with far more features; from public SMS Streams to SMS by RSS with client applications for more handsets coming soon.
How it works:
Save your SMS
Save a text message and it appears instantly in your Inbox. It’ll never be lost or accidentally deleted when you change or upgrade phones and there’s no limit on storage so you’ll never run out of space. Treasuremytext is an SMS archive and backup service – meaning you never delete another SMS again. To save your SMS messages simply forward them to one of the standard rate numbers.
Organize SMS Online
Stay organized: users drag and drop messages to folders they’ve created. They can also add buddies / contacts and the system auto-detects contacts and assigns messages appropriately.
Share your SMS
Text Streams let users publish customizable SMS diaries which can also be output as RSS and added to other web systems.
Archive SMS from your iPhone
There is also an iPhone app available. iPhone users can’t currently forward SMS so this utility app lets you keep your messages by archiving them at Treasuremytext. It works over iPhone’s data connection.
Treasuremytext is free!
A Treasuremytext account is now free (although other business models have been attempted) and you can save as many SMS messages as you like. The only cost of using Treasuremytext is the cost to send messages to the system (standard operator charges apply).
Why Treasuremytext: the simple way to save your favorite SMS. It Might Be A Killer
Treasuremytext was perhaps the first SMS to web application (launched in 2003) and has grown a loyal fan base since then. It’s popular with a diverse audience who simply like texting and recognise that their personal mobile content is important. Whilst the web2.0 crowd may be used to the ‘SMS to web’ functionality and conversations that twitter enables, the Treasuremytext crowd is made up of the much larger audience of people who want to keep important messages but do not want to broadcast them.
