- I came across Crunch SMS in the BB world, but I dont see a way of getting this to be my default SMS app, when I receive an SMS it shows up in my stock one... can any one help? IS there a way to change defaults? Is there another better SMS app out there? I hate the iPhone look of Crunch SMS.08-26-11 10:19 AMLike 0

Instructions as below from Crunch site, depends on which OS you're running on:
I only want to see messages in crunchSMS, how do I configure that?
For OS 6, you need to ensure only crunchSMS receives them by doing this: Desktop > Options > Security > Firewall, and tick the "Enable" and "Text Messages" boxes.
Important for MMS, ensure in the Messages app > BB Key > Options > Text Messaging, under the MMS heading set Multimedia Reception to Never and Automatic Retrieval (if possible not all phones allow this to be changed) to Never.
For OS 4 and 5, you need to ensure only crunchSMS receives them by doing this: Desktop > Options > Security Options > Firewall, and tick the "SMS" and "MMS" boxes.
Note: you do have to enable the firewall.
Important for MMS, ensure in Desktop > Options > MMS you set Multimedia Reception to Never and Automatic Retrieval (if possible not all phones allow this to be changed) to Never.Jesse813#CB likes this.08-26-11 10:33 AMLike 1 -

This is why when I got my 9930, I wasn't receiving texts. If you do this, remember you did it and have to undo when you are done with crunch SMS. When I had crunch SMS on my tour I was hardly impressed with it.08-26-11 12:20 PMLike 0 - I have been using Crunch SMS for 2 years and I love it.
Just make sure to enable the firewall on your phone, and disable receiving Text Messages. That way, you won't get the message twice anymore (once on the default SMS app and once on CrunchSMS
