Logging into the gmail web interface counts as logging into Google Talk.

You're best off having a separate account that you create and don't even ever launch gmail in. Just sign out of it right away after creating it, and use that account for Infinite SMS.

Ryan D Johnson replied on February 23, 2009 06:18 to the idea "sms outsite US" in innerfence:

The cell phone you want to exchange messages with has to have a US number. That's why the first line of our app description says you can send to the "50 US states".

However, you can use Infinite SMS on an iPod or iPhone over the internet from anywhere.

So you could use Infinite SMS in Mexico, for example, to exchange messages with someone in the US. Your messages would be free, and for the person in the US there are no international texting charges, just ordinary ones.

If you want to ask Google about support for other countries, you could do that in their forum:

If you want to do things entirely over the internet, you probably want an instant messaging application like AIM instead.

When you use our application, you're using the internet but the other person is getting regular text messages over their cell network.

Hi, Glenn.

You can try with another account, but if her number has blocked Google entirely, you'll need to ask for support in the Google forum:

Hi, David.

What happens is if the iPod isn't plugged in, the Wi-Fi turns off after a couple of minutes in sleep mode. I'm going to see if Apple gives me some way to disable that in a future version.

Also, this thread is a duplicate of this other one:

I don't quite understand what you're asking. I've never used pinger phone. Our app has the look and feel of the regular iPhone SMS app.

If your mother is in China and has Infinite SMS, she could use it over Wi-Fi connections (or her data connection, but international data roaming is expensive) to send messages back to your cell phone in the US. The cell phone would see normal US text messages, not international text messages, and could respond. The responses would come back to Infinite SMS for the person in China.

Does that answer your question?

Awesome!

Ryan D Johnson replied on February 22, 2009 02:03 to the question "International Texting?" in innerfence:

The cell phone you want to exchange messages with has to have a US number.

However, you can use Infinite SMS on an iPod or iPhone over the internet from anywhere.

So you could use Infinite SMS in Canada, for example, to exchange messages with someone in the US. Your messages would be free, and for the person in the US there are no international texting charges, just ordinary ones.

Ryan D Johnson replied on February 22, 2009 01:27 to the question "Some Suggestions to make it A+++ instead of A++" in innerfence:

That won't work, because the other person doesn't have a "google number". You always have to message someone first to establish a number for exchanging texts with that person. Read this:

Make sure the "Alert" switch is on in the settings screen in Infinite SMS.

Ryan D Johnson replied on February 21, 2009 22:40 to the problem "is this working in canada" in innerfence:

Hi, Umer.

The cell phone you want to exchange messages with has to have a US number, as it says in the first line of the description in iTunes.

However, you can use Infinite SMS on an iPod or iPhone over the internet from anywhere.

So you could use Infinite SMS in Canada, for example, to exchange messages with someone in the US. Your messages would be free, and for the person in the US there are no international texting charges, just ordinary ones.

Ryan D Johnson replied on February 21, 2009 20:34 to the question "Next Update... 1.3" in innerfence:

Working on it, but we're still dealing with a lot of email from customers. I'll need to take some time where I can just sit down and get it working. And then it will need to go through Apple's approval process, which can take a couple of days or even over a week. So it's hard to say for sure at this point.

Hi, Alex.

We're already working on the landscape keyboard, and we'll add the other things to the list of features we're considering for the future.

Thanks for the feedback.
