We know you can not get them :P


Assuming that was supposed to be "now", I can't find it on the site, possibly because I'm still on the old tariff. Where is it on the site?

nvm googled it

Any network?

You can schedule texts too !

I'm on Meteors BPL at the moment but if i moved to 3pay and got the 1GB addon i would be sorted with data and text for the month! Very tempting! Assuming sam updates cabbage which i'm sure he will!!

Edit: Can you send more than 160 characters at one time like on 02 where they are received as one text?

flodis79

No you cant even send 160 chars, only 140 something. They affix ' - sent using webtext.three.ie' to the texts...

Kenny Powers

Thats pretty crap maybe sam can find away to remove this?

Totally agree.

Webtexts would have been the thing to have me move from Meteor BPL, but this message on the end of the texts is crap? WTF is that for?

flodis79

sorry just an update here.
if you text is longer than 140 chars, there's no ad in the end, I only sent a short text to try this service. then tried a longer one and there was no ad.

Kenny Powers

So you can probably delete the add from the end of your text in the message box? If not the likes of cabbage and others could just add in white space to fill the text to 160.

No clue..

And if you try to send the same message twice, you get the error:
"Message not sentThis is a duplicate message i.e. This message was already sent within the last 2 minutes"

Yes, but to different numbers.. FFS.

Maybe its just a temporary thing to make people aware that three now have webtexts. Well thats the only reasonable explaination I can come up with.

Thats something i guess but i would have hoped that you could send >160 characters in one.

No the ad is not part of the text box. It will be added "behind the scenes".

I guess if it's new they will need to iron out the odd bug (assuming that they see that as a bug!)

There will be indeed

http://cabbagetexter.com/send.php now supports 3 and I just have to change the desktop and mobile apps to allow the new service, just a matter of adding 3 to the list

As flodis says, the ad only gets inserted if you send less than 140 chars

Good man can you add white space to messages that are less than 140 to round it up to 160 this should get rid of the add?

will there be a new version to dowload or will the existing version work.

Webmonkey

Reminds me of when o2 was digifone - had a ad at the end too, but if you buffer out the remaining characters with blank spaces,can make it disappear.

Three struggle to do anything right is the -sent by webtext.three.ie temporary?

Also, Is it possible to change PIN?
