Release of Text SMS

As the pioneers of Bangla SMS, 3SM Systems proudly state that their project has generated a huge response both at the user as well as at the developer base introducing a new era in Bangla messaging. 3SM Systems welcome all the new developers who have remotely exerted their efforts in developing Bangla SMS softwares, although they represent only a subset of the features already implemented by the 3SM Systems team. With the introduction of GPRS by several of the mobile operators as well as more availability of Java supported mobile sets, 3SM Systems feel this time to be appropriate to release their previously developed software for Java-enabled mobile sets. This would enable the users to view the Bangla text at the time of typing as well as send Bangla SMS as text messages.
