Many different ways to send Jongla messages

In this post we'll dive into ways you can send Jongla messages and platforms we support. We get asked a lot about number of platforms we support so we decided to write a blog post about it. Jongla is true device and platform independent, Application-to-Person (A2P) mobile messaging service. That's a lot of words which basically means we support many platforms :) Jongla was designed from ground up to be a device- and platform-independent service. You can send Jongla messages via mobile devices, web browsers, Facebook and so on. Receiving messages happens via SMS which should work on any phone in the world. SMS carries a link that opens your mobile phone’s browser where you can see Jongla message sent to you. A lot of work went into making Jongla messages work on basically any mobile device in the world. Jongla service architecture allows us to take advantage of pretty much any platform and provide native integration. In this post we’ll dive into different ways of sending  Jongla messages.

iPhone / iPad

You can send Jongla messages from an iPhone or an iPad device. Using Jongla on your iOS device (iPad support coming) allows you to send Jongla messages to your friends and attach files already located on your device. Probably one of the coolest things you can do is to send Jongla messages to a group of people. We will also release an iPad version of our client soon. This will allow you to take full advantage of that beautiful screen and large keyboard. Using Jongla on your iOS device allows you to take advantage of your address book, so sending messages is a breeze. Download Jongla iPhone client

This is probably the easiest way to send Jongla messages if you prefer a real keyboard. You can register on our homepage and start sending messages in 5 minutes or less. Our web client was created to also function on mobile devices, so you can send Jongla messages on the go without installing anything. One unfortunate limitation (due to restriction by Apple) is that you can not add attachments to Jongla messages when using the web client. Another cool thing you can use web client for, is replying Jongla messages right there in your browser. We’re planning to expand this a lot more and maybe add support for conversations, threads and more. You can use web client to send Jongla messages containing attachments on your local computer. Yet another great use for Jongla messages is sending high resolution pictures and videos found on your desktop machine and sending it to a group of friends.

Media_httpwwwjonglaco_svefc
New member in our family is our Facebook client. There are a lot of Facebook addicts (we mean this in a positive sense), and social network seems to be growing and growing. We decided to add support for Facebook for 2 reasons: You probably have a lot of friends on Facebook; You’re already sharing content with your friends on Facebook. Now you can easily message your Facebook friends without ever leaving your favorite social network. One thing that makes our Facebook client special is the ability to send multimedia content you already posted on Facebook. You can read more about our Facebook client here.
