FlashSMS guide for the Apple iPhone 3GS & 4
                   1. Make a voice call to your FlashSMS local
                      access number (we suggest that you save
                      it as a ‘Contact’ for easy recall). This is a
                      free call as the phone will ‘hang up’ after
                      a single ring.

                   2. Turn on your speaker so that you can hear
                      the progress of the call.




                   3. FlashSMS will return a menu response
                      within a few seconds (the response time
                      will vary depending on your global
                      location). Select any of the options
                      shown in the menu or choose from your
                      list of previously used numbers.

                      Note: select ‘5’ if you wish to view a
                      continuation of your number list.

                   4. Tap the green REPLY button to respond,
                      enter a number option and tap the blue
                      Reply button that appears at the top
                      right of your screen.

5. Enter your response in text field (I have
   entered ‘2’ as I plan to chat with a number
   that appears on my list).

6. Tap the REPLY button that appears at the
   top right of your screen. This instructs the
   FlashSMS server that you wish to start a
   chat session with this number.

   Note: you can use your finger to scroll
   up and down the menu list and view an
   option that may be hidden.




7. The FlashSMS server will respond with
   an invitation to enter a message. Tap the
   green REPLY button to respond.

   appears on the screen. Each message can

   the blue REPLY button that appears at the
   top right of your screen.

10. When your friend replies, your iPhone
   will ‘beep’ and their message will appear
   on the screen. Tap the green REPLY button
   that appears at the bottom of your screen.




11.The reply screen will show the number
   of the sender and their message. Enter
   your reply and again tap the blue REPLY
   button at the top right of your screen.


Points to note:
a. FlashSMS differs from a standard SMS in
   that nothing is stored on your phone. The
   message will appear once then disappear
   when you answer.

b. Typically, you have about 45 seconds to
   reply to each message. Past this point the
   chat message will ‘time-out’ and end.
