    Vinny just downloaded eirtext pro on new iPhone 4. It has just locked me out of my o2 account. And don't ask did I put the right info in. Have to say I'm now not happy since your last update.Gave you time to sort it vin and you have failed again after all this app cost €3.99

    If you contact O2 customer care, they can unlock the account for you.

    Once they reset your password, delete the account in EirText and set up a new one with the new details.

    It all works for me now on vodafone after I was locked out. I checked I was no longer locked out by vf after waiting 24 hours. Deleted the app. Power cycled my 3GS and then restored the app via iTunes. Recreated the account in the app and now it is fine on wifi and gsm. Thanks vinny for looking into it

    Guys,Vinny kindly helped fix my prob.app working fine now.I was putting in wrong username when setting up account(after deleting it).Appreciate your efforts Vinny,thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭vinnycoyne


    Thanks guys. If the login / locked-out issue occurs again, please let me know.

    I just received this report from a user on the support forum:
    I am currently unable to use eirtext again, however, it appears to be a problem with vodafone.ie... I rang them and basically was told there is a problem on the site with passwords and it locking us out... n They are 'aware f the problem and that it is ongoing and are trying to fix it'...

    Obviously, I'm going to take this with a pinch of salt, as sometimes the customer care reps can give out the wrong info.

    Hi Vinny,

    Firstly thanks for the app in the first place - I appreciate it takes time to do and has saved me alot of money in the past.

    I also have a problem with EP (Free version). I'm currently with Meteor and was working up until very recently. I send the message as normal however it doesn't deliver - it enters the text into the conversation as if it has been sent.

    I've test it on all networks and none seem to deliver.

    As a make way I've downloaded JellySMS - works the same as EP however I'm not a fan of the colours although it does seem to connect faster to Meteor website.

    Hope you can find a work around - thanks again.

    I open the app it opens for 3 seconds and just closes EVERY time. I updated and it's still the same I got the iphone 4 today on O2 and it's the same is there anything that you or I could do to get back to the old version that I never had a problem with???

    Would you mind sending my your login info via PM? I'd like to test your account out here. My Meteor account works just fine.

    Can you please delete the app and then re-download it from the App Store?

    Also, will you please send the crash reports to me? Info on how to do so can be found here: http://www.vinnycoyne.com/?p=221

    Thanks

    Folks, I'm not on the @rse lick here, but as of the rest of you, I experienced serious problems with this app, shortly after the update (early July or late June) however, after the recent update (this weeks) the app is once again a DREAM to use!

    Initially after I updated, I was ready to scream obscenities as I seemed to be getting nowhere and the logging in note stayed on the app.
    Then I realised, on the apps settings the password seemed to be blank after the update, I quickly putty password back into the blank space, sent a text to my mam in the north, logging in appeared, changed to 'sent via o2.ie' inside three secs. Next thing the delivery status popped up on screen to inform me text had been sent.

    Hassle free, easy and simple! The way an app should be! Fairplay to Vinnie for taking on board what we had been telling him!

    Have you double checked your password is correct in settings?

    check aswell if you can login on the networks website, I'm locked out of vodafone for 24 hours by trying to send a few texts with a blank/wrong password after just updating so even if u delete and re-install that might be causing the problem.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,272 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    It's asking me to pay for it again in the app store. Bad enough paying once for it, never mind twice

    No, you most certainly don't have to pay for it twice. I downloaded the latest version yesterday, and it asked me to verify my payment options, which looked like it was asking me to pay again, but it was not. This is an iTunes thing, not an Eirtext thing.

    I double checked the credit card to be sure, and no money was taken.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,272 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    Thanks guys, works again. It's a great app when it works


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭vinnycoyne


    Glad you got it sorted. Thanks for the help there lads!

    I'll look into the blank password issue. That doesn't sound right at all.

    Upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 wipes the stored password.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭richierichballs


    Hi, I'm having yet AGAIN another problem with this app,
    When I type out my message and I press send its comes up "logging in" then it stops.

    Doesn't go any further.
    I deleted the account on the app for my number, reset the password on vodafone.ie and setup a whole new account and still the same problem.

    Very annoying.


  • Registered Users Posts: 831 ✭✭✭CFC007


    Hi Vinny,

    In your next update would it be possible to remove the signature that 3 place on there web texts? The app works so good with the 3 site unlike VF :) Somebody in another post mentioned Jelly SMS have removed the signature and will feature in there next update. Thanks
