How to Replace SMS With SMS Crunch

1. Download the CrunchSMS application. To download from the BlackBerry App World, simply open the pre-installed BlackBerry App World icon on your phone. Click 'Menu' and then 'Search.' Type in CrunchSMS. Your search should return the download for CrunchSMS. It is a free application. Click 'Download.' To install directly from the Internet browser on the phone, you need to know which BlackBerry operating system you are running. Go to 'Options' and then 'About.' You will see your version number listed on the first page. It will look something like 'v4.6.092.' The numbers behind the 'v' represent your operating system. On your BlackBerry Internet browser, go to the CrunchSMS Web page. The link is in the Resources section. Click 'Install' at the top of the page, then choose your operating system. For example, if your BlackBerry is running on the version 4.5 operating system, choose 'Install for 4.5.'
2. Click 'Download' when prompted on the phone. Your phone will notify you when the download begins and when it is completed. Then click 'Open.'
3. You may now begin texting your friends within the CrunchSMS application. To avoid receiving two notifications when receiving text messages, go to 'Options' from the main screen of the phone. Then choose 'Security Options' and 'Firewall.' Click the 'SMS' box to block incoming SMS messages. When you do this, the original SMS messaging feature will turn off, and you will only receive notifications from CrunchSMS.
