Save your SMS online with Treasuremytext

What fun it will be if you can save your important mobile phone SMS online, so that you can have a look at this some time later in the future. It’s possible with Treasuremytext, whose new version is coming up now. This is a new site that allows you to forward any SMS to a UK number and that appears as a text stream on your Treasuremytext profile page. The page is a la web 2.0 style package complete with AJAX and RSS feed. You can set this text stream to private and there you go, an online storage for your SMS.

At the first glance, this service looks very exciting. I checked out the service with a hope that perhaps it will automatically save all SMS I send receive on my mobile phone. But the fact that i have manually forward every SMS is sort of a disappointment. It dawned to me that perhaps I could do the same with micro blogging sites like Twitter, Jaiku, or Pownce.

Another disappointment is that with the free account, you can save only 5 messages in a day. If you need to save more, you need to cough up EUR18 per year. In this age of free services and when companies are giving away gigabytes of storage space free of cost, this comes as a surprise.

One plus point that Treasuremytext has over Twitter and others could be that it can also save your contacts and you can also send SMS from your account page. Well the service has a loyal fan following across the globe and so there must be something worthwhile. Let’s hope the new version is coming up with some great features that we can truly make good use of.
