Yep yep hopefully within a week I will hope to get it fixed. I've been drinking waaay to much this weekend to ave a look at it so I will post an update here if I can get it sorted.

PS. If anyone who works in Meteor is reading this then please stop changing your site. Change is BAD!!! (for me)

They did a fairly big change to their site. I updated mackers O2sms script to work with meteors new site. This xml file shows the flow of the whole login & sending proceedure. You have to manually set some of the input fields when sending a text, particularly step 14, which sets the "action" field, otherwise it wont work.

Cheers thanks for the info I'll have a look into this...

I've tried this one a few times and it never works for me.

fbradyirl

Ok everyone I had a chance last Friday and I finally sat down and fixed this thing! I've also added a few new features.

Please donate a couple of euros and help keep the updates coming (so I won't be so slow in future) .

I am testing it at the minute and will be putting it up on this website for download later in the week:

http://meteorjsms.googlepages.com/

Please note you will need the latest version of Java installed on your computer first. Get that here.

P.S. Anyone on the mailing list will get a mail when I put it up there.

Cheers,

Just installed it, works very well. Just a couple of thoughts. It would be nice if it could download your address book from Meteor.ie. How would you handle groups like it does on the meteor.ie. Thats a handy feature.

Still thanks for that. It annoying that Meteor doesn't allows webtxt outside of Ireland. Thats a PITA. Was handy to webtxt my mates in the UK. Mind you the O2 webtext was unsuable a lot of the time, because the site was so slow.

This is a nice prigram but sadly im with vodafone... I have found another program that works for all 4 networks in ireland here
Ive been using it for a few weeks now and it seems pretty good

Is it fast?

For sending messages?? Ya its fast, about the same time a phone takes to send a message.. and it comes as a standalone exe or as an install exe... you can have different profiles to choose from like you could have a login for each of the networks and choose which one to use... you can store numbers too obviously.

Its pretty good.

Would you be interested in getting this hooked up wth AFT? adding Vodafone/o2 support would be as easy as visiting one URL then, my msn address is donut (at) donutsoft (do.t) net

Please add me and we can speak further

Nice program mate, I like the faxt that it supports Mac. Been meaning to try putting MT into Java myself (or something else which works on a MAC) as that's what I'm doing in college.

What's AFT? I don't think I would have time to start supporting Vodafone and O2 (maybe if I was getting paid I might consider it). The source code is there for anyone who wants to give it a lash.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PM ASAP!

Version 2.0.2 now available with bug fixes...

You might be better off at scraping your own meteor screnscraping code and utilise donut's API... This way you don't need to maintain the codebase if meteor change their site Let donut do it!

Here's a wiki on the send msg api:

Maybe not scrap his meteor code, but o2/vodafone would be very simple to implement
Simply make the program visit
http://sms.donutsoft.net/sendsms.aspx?s=o&u=username&p=password&d=0851234567&m=hello there!

for o2

or
http://sms.donutsoft.net/sendsms.aspx?s=v&u=username&p=password&d=0851234567&m=hello there!

(note s=v compared to s=o for o2/vodafone respectively).

Would take you 5 minutes to write the code

fbradyirl

thats really cool actually lads. Yeah ill have a look at this when I get time...

rymus

Not working for me for some reason. I'm running ubuntu with all the java updates. It constantly prompts for mobile number and password and even though both are entered correctly it doesnt get any further...

Handy out, costs very little on o2.

A friend tried it with a Meteor phone but thats an 087 number and it didn't work for him.
