Cabbage Desktop / Cabbage Mobile mega thread (Desktop/mobile texting app)

In regards to Cabbage for Android, watch this space, good news coming soon : )

Good news indeed. Very handy app - badly missed.

Any former O2 user had any luck with Cabbage on either desktop, phone or web? I know the Three site works sort of, I'm wondering about the Cabbage web site.

Cabbage has never stopped working on Meteor, although the MyMeteor app has superseded it and MyMeteor has the advantage of handling free International texts whereas Cabbage only handles national.

I meant to say on O2/Three

Well, it always worked on Three, and still does.

Are you using the latest version of the desktop app?

Cabbage did international texts? Think I might change to meteor after reading this. There's no way vodafone or O2 would include webtext in their app!!!

Used to use cabbage for international webtxts on O2 before it broke.

Yes - Meteor give an allowance of 100 free International Webtexts in addition to the 300 National ones. You can send them from the MyMeteor app using either your phone address book or the Webtext address book. Very convenient - no need for Cabbage any more. Cabbage was good when it was needed and when it was kept up-to-date. The problem is that it seems to be pointing at the old Meteor webtext page - which still works, but doesn't include International Webtexts.

Is anyone getting Cabbage to work with Vodafone from a PC desktop?
I am getting

Error: (-8) Precheck: Invalid response

I managed to get Jelly SMS working again but I much prefer Cabbage - it used to be able to read most of the Captcha things, Jelly SMS doesn't even try and it is slow.

Apologies, have not been on this thread for a while. I'm using the android version on my phone only. Have never used the desktop version.

Anyone heard of or used Irish Webtext?

Just came across it today and it seems to work fine on Meteor.

Well, a reviewer on the Play Store reported that it works for O2/exO2/Three customers. So thats a plus for it, I suppose.

Any chance it works when you're outside Ireland ????

Adrian4

Just wondering about the chances of Cabbage being updated?

If it is - do ye think three will make it difficult for texting Apps?

All it does is hook into the existing website - so if that works abroad, then I guess this would too.

no when you're abroad the website sends you a code which you have to input, then you can access your webtexts. i'm getting used to not having the convenience of cabbage anymore, i just wait til i'm on the computer and then send my webtexts!

Nate--IRL--

Ahh, apologies I wasn't aware of that. Pity really.

Hey All,

The app: irish webtext sends texts but one can not sync with inbox etc. It is good to have even that though, so thank you for posting.

Id happily pay extra money to have cabbage back as i use it alot in my business. Like a one of fee to make it worthwhile for the chap that made it.

Thank you all

Cabbage desktop v still working for me on Tesco

Just a thought. Since I know Sam Vimes is generally very busy (and possibly working abroad?) I wonder might he consider allowing some other programmers to have a go at updating Cabbage under your supervision? I see he even publishes the source code on the website. Three seem to have lifted the O2 webtext site more or less intact so it may be just a matter of changing web addresses.

I'm a bit rusty at programming myself (ok I haven't probrammed for thirty years!) but maybe there are some amongst you who would be willing and able?

If anyone is in contact with Sam could you float the idea please?

exhort

FYI: Irish web texts can send multiple texts!

Adrian4

I am still holding out for Cabbage.

I hope Sam will get around to up-dating it.

Great app.

Adrian4

Just a quick comment - I really miss the Cabbage App - It was easier to send a text through cabbage that through the phone.

Does anyone know if an up-date is on the horizon.


I appreciate Sam is very busy.
