AFT release 1.3 out now!

    Release 1.3

    Improvements in this version:
    - Support for multiple accounts: AFT will store as many accounts as you like on the phone so you can easily switch between them.
    - Full support for VoipBuster and SMSDiscount. You can specify a "from number" which is the number that the text message will appear to have come from to the recipient.

    You won't have to overwrite the existing AFT data to use this upgrade (but you will have to re-enter your default account details)

    There is a new download location for this version of AFT:

    http://www.dallan.co.uk/aft/aft.jar
    http://www.dallan.co.uk/aft/aft.jad

    or navigate to the wap page on your mobile phone:

    http://www.dallan.co.uk/aft/aft.wml



    All feedback greatly appreciated!

    Can't see where I can specify this?

    Other than that it looks great. Working well with o2 and voipbuster.

    @donut,keith,akula

    When you choose viopbuster or smsdiscount, the main form should then dynamically changeto have a field appended to it called "From Number". Does this not happen for you guys? Have you scrolled down to the very bottom?

    Ok I fixed the indexoutofbounds exception, can those who had problems please try again?

    I have the same; so far I've sent 2 from the PC client. Are you still on the few free trial messages from SmsD, or with credit on the account? I wonder if it's some kind of IP monitoring issue akin to their fair use policy on call minutes, and will work once I send money

    Or another possibility? - I'm assuming that the number ID sent must still have been verified on the account. I'll try this new 1.3 with VB this evening

    The "from number" needs to be verified for it to appear as the sender, but if it has not been verified then it should default back to your username.

    Just a reminder: I fixed the indexoutofbounds exception, can those who had problems please try again?

    dal, I forgot to ask - is this just an MIDP 2.0 version? It means I must choose the right phone (6070 not 3120)

    Yeah, I am having difficulties with it. I am just getting "there was a problem sending your mail".

    I tried to top up my account last night and it appears an approved authorisation request was made against my credit card from Betamax VOIP Credit in Cologne for €11.90 so I presume there are no account problems.

    I also wonder with AFT that for the sender's number, it gives no facility to enter the + key so if I send a text to the US, my sender's number will begin with 00 which is not the US international access code.

    Do you have a working net connection on your phone? Has AFT worked for you before?

    Good point about the "+" symbol. I will change that tonight.

    Betamax servers aren't in the USA, so this isn't relevant, just as you wouldn't dial a US number from Europe as 0111


    And in fact, if you are sending + to the USA, you may have compatibility issues if the receiving phone is CDMA which doesn't support +, so I actually would suggest 00

    What do you mean you can't scroll down to select different options? What options? Where?

    A bit off topic.

    I only setup sms discount yesterday, i haven't bought any credit, just using the free texts so far to test. When you top up with sms discount, with €5 or €10 do you get texts up to value of your credit?, or is a set amount for those prices?

    Haven't got this working with AFT yet, keep getting "invalid account", although i have prob used my free texts up, but it didn't work before anyway.
    When you enter your number in "From" field, you cannot enter +3538*****.
    The plus cannot be entered, could this be the problem?

    Keith.

    Yep that was just mentioned a bit further up this thread. I will change it tonight. In the meantime, 00353....... works fine for me.

    Are you absolutely sure about this? I have tested AFT on a samsung e900 without any problems.

    As I remarked above, I suspect they've restricted the [5] free trial messages by IP address, and you'll get the invalid account message because of no credit yet on the account.

    I can't quite figure what you mean about the prices. The credit applied will be used at the tariff applicable when the future messages are sent, so we are taking a gamble on whether they'll increase them, not pre-buying a fixed quantity at the current price. I hope that's what you mean.

    Hi Andy,

    What i was getting at was: Are they like the text bundles on o2, voda etc....
    I haven't looked into the sms site much, so not sure how it all works.

    No it's not a like a network's inclusive monthly bundle that will expire if not used. It will be open-ended, but as I say, with an exposure to risk of future tariff change.

    I think it depends on how much use you expect. AFT can be used with the Irish network accounts anyway, so SmsD might be of more interest to foreign users like me, or non-O2 Irish users who send quite a few foreign messages.

    My verified number for smsdiscount is +353857..... and the number I enter into the "from number" field is "00353.......". This definitely works for me.

    When you send a text normally from the voipbuster client does it come from your username or your number?

    Donutface, you also made the "from number" change on the server for voipbuster, right?

    I think he means that the recipient not being able to reply straight away to a message beginning with 00, while replies can be sent straight away if the original message contains a plus.

    As soon as you select either Voipbuster or SMSDiscount a new field should appear just below the password field.

    I have tested this on an SE K750i, a Moto V525 and a Samsung E900.

    What kind of phone do you have?
