    Jelly SMS for iPhone hasn't been updated since summer 2014 and I use it for texts for emergency which means I save €10 a month on my plan, opting for web and calls only. The app was always buggy. But lately it's become a mess. Anyone know of a better third party app equivalent where I can send Meteor or other Irish network SMS messages with resorting to the labourious web browser.

    SwiftSMS which I just found, thanks to your suggestion, seems to be a Messages template app to save rewriting messages which you send often. What I'm after is an app that lets you login to your carrier (Meteor/Vodafone) and send web texts through a convenient app interface. Basically, JellySMS, but coded better and reliable.

    When you set up swiftsms, you have to login to your webtext account and from there it can send webtexts. Can use multiple providers.

    Turns out I downloaded "SwiftMessage". What tricked me was when I search Apple App Store for "SwiftSMS" that other app was the only result that appeared and the developer had an Irish name. Seems like your app there is Android-only.

    I think there's no other app in the category I'm looking for, but I'll try there. Thank you for your help.
