Ping is designed to look like the SMS app, and behaves much the same way. The messages you send arrive at the recipient's screen instantly—similar to IMs—but also pop up with a Push Notification if you're not actively using the phone.

It's basically free SMS for you to everyone who has an iPhone or iPod Touch (over Wi-Fi) as long as you can convince them to sign up for Ping. Even if you can't, the ones you do switch over might be enough for you to downgrade your SMS plan one notch to save some money.

In the end, this may either be a really useful SMS alternative for iPhones, or a service that's not different enough from SMS or IM that people will use it. It's too early to say. [Ping on iTunes via Gear Live]

Update: If you have questions, you can contact support@pingmessaging.com
Look it up on the app store. My wife and I have it and no longer sms each other as Ping! is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Wi Fi at home and get 1GB download for free with my mobile plan. I can't lose.

Just found a better app. Totally different to Ping. I just use iMessage these days anyway. Check out an app in the apple store called CarBUZZ. :)

How about we change the title of this thread and make it the Official iPhone thread or the iPhone Apps thread where all things iPhone can be discussed?

After all, we have an Android thread so it's only fair ...

Just an idea
