Vodafone Texter is Back

Webmonkey

Hi Everyone,

Just got the vodafone texter thingy working again.

Location: http://www.kerrypages.com/text/


If you would like a copy of the script, please PM me or something.
As said before I do not record messages, numbers or passwords. I know I could easily but I don't. If you don't want to trust me then thats fine - Don't use the program, other wise save good time by using it.

Would you like to explain what this is......

I'd be interested in the code when the Meteor version is up and running

Basically does the whole loggin into vodafone and navigating through the site for you in one go. So basically one click instead of a few. I dunno up to yourself if you want to use it or not but script could be handy if you would like to incorporate a text message thing on your website as a means of contacting you.

kmart6

So what it just means you use this instead of the Vodafone site???

Webmonkey

If you want. It can also be useful if you want to hard code it into websites as contact forms via text, or like one suggested, monitor web servers to make sure they live and to alert you via text if problem. Its just a cheap alternative way rather than using SMS gateways which can cost lots of money.

Ok im just going to leave it cause it still is'nt really making much sense to me now!!!Thanks anyway!!!

Webmonkey

Ok well maybe you'll understand some day...

flywheel

nice one donal - CYPM

fletch

Sounds like an excellent idea....pity i'm with meteor and only get 30 free online txts

Random

Meteor give 300 free!

flywheel

not to pre-pay they don't, only 30

Random

I am on prepay, I get 300 texts per month. Everyone on prepay gets 300 texts per month free from their website.

I would suggest you email info@meteor.ie with your phone number and website pin number and ask them to fix it for you.

Webmonkey

Im not going to bother making a meteor one onless someone can double confirm that you get 300 texts on pay as you go. Wouldn't be worth it if it just 30.
even though ciaran you seem to say there is and maybe your right. Just need someone else to confirm this too

spartacus93

Doesn't seem to work for me. Is my username my phone number like it is on my vodafone? And password the 4 digit pin? Well done anyway seems like a app that could have many uses. I probably just did something wrong.

No they dont. I also only get 30 free texts p/m. Its all to do with the tarriff that you are on. I prefer to keep the 13c rate for all network calls after 6pm and the rewards scheme on credit purchased during each month.

Thats why I only get 30, well thats what their CS tell me anyway.

Same here, My details are correct, I know that for sure. Maybe there is a slight glitch in it. I am using my vodafone number. (before anyone comments on my previous post about my meteor account.)

Webmonkey

Strange. It isn't your 4 digit pin though that you use.
When you registered on vodafone.ie you were sent a password, I think it is a 5 digit password. or maybe it has letters too. Still works fine here for me anyways.
And yes the username is your phone number inc the 087 before

Aquos76

For the destination numer, should we be using+3538? or just 08?

Webmonkey

Just 08

kmart6

I can confirm that Meteor offer 300 webtexts,or well atleast thats what I have!!!

Yeah ... Most on Meteor Anytime and Meteor Leisure Time packages get 30 messages a month. Most of Meteor Minutes, Meteor Talk Time, Anytime Plus and Leisuretime Plus get 300 a month.

I tried it with my number (an 085 number ported to Vodafone) and my brothers 087 and they didnt work. I'm using the 4 digit my vodafone pin, the same one I would use to login to my vodafone. Have tried using IE and Opera. Tried on two different machines both networked and I am using Digiweb Dsl. I don't know if any off this makes a difference (or if you care) but it may help you understand the problem!

Webmonkey

hmm i dunno then. It works fine for me here. Anyone else having problems?

Random

Just tried it with my sisters details and won't send either webmonkey.


Re: meteor - I'm on Pre-Pay Meteor Anytime Plus with 300 txts.

Webmonkey

hmm odd. I might have an idea whats up alright. They might have different field names for different groups of numbers. I'll work on fixing it later on.

Webmonkey

No luck mate.

Hmm, I have been using TextBuddy which used to work great, though at the moment, messages are not sending. The app is similar to yours WebMonkey (I used to host your wee app a year or so ago), except you download a client instead of using a website.

Maybe issues are related, perhaps it's an issue with vodafone server?

Did you change your pin when you first got the phone. Chances are that its the original pin that is you password.

thanks for the advice but aren't the my vodafone pins and the phone pins unrelated?

Yes, the PIN you need, is the one you'd log into Vodafone's website with. Your phone PIN is irrelevant in this case.

FTR, the Texter isn't workign for me either.

Webmonkey

Yeah there seems to be a big issue with it not working for some.
Vodafone create a random page to where you send a text message, where the fields are posted to. The script grabs this out but if the page changes in anyway it will get confused and get some other crap out of the page. I think this is what is happening.
For people like me where it works, we have different pages to the rest. I will have to buy myself a new vodafone sim card to test out the newer ones.
Vodafone are makign it very hard to use. I guess they don't like the likes of me with these scripts. Anyways it will have to wait for mid week or so before i get time to work on it.


Edit: Does it actually work for anyone besides me?

Same here
Tried both, but no luck?

flywheel

had a read around (as I've been stuck with 30...) and this was their announcement when they upped the free text to 300

300
FREE WEB TEXTS

Now available to all AnyTime Plus, Leisure Time Plus and Pay Later plans

So anyone who stayed on a pre Aug 23rd pre-pay tariff seems to get 30. i.e. logging into MyMeteor the 'Free Text' page for a pre-pay Anytime account you get greeted with:

Send up to 30 SMS messages per month free of charge to any Irish number.

moving to a Plus looks like better value for most charges (except for some circumstances e.g. on Anytime where meteor-meteor calls are 9c, compared to 20c on the Anytime Plus)... but do your own homework to see if migrating to Anytime Plus / Leasuretime Plus to get the 300 webtexts will be a good/bad thing for you... all new and legacy pre-pay tariff deatils are available on the Meteor website

stereo_steve

The new price are better value. International calls work out more expensive and you loose your monthly rewards but IMO theres no reason to stay on old plans unless you call international numbers alot. Instead 32c a minute calls they are 50c. (Still cheaper for me on prepay to call Internationally then my friends on other networks to call nationally on peak! )

As for texting, check out dounutface and Basquilles little texter

all the info is on the Meteor site so should be easy for people to do their own homework and compare the plans based on their own usage patterns, some (albeit a few) might be worse off as it would depend how they use their phone...

Webmonkey

Hi Guys.

Ok I made a newer version: http://www.kerrypages.com/newtext/

Right it might and might now work. When you use it it will display some information , if it doesnt' work then can you help me by copying it in here just to see what the hell is going on.
Thanks
