    Have you tried "Irish Webtext" from Google Playstore. It might be worth your while to check it out.

    If I'm poked in the right places enough time it might motivate me to do a desktop version :P

    It's mostly laziness that's been holding me back, plus there is no simple distribution channel like the play store for desktop applications, no easy updates etc...

    Poke :D

    I have exported my Cabbage (Desktop) contacts list in csv format and am trying to import it into my Meteor Web Txt online account, but it is refusing to import saying the csv file is not in the correct format. Any idea how I can sort it?

    Fair play. It would be a fantastic to have a desktop version of a webtext app.
    I would definitely pay something for such a program.
    I would use it every day, hate using phone keyboards.
    I know distribution/licencing is almost impossible but even if you had a voluntary/donation paypal option you might get a few €€ for it.

    I suppose there is little hope of the app being updated for past 02 customers?

    I am not a great fan of the alternatives.

    I see Cabagge Ultimate, Cabbage Lite and the associated Cabbage Captcha have been removed from the Google Play store. Does anybody have an APK backup of Cabbage Ultimate. I have it installed on my phone and it's working fine with my Meteor account. I want to install it on a second device but no matter backup software I use I cannot extract a backup of Cabbage Ultimate from my phone.

    Thanks for the link. When I try to install the apk it says that it is installing "All in one downloader" which doesn't seem right. Could you check this please?

    Is anybody having trouble with the desktop version of cabbage (1.99.1) and Meteor? It stopped working for me about a month ago and I really miss it! Keep getting "Error (-7) Precheck: Network website failed."

    PS - Thank you very much Sam Vimes for this wonderful piece of software. I've been using it for many years and have recommended it to lots of friends. It's also been very useful to people with disabilities I've worked with in the past.

    I had this issue too but fixed it by doing the following.

    Hit the More button

    Go to configuration

    Put a tic in the check box for "Use old sending method (Advanced)"

    Sweeeet! That worked, thanks very much gadgetman496.

    Goodbye Meteor website for another few years!! The most annoying thing about the website is the automatic logout after a minute or two.

    Ah well, you did forewarn that you needed a nudge to get you motivated. Anytime by Friday week would be fine :D

    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 his 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....

    A friend just pointed out that Sam says on his website that "This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version."

    I just wish I had programming knowledge and could develop a Desktop version or even modify Sams great efforts so as it would work for all providers once again. Unfortunately I don't and because of that I have no idea either as to what it would actually take for someone in the know to create one. :(

    Poke!

    Hi
    It appears that the sending scripts for Tesco have problems with question marks. I.e. if a message contains a question mark then the script fails. I reckon I could fix this but I don't have access to the cabbage server. I haven't heard from Sam for ages. So would anybody else be able to (a) send me the latest tesco script and (b) upload the patched version back to the server?
