Is Jailbreaking your iPhone legal?
Yes it is!
After a win by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), jailbreaking your iPhone is now explicitly a permitted fair use under the DMCA, so jailbreaking is now unambiguously legal!

biteSMS crashes when sending a message..
Do you have 'Alert Artist' installed? As this is a known app to cause this issue.
Where's the hidden contact feature in iOS5?
Sorry to say iOS 5 moved the goal-posts significantly, thus unfortunately this feature is no longer available and would require significant effort to rewrite it..(.
Is there a list of Features anywhere?
Yes, click here
This information can also be accessed inside biteSMS, Settings, About, Features Help
Does biteSMS work on iOS5?
Yes! Works on iPod as well (still working on iPad support).
Some users report an issue that they cannot see iMessages in biteSMS. This is resolved with a reboot after you have first started up biteSMS after installing.
iOS 5: I tap the status bar icon and nothing happens?
In the unlock mode (Home screen or inside an App) drag down the Notification Center as this is normal behavior. For Release 6.2 (currently out on Beta, see our Forum) tapping the icon shows the Notification Center or if only one message pending shows Quick Reply.
In the lock mode, if you tap the status bar icon, then any messages you had remaining in the Notification Center when you locked the phone will be added to the 'Missed Messages' list (if any) showing on the lock screen.
iOS5: What about Delivery Reports?
biteSMS works with iPhoneDelivery in iOS 5 seamlessly. All settings etc are managed inside the Apple Settings app, under Messages, Delivery Receipts (must have iPhoneDelivery app installed).
For 4S phones: There is an issue with the Jailbreak for the 4S and the iPhoneDelivery application. The iPhoneDelivery developer is aware of the issue and says he is not in a position to fix it until early February.
iOS 5: Volume buttons don't work in the Camera app to launch Quick Compose.
That's intentional as they are used natively to take a picture.
iOS 5: Forwarding an MMS crashes when you press send button, why?
It's an iOS 5 firmware bug, also effects the Apple Messages app as well.
iOS 5: Where's the ringtone per contact feature gone?
Ringtones are now implemented inside the iOS 5 contacts app.

This is a bug we're trying to fix. The workaround is a respring and the adds will be removed.

biteSMS Crashes when I click Icon
Looks like a file permission issue.
Install iFile from Cydia, then delete (right swipe) the following files and directories:
/var/mobile/Library/biteSMS
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.bitesms.plist
/var/mobile/Documents/biteadprefs.xml
My Quick Reply does not show up!
Check SBSettings, "SMS Alerts" toggle.
It must have somehow got set to OFF, thus simply turn it ON again.
Forgot passcode, how do I reset it?
Please do the following:
Install iFile from Cydia, then remove (right swipe) the following file:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.bitesms.plist
There's a Red (!) Showing on the biteSMS icon
This is a feature not a bug! It indicates a message failed to send.
To clear this exclamation mark either locate the failed message, then delete or resend it. Or or in biteSMS, Settings, About, press the [Clear Failed Indicator] button.
I purchased a license, but it still says 0 credits?
There are 2 types of users:
1) Those who purchase biteSMS credits to send cheaper SMS messages (depends upon their country and mobile plan).
2) Those who purchase the biteSMS License to use the application for all the features that the Apple SMS application does not have (but no credits).
I think you are the second type....yes?
You can use biteSMS app to send messages via your normal carrier. Just change your send button to Send via Carrier - so blue in biteSMS, Settings.
