Guest Treadsoftly Posted January 28, 2003 Report Posted January 28, 2003 Actually, it works out quite good for them - i might get them to host my website - bit of business their way - take a look at the rest of their sites - delete the/spv from the address
Guest paulend Posted January 28, 2003 Report Posted January 28, 2003 anybody else know anythong about this, or is it old hat?
Guest amo Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Ive run out of credits ;) but their webhosting packages look great!
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Moral of the story.... Don't assume that just because you've resized the image to 80x80 in PSP and it is less that 6kb that it will work as an avatar (though why I don't know :roll: ). I had to reduce mine to 70x70 to get it to work (it's a cat-skeleton, for those who aren't connoisseurs of bones and stuff :-) )
Guest Carnivor Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I found this on the MSN SPV Groups Send FREE SMS messages on your SPV by logging on to http://www.retrofone.info/spv all you have to pay for is the GPRS which isn't alot because the site has very few graphics if hardly any at all. Just type in the number and write your message then click send!
Guest paulend Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 im sure ive heard that somwhere before, icant think where tho? :wink: ;)
Guest asif @ planus Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Hello, My Name is Asif, and I am the owner of the Free SMS Site, www.RetroFone.Info. We are quite new to the SMS Market, and we certainly weren't expecting the response we got, from this free sms. It is for this reason we had to take it down today. We are aiming to get it back online tomorrow, with some more features, and of course, retroSPV v1.1. We will not be logging messages, as we believe this is unethical, and it is up to the user to send what messages they want to send, however, we will not tolerate abuse of our services, and this is why we have temporarily taken the services down - to enable us to service more dilligently. RetroSPV v1.1 will have the same quick loading speed, and the same SMS sending speed, however, we will be working very hard to make the design look slightly nicer, without increasing the size. I hope this has been informative, and if you have any questions, whatsoever, please reply. Regards, Asif Alibhai RetroFone :: Part of RetroGroup International.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Cheers. Nice to see theres still some charity in the world today... ;)
Guest pipin Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 i send my sms texs through this web site it work fine have sent nearly 60 up untill now wiv no probs http://www.muddytyres.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk...artphone/sp.htm
Guest xanadu Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 http://www.retrofone.info/spv I have worked out why this has never worked for me now.. In the 'FROM' window DO NOT ENTER +44 in front of the phone number, as the message will never be sent. It now works every time for me ;)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah, that's a shame. Any chance of having that fixed guys? PS AWESOME site!
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Take it all back... I've only sent a few messages, and i'm getting 'Out of Credit' message?!? P
Guest xanadu Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 I get the same error message now Paul. ;) There are usually problems with Free SMS sites, as they become too heavily used, and they crash out.
Guest asif @ planus Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Hi. We havent crashed out. We are moving providers, becuase the current ones arent very good. As we pay for messages, and there is a minimum amount, there is no point us buying any more for the old provider- as they will get wasted. Asif
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 2, 2003 Report Posted February 2, 2003 Cool... so what's the ETA for it being back up? Do you plan to impose a limit at some point? P
Guest FragMeister Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 Until retroSPV is back up and running again a website that I have used to send SMS messages for free via the SPV is: www.textstream.co.uk You can send 20 messages per day, and as yet I have not had any Junk Txts as a result, but it does add a small footer to any message that you send advertising the website.
Guest NickPike Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 Not good for SPV website too large........ Until retroSPV is back up and running again a website that I have used to send SMS messages for free via the SPV is: www.textstream.co.uk You can send 20 messages per day, and as yet I have not had any Junk Txts as a result, but it does add a small footer to any message that you send advertising the website.
Guest ajb3000 Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Look at the RetroSPV thread for the perfect solution!!
