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.
