biteSMS has just been updated to version 5.2 which includes integration with TextFreek, a service that provides free SMS messaging between iOS, Android, and Blackberry users. This update to biteSMS also includes iOS 4.3 compatibility. The update also includes a few new features such as remembering contact settings for the bite network and carrier network. Jailbreakers should still keep in mind that even though iOS 4.3 compatibility has been added, there’s still no easy untethered iOS 4.3 jailbreak solution available yet. Click through for a full list of changes.

• TextFreek integration (text for FREE!!!) – See biteSMS, Settings, TextFreek.
• iOS 4.3 compatibility.
• New feature for the default send method to be ‘Remember per Contact’. Especially useful when you’d like to switch to using the biteSMS network for specific friends (say international or not included in your carriers unlimited plan).
• Added ringtone support for iOS 4.2.1 such that biteSMS now interacts correctly with the new iOS per contact ringtone feature.
• For biteSMS Ringtones (packaged or in directory structure) the volume is now reduced by 50% if headphones are plugged-in.
• With privacy set, the [Open] and [Call] buttons should display as active / inactive as expected.
• Fixed up bug when composing a new scheduled message it did not always show the scheduled clock icon.
