Cabbage Desktop / Cabbage Mobile mega thread (Desktop/mobile texting app)

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.

Is cabbage gone from the play store?
I can't find it after resetting the phone to default.

choons

Yeah its not on the play store. Does anyone know where to download the APK?

Even the website sends you to a blank download now.
Pity, one of the most useful apps I have!

Great App.

Best texting app out there in my opinion.

Same here, same with most of my friends.
I have to use the smelly meteor app now.

Think it's because you have log in with email and password now, great app while it lasted I'm using Irish Web text app now

trying that irish web text now because my cabbage now wont work (that numerical message) - but it dont look like the irish web text app does not have a schedule feature to send a text at a later time/date - which is a shame im gonna miss that feature that was in cabbage

Andy From Sligo

Ive got that 'numerical expected' message on the android app on my phone for meteor but dont get it on the windows desktop version v.1.99.1 - that still seems to be working fine.

Knock Off Nigel

Be handy if you could get that version apk

Andy From Sligo

Update: - the android mobile version seems to be back working for me. For a while it said "numerical expected" but now it works just as before and sends fine now

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.

TreasureBin

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.
