About M9

Messages on 9 keys. SMS for phones with a physical keypad and no touchscreen: conversations

newest-first, a thread you read top to bottom, and a reply row one key away.

Features:

* T9 filter over the conversation list by name, number or message text

* Reply from inside the thread, with a live SMS segment count

* Pick recipients from your contacts with T9 search

* Optional delivery reports

* Notifications for new messages

* Sends and receives as your default messaging app; read-only without that role

* No MMS yet: an incoming multimedia message is reported, not dropped silently

* An in-app manual covering every key

No internet permission, no ads, no analytics, no third-party libraries. Messages go only through

the phone's own SMS radio.
