JSMS 4.2.0 and Java

JSMS 4.2 is coming! You, the user, also need to prepare for this release:

Java 6

All users will need the latest version of Java (Java 6) to enable the upcoming new version to run.

Windows & Linux users

  1. Click here to check if you already have it.
  2. Follow the instructions on that site to install the latest version if prompted.

Mac OS X (Intel) users

Mac users no longer need to do anything except download the latest JSMS release from http://jsmsirl.sourceforge.net/ and install as usual.

Note: Apple has only released Java SE 6.0 for 64 bit Intel Macs running Leopard.  So if you have a Core Duo Mac or earlier (inlcuding PowerPC), or OS X Tiger you are stuck with Java SE 5.0 and earlier and should not upgrade to the latest version of JSMS. You should only use JSMS version 4.1.2 which you can download from here. (Note: You should disable automatic updates in JSMS preferences after installing the older version. If it says an update has been downloaded, go to the JSMS install folder and delete the file ‘updateArchive.zip’ to prevent the update getting installed.)

So why do you need to do this? It’s simple: we have ANOTHER update already beta tested and ready for general release. This new update is jam-packed with improvements and new features. But it will NOT RUN unless you are using the correct version of Java. This is not an idle warning! If you are not using the correct version of Java, the upcoming release will simply crash without any warning why! Thus, we’re now giving you an opportunity to prepare your system for the upcoming release.


iPhone and iPod Touch users

Did you know, you can now use JSMS on your iPhone or iPod? Now you can save cash while on the go!

Jelly SMS is available now in the iTunes App Store.

      Hi Tiffany,

      Jelly SMS requires an internet connection in order to send SMS text messages. It will work over Wifi, 3G or EDGE data connections.

      Although it does not seem like Maxis provide users with free sms, you can still register with any one of our supported providers such as Freecall.com to use Jelly SMS to send low cost international SMS messages.

      Thanks
