The contest , where you can win keys to register QuickSMS, has been delayed. The reason is simple : lack of ideas for the contest! But Silverfurwerewolf mailed me today a crack for this amazing app. Well it’s not a crack, it will expand the demo trial of QuickSMS, at least until you will win a key to register it.
This is a hack I stumbled across in playing with my phone and I thought you might suggest it for everyone at FSMdotCOM, obviously this is to be used as a trail period extender, and anyone looking to keep the QuickSMS app should buy the application because it’s worth the price. Just thought I’d share because I’m a daily visitor of the site.
