AFT down for O2 until further notice

dal

Just a quick note to say that AFT will be down for o2 users for a few days. Webmonkey is working on a solution for O2s new site.

But it's working with AFT over o2?? Even after the change on the site. Worked as late as one hour ago.

Really? It hasn't worked for me for a few days...
Is it still working for you right now?

Maybe this is why it isn't working for me. Regardless, I think I am going to switch back to Meteor, o2's web site is really annoying me and meteor is better value on calls.

Is it not working for other people too? It isn't working for me or my sister ( it was previously working for her ). I tested my connection for opera and it is ok.

Yes I think this is your problem. I think webmonkey said it to you yesterday in another thread.

Still working very good! Using it on Meteor PAYG on a Nokia 6070 with Meteor ISP GPRS settings.

note that Meteor and Vodafone is still working. Gives me an idea to implement a backup service. yapyap has told me about this one service called hooya (www.hooya.com). Its a paid for service but you can define the number you send from. This could mean that if you fail to send with your provider website, AFT will automatically send it through Hooya instead, and either way the message gets delivered. Maybe we can even strike a deal with them by buying in bulk if demand is high enough. It could also allow for Meteor/Vodafone customers to send international text messages (still at decent rates though!).


Soon enough ill implement text alerts too guys, no more paying your provider 10c for recieving news alerts, now itll be free

How much do they charge for a text? It is not very clear from their site. In fact nithing is clear, the links don't work, looks like a very amateur setup.

I use smsgeezer.com for my international texts. They charge 7c a text.

Strike a deal with smsbug.com or mobisms.com instead!!
Much cheaper sms, 3c and 2.8c respectively.

I never knew there was so many J2ME sms programs out there! I thought what we had was pretty unique

Ohhhh, looks good! Good find, do you use it? I'll give it a go.

Im in contact with the owner of mobisms so hopefully we'll strike a deal soon.

I have some pretty big plans now Now we'll be able to get AFT working in an international market
