An alternative for sending and receiving SMS
Android phones come with the stock app for sending and receiving SMS messages. It is perhaps by now a bit dated and seems to be gradually falling out of favor. Nevertheless, there are still millions of people using the Android messaging system to keep in touch with friends and family. But if you feel that the stock Android SMS app doesn’t quite do it for you anymore, and would like to try something different, chomp SMS is an excellent alternative.
