the main function of this program is to use the web texts that irish networks give to their customers so if you have a swedish account it won't work. It can also use a service called sms discount. Google it and sign up, then put your username and password from it into the programhallo i downloaded this file, and i opened it in my phone and i install it, But the problem is i dont know the username it tested dublin dublin which i say in yhis thread, but now to the big problem, Im from sweden and the network is not there, i have Telia2comviq, is there a way so i can acces this good program?
Sorry gor the bad english
sms discount isn't free but is very cheap for sending texts
@the people having problems with aft, the website is down which is why it's not working
@Caliden:
what phone do you have?
Can other java applications access the internet?
Do you have a login from another network that you can try in the program?0 -

Sam Vines I really appreciate the help. Sorry if im about to ask stupid questions but im a novice when it comes to all this!!
I do all the steps as you said and when I get as far as add -> access point->access point settings my next options are data bearer and bearer settings, I've gone in to these options and I don’t see an option to enter a proxy address and port....
My phone came with Opera Mini installed on it and im having problems connecting with that also, but im presuming the fact that it was pre installed means that I can actually use it with my phone!!!!!!!!!! There must be a simple explanation..!!
Yes that it the address for cabbage i have been using, i've double and treble checked it for a spelling mistake buy it keeps telling me address not found
Very frustrating, they are 2 great applications and i WANT THEM BACK!!!0 -
you know that the address is case sensitive right? so if you type:Quarrybaby wrote: »Sam Vines I really appreciate the help. Sorry if im about to ask stupid questions but im a novice when it comes to all this!!

Im on 02 prepaid. Is there a solution to my problem!!!!???
You are for some reason trying to open the jar file on the computer instead of in the phone?0 -
that error is because it's trying to run the file as a java file instead of downloading it. i get the same error when i click on a jar on my computer. instead of just clicking on it, right-click and click download. that works for me and if it works for you you must be making some mistake in the address.Quarrybaby wrote: »Yep i know it is case sensitive.

are you typing exactly the link i posted above or is there maybe some part of it that you thought was ok to leave out, maybe the http://
are you putting in www. you shouldn't
are you leaving out the /mobile/ part?
are you using - instead of _?
if you can click links that you get sent in texts, i recommend you copy the link above, paste it into a webtext and send it to yourselfQuarrybaby wrote: »Im on 02 prepaid. Is there a solution to my problem!!!!???

I really do feel rather dumb,
as I pasted that link for cabbage into a text and sure enough it worked … oh the shame!!! Cant figure out what I was typing wrong, as I made sure it was all in the correct case……
I have done the add web part of your instructions. I am now on the add access point part. When I get as far as bearer settings I do not have an option of GPRS access point. What I have is :
Dial-up number
Authentication type
Data call type
Data call speed
User Name
Password
Displ. Term. window0 -

right so you've selected the wrong type of access point. go up one level from bearer settings (so that you can see the option to go into bearer settings) and there should be another item on the list called "data bearer". go into that and there should be two options. what they're called varies by phone but it should be something like:Quarrybaby wrote: »I have done the add web part of your instructions.

what you have selected: GSM data or CS data or circuit switched
what should be selected: GPRS data or PS data or packet switched.
it doesn't really matter what they're called. just whichever one is selected, pick the other one and then when you go into bearer settings you should see the right list0 -

Well im getting somewhere, cause i've done all that and now when i go to text off cabbage im getting a message saying 'subscribe to packet date first'
I've obviously done a step wrong somewhere, im just leaving work now so i'll double check all the steps when i get home!!!!! I really appreciate the help!!0 -

if you find that the settings are exactly as i've posted above and it still doesn't work, it's possible that your account isn't being allowed access to the "open.internet" access point. if this is the case, you'll have to call o2 to ask them to activate it
Just called o2 customer service and they havent a clue :mad: :mad: :mad: 0 -

call them again and say this "i would like the internet apn activated on my account". Apn stands for access point name. If the agent doesn't know what you're talking about, tell him to ask some colleagues and if they don't know, ask for it to be escalated to the technical teamI keep getting "There was a problem sending your message" when I used AFT. I have a SE 810i on Meteor and nothing has changed on my phone with regard to the AFT application or my internet settings (I am using isp apn).
I am using cabbage successfully on the same phone and using the same internet settings.
I wonder is the AFT problem related to the "DOS" posted by Dal above?
yes it is. Aft isn't working because its server is down0 -
