Don't

I have it - and love it - but it doesn't seem like it gets updated quickly or at all when issues occur.

The line seems to be the developer is busy - and obviously the mobile prioviders don't play fair - which is fair enough but if that's the case, don't pay for the app if it's supported intermittently or eventually not at all

Ann your response seems a little harsh, don't you think? The app costs all of 99 cents i.e. €0.99. On what intergalactic scale of values could that not be considered worth buying? What else can one get for a euro? Cabbage Ultimate works very well for me on Meteor, and has done for a number of years. It has paid for itself over and over.

It obviously works well for a lot of other people too.

Not for three and VF anymore.

Not knocking the developer or begrudging the money I paid but why encourage somebody to buy the paid version as things stand?

I'm with Vodafone & its working fine for me. Just tested it there.

Simply because it is superb value at €0.99. Why the blazes would the developer give his time and energy to maintain a product if people are not prepared to pay half the price of a daily newspaper?

I appreciate where you are coming from, but this is a good, useful product and the developer should be encouraged. Mol an óige etc:-)

Not working for me with Vodafone....it can't verify my account yet I can log in fine to www.vodafone.ie with the same username and password!?

Cheers,

Edit: Keep getting a message saying "Could not connect to network website"!??

Strange. I just tried it again & the message sent with even presenting the captcha. I haven't reentered my details in the app in a long time , I'd be afraid what could happen now.

Definitely won't work for me :-( I have tried to get it working on Cabbage Ultimate and on Cabbage Lite and the same message appears when I try to add my Vodafone details!??

When I add my O2 details it immediately connects and I can send messages no problem at all!??

Cheers,

Have you the sending method set to direct connection.

Working for me on vodafone as well. It has stopped working a few times since I got it about 18 months ago but it always comes back. The longest was about 2 months.

Got it working guys.....changed it to Direct Connection and was then able to get my account verified!

Same here, always have to enter capctcha even thought I have the app installed to bypass it....

Has the developer really abandoned this project? NOO!!!

Has anyone come up with an alternative for O2. The keep changing their website and making it worse.

Getting fed up with lack of any acknowledgement from developer of this app, he still takes in the money Im sure, I downloaded the source code for his app freely from his website. The software is distributed freely under GPL licensing, so anybody can download and modify and re-distribute.

I familiar enough with java, from what I can gather in the code, he doesn't have hardcoded in the three webtext URL, depending on where you have your mobile account a call is made to another file on his server that contains all the URL's from each mobile provider,

varStore.setVar("server","http://cabbagetexter.com/send.php");

if they were hardcoded in the android version we could simply make the correction for the new three.ie webtext page

I dont know enough to hack the stuff, to make it work

Oops...

Had been writing and following on another thread and missed this one, but just an FYI for anyone interested and while we patiently wait for Cabbage devs to fix their app, Textdroid Pro and Free, have both been updated to fix an issue with o2 login and as far as I know works well on Three and the other Irish carriers too.

Textdroid PRO (Paid)

Textdroid (Free)

Not as good or as functional as Cabbage, but will work for any that need it in the meantime.

Please Cabbage devs, get the finger out! :P

Textdroid isn't working for me in Belfast. Not sure why. Just cannot validate my account :mad:

Yep can login to the website fine. Just can't validate the account with the number as 08*. Cheers for the concern though.

It may be to do with the IP being not Irish and therefore needing the validation code. I don't know if Textdroid worked for people abroad before? Perhaps some wiley fox could enlighten us in this regard

@magical marshmallow, just a quick update, being that at this time of night I don't wish to hop on a plane to test this in another country, I did the next best thing and using a VPN and UK IP, I was able to recreate your problem and I too was unable to login to o2 via Textdroid, so no joy, sorry about that, seems one has to have IRL IP to login via the app and o2.

One glimmer of hope though, the o2 site seems to be a little intermittent tonight, in that I tried login earlier and it told me I was locked out, contact o2 Customer Care (or don't care depending on the day and issue), but moments later I was able to login no problem, so the o2 elves, could well be working on the site as we speak and maybe tomorrow things will be different or they will just have locked Textdroid out and we are all back to square one again ...lol

Anyways, g'night from me
