When doing this, remember that some mobile operators might limit the number of your recipients, and having too many recipients may cause failure in your recipients receiving your messages. In addition, always make sure your selected recipients have valid phone numbers. ------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ (English only) available here: https://pcdreamsapps.wixsite.com/easymessage/faq Good looking icons by: Glyphish, glyphish.com CrazEriC, http://crazeric.deviantart.com/ Lenka Meleakova, http://www.profimagazin.cz Visual Pharm, http://www.visualpharm.com Zen Nikki - http://zen-nikki.deviantart.com/

Verdict

The call

Fext's advantage is ratings volume (550 vs 79) and device support. On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
