Dell Voice Gets SMS, Updated Netflix UI, Tweetbot iPhone 5 Ready

Just a few notable app updates to tell you about. Dell Voice has been updated to be able to send out free text messages. The app already provides Canadians with a free number to receive incoming calls. It’s an awesome app that we’ve covered before, and the best part is the price.

Dell voice SMS is not free. Messaging between Dell voice subscribers is free. You have to sign up for a texting plan starting at $1.99 a month to SMS contacts outside the Dell voice network.

I agree with you that it should have been free. Maybe they will change their tune later. At the moment, the closest competitor is textPlus with voice. Free SMS but you need to earn free minutes to make a POTS call (by clicking on ads or buying offers). Having said that, Dell Voice is the “cheapest” alternative to having a voice/texting plan.

Now, if one can “hack” an iPad flex data plan to work on the iPhone, then the potential savings can offset the $1.99!!!

It’s actually possible to activate a data-only iPhone using an iPad sim. It works only with the Bell network however.

Can anyone tell me if the reception/sound quality of Dell Voice is better over LTE than 3G? Right now, over 3G, the quality can be pretty patchy at times, and is inconsistent enough that I wouldn’t give up my cellular voice plan just yet. I’m wondering if the quality might be better over LTE. Dell Voice is a pretty amazing app nonetheless.
