I just tried FastSMS 3.1 with MyContacts not running. When you click the "contact" button it automatically started MyContacts as it should. FastSMS latest version also worked as intended. What I did: 1. on MyContacts selected the option to "shutdown" to make it was not running on the background 2. started FastSMS using the applications menu 3. clicked on the top left button on FastSMS to select a phone number Am I missing something?
