What free non-default SMS app do you usually use and why?
I just ran a few tests on SMS for a couple of threads, so while the thought
is fresh in my mind, I note that I had tested at least a dozen SMS apps in
the past and found only two to be to my liking...but I'm testing two more
as we speak... (where Textra seems better than Chomp is on first use).
1. Pulse SMS (which nicely schedules messages, for example)
2. QK SMS (automatically compresses outgoing MMS photos)
3. (I'm testing) Textra (forwards entire conversations en masse)
4. (I'm testing) Chomp (automatically saves MMS photos to gallery)
NOTE: That's just _one_ reason above, as, for example, Textra also
automatically saves MMS photos to the gallery.
o Pulse SMS (I don't see any ads)

o Chomp SMS (I don't like the ads)

Note that I switch between SMS apps all the time and don't see any problem
in doing so (only one can be the default at any one time, but each makes it
trivially easy to set it as the default).
