I just discovered this while looking at the iPhone applications directory on iLounge. Seems like a great concept... SEND free text messages and RECEIVE replies via e-mail. Cuts out AT&Tingular... Which is great, as I'm over my 200 for the month already.

But am I paranoid to be leery of submitting my family & friends' phone numbers (not to mention my own e-mail address) to some random website?

I haven't used Text Drop yet. Would you?

No. I got the unlimited texting plan. I'd rather spend $20/month then give out numbers to a website I know nothing about, and also let them see every text. Also I'm sure that it would be know where near as easy as the SMS app on the iPhone.

Cool idea, but personally I just wouldn't ever use it.
