Since ASE came out, I really wanted to try out developing some apps with it. But as python ASE sucks compared to the Java API, in many ways, I had no option but to use Java API. Fortunately, this application is simple enough :p
Before using this application, please make sure that you have a free way2sms account. You need to enter these details in the text boxes provided on the main screen along with the mobile number of the receiving person and the SMS message.
Here are few things you may want to know
1) 140 character limit per SMS
2) Some sort of Internet connection is mandatory
3) Aren't the above enough ? :D
Download the latest version (1.0.5) from HERE

what is this all about? we have way2sms.com to send free sms all over india.....then what special do you have in your application.
Hi Pavan,
You can send SMS really fast as you don't need to load the webpage in a browser, login and all that. Also, in the next version, I'm going to add support for
1) Selecting multiple contacts from phonebook
2) Auto SMS - Useful for setting birthday SMS etc..
hey viswanadh, did you upload this in android market?
I tried installing on my nexus one andriod 2.2, it did not install and installation manager force closed.
Pavan, I don't know why it's not working on Nexus one..Could you download the previous version and check if that one works

I didn't upload to market as I didn't want to pay $25 if I'm not going to develop any apps after this one. I will definitely do that when I create more useful apps ;)
I tested this only on Samsung Spica phone.
Working great on Samsung Galaxy 3. A good UI and phonebook integration is a must. Hoping to see this in the next update. Many thanks for building this app.
Works great on my Galaxy 5 as well. Great work keep it up.
But really looking for improvements in the UI layout, easy selection of the contacts from address book. :-)
Thanks for the app. :-)

Vishwanadh I must say its a great work. Your app though simple works fine. And trust me its the only working app so far for way2sms on Android platform. With contact selection ability it has become really good. Thanks for your creation and hard work. Looking forward to further improvements. :)
@Nishant, Preetham and Anon, Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to know that it's working for you.
Hi
Works great with samsung galaxytab. But 2 issues:
1. when it picks contacts from address book, sms is not sent if +91 or 0 is prefixed to mobile no. Any work around for this?
2. Why dont you upload it on the android market!
good work
@Vivek, Thanks for letting me know about the bug. I've fixed this in v1.0.4.
Good effort. But the UI is no intuitive.
U can take some hints from Whozzat app on the market :)

3. Lack of Exit option.
