This is not like iMessage at all, it just syncs your SMS messages to your computer. It doesn't actually enable your computer to send or receive SMS messages. So if I am roaming or have my phone turned off, I don't get messages.

looks pretty close to DeskSMS. they seem similar.

the problem with the "phone off" thing is -- then you don't get texts to your # at all.

I hope carriers will work with MightyText to do direct integration.
