AFT - Use your free webtexts from your mobile - costs a fraction of a cent per text!

Tested again last night on a V3 and on a V620 and in Java settings I switched off vibration. With the midp1 version you're right that the phone doesn't freeze and messages are sent successfully on O2 only. When you look in Java Settings it says CLDC Version 1.1 and MIDP Version 2.0.

I have tried out other messaging applications and the MIDP 2 versions work

The application can't access the phonebook on either handset unlike the Nokias

I note that the MIDP1 version downloaded from here does not save sent texts or have the option for "AFT user". Is it because it has not been updated or those features are the differences? I feel that is a very important feature if the application is closed by mistake

Could I suggest you have a different name on the two versions so that both could be saved for testing and also use version numbers?

Another suggestion down the line would be that if you wanted to incorporate a phone book then allow sync between AFT server and handset, then allow sync between the app and AFT server. This would cut out a lot of hassle for users.

Thanks for all the good work

Thanks Yapyap
So I think I know what the problem is. Basically AFT uses http GET for O2 and http POST for meteor and vodafone. I will try to code a solution further down the line for this.

I haven't yet updated the midp 1.0 version. I am working on a new version of AFT at the moment (which has a phonebook). After I finish this I will update the midp 1.0 version and fix the above moto v3 problem.

Do you know whether the user can access the phonebook with the v3 running AFT midp 2.0 (or is it only the midp 1.0 version that doesn't work)?

Can't access on either version, but AFT is not unique on that - other messaging apps don't either.
Motorolas are funny because you have firmware and flex variants. Let's say the new V3 with firmware R4515 has different flex versions between O2, Meteor and Vodafone. For instance SIM applications will only work on a Vodafone, definitely not on a Meteor and I think not on an O2. I recently had to reflash my V3 to get a dual Sim to work on it. It has even been written that different skins affect how applications work
I think there are some programs on the Motorola developer site where you could test how your app works on Motos before release

Wow!! Any hints when this will be out? Can't wait to use that cos on my smartphone I cannot access the phone book from within the midp2.0 version.

I've got a SEP900 and am on Vodafone. I've tried both the MIDP1 and MIDP2 versions. Both try sending the message, but I get "There was a problem sending your message".

Any ideas?

Ask yourself the same questions as http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=52121964&postcount=392. In your case for Vodafone the service you requiew is isp.vodafone.ie. It is unlikely that your handset has been configured for this service. If your on Vodafone bill pay don't go to the bother unless you're on a data package

The same rules will apply as here

and you get advice on getting settings here

notice people having trouble with the V3 and i don't know if this will help, but it works fine on the V3x for vodafone.

is the number of messages left changing each time you send a text? if it is, then its probably a problem at vodafone's end. can you send a text by logging in as normal?

I can't comment on how much it would definitely cost, but it should be 1c for four messages. As for the phonebook, according to yapyap, motorola v3 does not have this feature, but I am currently coding a new version of AFT which supports an AFT phonebook which should help

Excellent application, and credit to the developers for being so eager to share it and help everyone get up and running with it. Most people developing something like this would be more concerned with making a quick buck out of it.

Moto V3 on meteor working fine as well(Apart from the backlight problem). With meteor you really got to push them to activate your phones isp settings. I found this easier to do via email. When meteor recieve your email they have no idea what your talking about so they copy your email to there tech dept. After that its clear sailing.Just make sure you tell them your trying to connect to your laptop. they will send you back a load of crap with laptop settings but somewhere in the email it should say that isp is now active on your account and thats all you really want from them. Hope this information helps out a fellow Meteor V3

Great you got it to work.
Did you use any more settings than you had got here?
Is your Razr a new V3ROHS (software R4515) or an original? (Press *,#, "Red end call key" at once)
Which operator is it from?
Did you try out the midp1 version to sort out the backlight issue?

I am very interested in receiving your reply because I know my SIM is activated and can text with O2 only. I have tried out the full 3 x 3 matrix on the new Razr , but get the following message from Meteor / Vodafone
Message sent
You have HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control private.... etc etc

BUT the message isn't sent

I don't know why the message fails, but my code tells the phone to flash and vibrate once when the message status is updated, I will make this configurable in the next version as it seems to be causing some problems on certain mobiles.

I've a Nokia 6670 and my screen goes dark after the message is sent also..

Motorola V3 from Meteor. Im guessing its an Original (the *,#,red end call key did nothing for me)

I didnt do anything special to it. I just followed your instructions from an earlier post to set up the isp internet profile - Then just keep on to meteor untill they finally activated my account.

I have tryed the midp1 version to solve the backlight and fair enough it does just that but for some reason the messages take a very long time to send and 4 out of 10 messages dont arrive where they are ment to or else they end up there 20 or 30 minutes later.

I guess i can live with the backlight going off though:)

Blackdragon did you email info@meteor.ie or is their an email address for customer services? I am using aft on a SE k750i and am being charged 2c per txt. Do i just ask them to enable isp on my account and send me the settings? Great app by the way :cool:
Also (some people with sonyericsson phones may be interested in this) i sometimes use bluetooth to use my home broadband for WAP\gprs access link more info here i usually use it for using opera mini/eMSN at home. Any chance of getting aft to work with this, i tried it and i get an error.

I'm not sure give it a try. It should work as 3 wont see any thing because your using your PCs internet connection. Any problems have a read through the thread at the second link above most problems are answered there.

I finally got Aftuser in a working state, although due to a bug the current client wont work with it, gotta wait for the next version to come out first. There is 2 bugs, number 1 the username only allows numerical usernames, and 2. it visits the wrong url to send the message. Hopefully a new version will be out tommorow when everyone has their webtexts back

On the other hand, MSN support is added now too, so you can send text messages straight from MSN messenger.

1. sign up at http://sms.donutsoft.net/
2. Log in, and set up a service. Note that all of your data is encrypted, and its not easy at all to simply decrypt it without the appropriate passwords, I cant even view the data.
3. Activate MSN with your account (youll see this inside account settings)
4. Add sms@donutsoft.net to your MSN contact list

type in
send phonenumber message
ie
send 085123456 Hello there

Pretty novel thing, addressbook will be coming soon

Webmonkey

Hey Donut, done it but -4 messages left. Is that going from your account or something? Ne ways don't think it working atm.

donutface

-4 means your MSN account isnt activated yet.

1 bug on the bot where it doesnt sign in again once it gets kicked off, but ill fix that again.

To fix the -4 fault, go to http://sms.donutsoft.net/, log into your account and go to msn settings, select a Service (ie Default) or whatever and just click Save.
