A: It's very simple. There are 3 simple ways:

i. @photo Method: Your friend can reply to your itim text with the word "@photo" and they will get an auto text that will ask them to reply with a pic or photo.
ii. Pic Exchange Method: You can send a pic to your friend and they can reply to the picture message with a photo too.
iii. Contacts Method: Your friend should save your @itim address (ex. johnjones@itim.me) address to their contact under your name. Once this is done, they can always send you pics or photos by choosing your contact and sending to it.

Note: Usually, after you have receive a pic or video from that friend, they should be able to simply reply to any of your texts with a pic and you will get it.

A: it's easy. From the allitim inbox, swipe your finger across the conversation and a delete button will appear. Click it. This is different from clearing a conversation which will only clear the conversation but will not remove the conversation from the allitim inbox.

A: There are 2 ways:

i. Your friend has the iTim App: You can text anyone who also has the itim app for free by sending a text to their @itim nickname.
ii. Your friend has a basic Mobile Phone: If your friend does not have the itim app, they MUST text you first (at least once) before you can text them. To do this, have your friend create a new contact in their cellphone under your name and save your @itim address (your nickname @itim.me ... like john@itim.me) in the contact. After saving, they should send a text from their phone to the new contact and you will get it on your itim app.

A: It's very simple. All you have to is reinitialize. To do this, have your friend create a new contact in their cellphone under your name and save your @itim address (your nickname @itim.me ... like john@itim.me) in the contact. After saving, they should send a text from their phone to the new contact and you will get it on your itim app. After you get their text, you will now be able to text them all you want for free.
Note: they must send the text from their cellphone as text/mms, not email.

NOTE: To prevent the use of itim for spamming, your friend must have sent a text to you first. After you receive their text on itim, then you can try texting them. If you text someone that has never sent a text to your @itim address, it WILL NOT be delivered. See FAQ #3 for information on international texting.

A: Yes, you can. iTim is the only text app that allows video messaging with any type of phone (not just iphones).

A: It's easy. There are two ways:
- If you have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPod 4th Generation:- Simply select the video from your photo gallery and send.
- If you have iPhone 3G, 2G or iPad:- Apple did not add a video recorder to these devices so you can only send video that you received from your friends. All videos you receive are auto-saved in your itim gallery. You can send them by selecting the video from your itim gallery. iPhone 2G, 3G and iPad video messaging is fully supported with itim 4.2.6 and higher
- All devices:- can send youtube videos by copying the youtube link and pasting it in the message. Then send.

A: No, because they do not record in the correct apple video format for mms. Only video recorded by the default iPhone recording app can be sent as mms.

A: it's easy. Go to http://itim.me/phone to learn how. The number is only available to USA residents only via google voice.

A: See FAQ #2. If FAQ #2 does not work out, then do this: Create a New Message, switch to IM mode and enter their international phone number or their itim nickname. IMPORTANT: In certain countries, your international friends must have itim app as well to receive your message (refer to FAQ #2 for more info). So if they don't, tell them to get it and you both can save on your text messages.
