    I think the source code is on the website but I don't know how you upload amendments to the server. Presumably you'd need Sam's password. Best of luck. If you figure it out would you like to have a go at fixing the O2 script - which stopped working when Three took them over?

    It also doesn't work when sending to a international number on Vodafone. Works fine for Irish numbers though.

    Anyone else having hassle with Swift SMS on O2 on Three? Was working fine for me until yesterday, similar to mikeb above with the question mark.

    Try settings/ 'connection method' then select 2.

    If you mean cabbagetexter.com / "Source code" then the php scripts there are ancient (from 2012), not the latest version at all.

    Will Cabbage, Swift or some other app allow me to send webtexts from one phone number but make it look like it's coming from another number? Don't worry, I'm not up to anything fishy!
    I have Postfone for work because I don't need anything fancy and it's fine ... except it doesn't have any webtext option.
    I have emobile (Eircom) for personal use and was wondering if I could use that webtext allowance to send texts to my customers but make it look as if it's coming from the postfone number so that replies would go to the postfone (which I leave at work, so that I'm not getting calls at all hours).

    If Postfone don't have Webtext, then you won't be able to send them from anywhere else. You could pay for a commercial text service or Skype - but then they wouldn't be free. Why not change your workphone to eMobile or Meteor? There are plenty of plans equal or less than the €20 deals available from Postfone.

    Postfone lets me top up by as little as I like (literally from 1 cent upwards) so it generally only costs me €5-€10 per month. Plus no contract. Haven't seen any other plans like that.

    Ig I have this correct I think you can put a Vodafone SIM into a PostMobile phone and it should work ..... so in that respect would you not be able to use Vodafone webtext?

    But then I'd have to buy a Vodafone SIM, and a quick look on their website shows these at €20 per month. Not being miserly (well, maybe a bit) but I'm already paying for a landline and broadband at work, and a mobile for personal use, so that's why I wanted something cheap cost-effective for a work mobile, ideally just to receive texts from customers, with me sending webtexts. Obviously I'm also looking at Viber and FB messaging, but texts are still preferable for most people.

    Meteor dont require any credit to receive calls or texts. You only neef to top up by about €5 about once per year to avoid losing your account and free webtext. If you use a cheap Android phone you could leave it permanently in a WiFi area and use a text forwarding app to route all incoming texts to your email. Use Meteor Webtext or app for outgoing texts from any other PC, tablet or phone.

    Well what I swas getting at really but I didnt explain it very well is, dont buy a new vodafone sim, using your existing an post mobile sim go to the vodafone website and put in your phone number of your postfone sim mobile number and see if you can register for webtext that way? - might be worth a try?

    With Meteor, five months after your last top-up, you can no longer call/text/use data and six months after your last top-up you can no longer receive calls or texts either.

    Three is better in this regard - all you need is to make one chargeable use every six months to keep a PAYG SIM active. No need to top-up as long as you're still in credit.

    The policy you refer to was implemented on old O2 prepay. If you still have a Three account running on the old O2 network you can probably still avail of these terms. However, all new SIMs are issued on Three's own network - to the best of my knowledge they do not operate this policy. However, I haven't tried it myself - if you can cite a reference to this in their T&Cs, I will stand to be corrected. Furthermore, you would want to be crazy to depend on the Three network for a business service in Three's current state of meltdown since the merger. Three reps on the talk-to-three forum admit that it is going to take at least 2 years to build out the Three network at the old O2 base-station sites. In the meantime, their service is going to remain flaky. Many users are also reporting a lot of problems with Webtext on Talk-to-Three.

    If you have a Three PAYG SIM and you log in to My3, at the bottom of the 'My account balance' page you will find the following text:

    If you make at least one chargeable call every six months, you will keep your top-up credit active and prevent it from expiring. If you don't do this, your cash credit will expire after six months of non-use.

    Do you know how long without top-up before you lose your existing credit with Meteor?

    That's why I left Three! Was very happily with O2 since 2006 and within a few weeks of the takeover I'd been cut off, reconnected, cut off again and royally messed about by the appalling "customer care" (hah!) to the extent I took the hump and switched phone providers. I also want to cancel their mobile broadband, once I decide which phone I'm sticking with so I can tether, and there's also the money card to to say goodbye to!

    You're cut off and can't receive calls/texts after six months but your credit remains intact should you top up within 240 days. You loose your credit after 240 days but your SIM remains active. Your SIM is deactivated and account deleted after 13 months.

    BTW, it's the same with Vodafone. You loose your credit after 240 days. However you're able to call/text for 180 days and receive calls/texts for 240 days too (roughly one & two months longer than with Meteor).

    Yes, been using cabbage with vodafone up to a week or so ago.

    Was with captcha which only had to be entered the odd few times.

    Heard the developer is busy at other stuff and not supporting it much any more which is a pity because it was a cracking little app.

    I have all the others which are working but none as user friendly as cabbage.

    I think it was only working on 02 and once that moved to Three it stopped, unless it's still working for anyone?
