Cui – On My Way

Two Talented gurus have created an individual SMS application for Chinese people who own an iPhone. Even if both can’t solve the chinese input problem completely, they DO help a lot to those chinese SMS heavy users like me. Much appreciated. Now let’s take a look.

One is from HK and the app names ChinSMS. The latest build is ChinSMS0.52.pxl, which supports multiple input methods by which both SC and TC characters can be entered.

The other is from mainland and called weSMS. The latest is WeSmsv0.2.1.fixed.7.2.pxl. Designed and developped by and for the mainland, WeSms can also write the sent sms into the iPhone’s private SMS DB.

Both are still in developping, so check their sites often for the most updated version.

For now I installed both. I like the way ChinSMS sorts contact which makes me easily add them into ‘To’ field and the ability WeSms can write the sent sms into the native Sms DB which i can check my chinese sms very easily

Update(Oct.11,2007): Please check ChinSMS and weSMS for update. Both are keeping on improving all along.

Update(Jan.7,2008): I recommend you to install the system level Chinese input method iCosta so that not only can you send Chinese SMS but also you can input Chinese anywhere in the iphone apps like Note and Safari etc.
