Free SMS messages over gprs are here! Released!

[Guest Dean123]

I thought i'd give you guys a heads up on some new software i've almost finished.

This software enables the user to send free sms messages via gprs or passthrough connection to activesync.

There are 3 parts to the program, the server(desktop pc), the client(phone) and the great http://www.genietexter.co.uk/.

1) Start the server on the pc.

2) When you want to text someone, fire up java on the phone and start this program.

It will login you into ur pc at home and once you send ur message, the server will autorun genietexter and send your message.

Simple :D

The program has an inbuilt phonebook (sorry, i don't know how to import the phones contacts).

I've got a bit of fine tuning to do, but it should be ready soon.

Here's some pics of it running in an emulator (also works with C500).

Well if I didn't have free sms on my tariff .. I'd be very interested in this app!

[Guest LaurenceBangkok]

Does anybody know how to setup the C500 for sending SMS thru GPRS ?

I have an unlimited Data Plan for a monthly flat rate and I would like to divert all SMS toward GPRS as to lower my bill..... I am sending over 2000 SMS a months.

Cheers,

You Send how many!!!

I don't think I send that many in a year...

[Guest fozzie]

Wouldn't using the telephony features of the phone be cheaper? :shock:

Updated version is now out

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A small request for an future update:

Enable the use of an '+" in the number field!

I can't test it now because SMSAC requires that. (or 07 numbers I don't use)

Thank You!

If you put your numbers into genietexter address book and grab them via the program you can use '+'s then. I will look into changing the input for that field

EDIT: Updated version just for you :D Download above

You can't - you need a phone with Java installed :D

[Guest mh_]

I was just looking for something like this :D

thanks to this i found an operator to use and did some calculations and will save 30-50% off my SMS costs (£.039/sms alot cheaper than my contract).

I do take donations :D

[Guest mh_]

I do take donations  :lol:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I would gladly do that if i used your software ;) The gateway i just started using had their own java klient that i managed to install on my PDA..

But just because you asked and I'm feeling in a good mood. You can have a donation of 20% of the money I will have saved in 6months ;)

[Guest ultimasnake]

hmm this sounds great but i'm about to stop my Gprs bundle since i don't use it that often

also the e200 doesn't support java by default so i'm rather worried about it

BUT it does sound GREAT and i'm very interested in looking into this myself (i'm about to start something diffrent but also on the sms area and so, wíll keep it a secret for now) and it does sound really nice.

I am more then willing to help with development of a .net/C++ version which would mean greater compatablity with other phones. I couldn't get my head around connections in .net so i made the java version instead.

You could try this which will probably work on the e200:
