Oh yes...any idea why AFT is charging 2c a text instead of a quarter of a cent? Or should I get lost and post in the AFT thread?

I think O2 changed their pricing a while ago so they have a minimum 2c connection charge like the other networks. When was the last time you tried it and it cost 0.25c?

Never! I just read that in a thread somewhere. It was probably from 2006 or something like that. Double

edit: Think I saw 0.25c on the first page of the AFT thread...

When I used credit, I got about 10 texts for a cent with the mobile version on o2, I wasn't on any data package, but I was on the 20c anytime any network deal.

Was that before they brought in the 99c per day cap?

haven't a clue, I probably mentioned it in this thread though so it'll be dated I'm sure

Yeah that would've been before they up the connection price and introduced the cap

Something like that will take a good bit of effort to track down. I've been thinking about basically stripping it down and rebuilding it properly for a while now because it's kind of thrown together and a bit of a mess but I haven't had the chance recently. I'm afraid we'll all just have to solider on for the moment until I can find the time

Spending far too much time out on the yacht(s) me thinks

Couldn't say to be honest. Motorolas are weird. Did it give any error message?

Got another crack at it and got "invalid file" as the error message for the .jar. As I said the .jad file wouldn't transfer at all. AFT is working on it (Motorola V3 RAZR) but even that isn't perfect (the screen goes completely black after sending a text, have to press the end call button to get it back).

Have you moved files around on your server recently Sam?
On cabbage mobile, my contacts won't download from the network site (please wait shows forever) and checking for updates shows the source code to a 503 page.

Both of those are bugs that I haven't got around to fixing yet. I'll post here when the fix is available

Yeah motorolas are weird. Without having one to test there's not much I acn do about it I'm afraid. When I get a chance I'm going to be rewriting the program to make it faster and simpler so it might work then

Hi Sam,

Getting an error this evening:

Error: [-8] Precheck: Invalid Response


Is this a known bug or a problem with my account?

Thanks

What network are you on and are you using the latest version?

Was just thinking about this program and thought of something. Would it be possible to add a piece of script to insert a fullstop at the end (160th character) of each text sent by three.ie. It would save all the three texters a bit of time!! Pity three wouldn't get rid of their silly ad and none of this would be necessary.

It already does that

Hi,

Thanks a million

Ah right! My bad. I'm not with three the moment but am considering the move.

Thanks for Cabbage, great app (1.96.1), working fine up to a few days ago on XP SP3. Lately I'm getting the (-7) precheck error.

Also, tried downloading 1.96.1 again to try a reinstall but it's telling me to install .NET framework v.2... I don't think I needed .NET the last time I installed... it doesn't need it does it? If so, too bad, no interest in installing more MS bloat

It's not working for me either. I'll look into it

You don't need the .NET framework but if you don't install it you have to click more->configuration and tick "use old sending method".

you'd be better of installing it though tbh. You'll find that more and more programs won't work without it. It supports the new versions of Microsoft programming languages.

jkforde

Just a quick update that it's working today (I didn't change any settings in the meantime) and thanks, I'll take your advice on the .NET!

jkforde

Hey Sam, can you tell me why Cabbage uses so many I/O reads when idle in the tray (XP SP3)? It's not a problem, just curious is all.

sendic

Hi. At the moment using voipcheap with cabbage will send a text to an irish number but not to a US number? Any ideas? Is it purely a voip cheap issue?

Thanks!

I'd have to look in the code tbh. When sending a message it loads a second exe in the background. The exe creates a file when it's finished and the main program keeps scanning the directory for it until it finds it. The scanning code is only supposed to scan while waiting for the other exe to return but maybe the timer isn't being disabled. I'll look into it anyway.

I wouldn't say it's a vopicheap issue. Tell me, if you try to send to an irish number with the format as +353851234567 does it work?

sendic

Can send to an irish number using 086xxxxxxx or +35386xxxxxxx. When i try an american number using either +1xxxxxxxxxx or 001xxxxxxxxxx i get a cannot connect to network site message. Thanks

In need of some help. On an unlocked Meteor 5800 with an O2 SIM, deleted all Meteor network settings & installed O2's, but am now unable to get cabbage working. Works fine on the home wifi, but get "Unexpected response format" when choosing either O2 MMS or O2 WAP GPRS. Do I need to configure something..? Thanks.

Sam, does cabbage work on the iphone?

Also, when using cabbage from my desktop I constantly get the -7 Network message and have to log onto meteor.ie and re-enter my password. Do you know what causes this? Im on latest version btw.

jarvis

Hi Sam,
On mobile with meteor, getting "could not connect to network site" constantly. need to attempt about 9 times before 1 text will send. Going on about 2 weeks now.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have bought hosting on infuseweb which has safe mode disabled and cURL is supported too.
I have changed cookiebank folder's attributes to 733 but it's still not working, looking at the code I don't really need to use the mysql, any idea why its not working ?

Are you using the latest version?
http://cabbagetexter.com/mobile/Cabbage_Mobile_1.74.jar
http://cabbagetexter.com/mobile/Cabbage_Mobile_1.74.jad

or type this into your phone's browser:
http://cabbagetexter.com/dl1.74

There was a problem sending over o2 but I fixed it in the latest version

No it doesn't. There's an alternative called Eirtext that you can get here:

Does it work for a while and then stop working and give you the error until you enter the password on the website?

Can you try changing the server to http://powermyphone.com/cabbage/send.php


Press options->accounts->options->edit server to change it

What's the error you get back?
If you call one of the network scripts directly is there any difference, eg instead of calling:
http://yourwebsite.com/send.php?u=0851234567&p=password&s=m&d=0851234567&m=message
you call:
http://yourwebsite.com/met.send.php?u=0851234567&p=password&s=m&d=0851234567&m=message
