Guest tomdbomb61 Posted March 2, 2003 Report Posted March 2, 2003 when will this service be up and running again? as we no longer have free MMS so i cant just send free text MMS's now! thanks tom
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 2, 2003 Report Posted March 2, 2003 I hope its soon!! I really need to send an SMS to a friend in Germany and for some reason I can't text them through Orange.
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 2, 2003 Report Posted March 2, 2003 looks like Pauls removed the announcement advertising their hosting service because of this, they'd better get it up again soon as they could be loosing potential customers because of this
Guest Sp3ctre Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 Do you honestly think so? Or rather do you actually think they got any new customers because of this?.. Call be a synic, but I never even considered hosting with them... did you? Even if they did, hosting is not a big money business anymore, as there is so much competition... At 2 pence (approx) an SMS it must have been costing them a fortune!.. No surprise it's stopped! I'm not being a stick-in-the-mud about this, I just don't honestly think their business model stands up... I mean even the O2 website restricts the amount you can send.. If anyone has some figures to back up exactly how their plan can work i'd really like to know, as it was a great service!
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 Last week when I spoke to them they had at least 7 new signups with the exlusive site offer... P
Guest tomdbomb61 Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 so will the retro phone site be comming back atall then? i keep going on retrospv.info, and its bin down for about 5 days now! any other way of accessing it?
Guest Sp3ctre Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 "]Last week when I spoke to them they had at least 7 new signups with the exlusive site offer... P cool... how much do they charge for that (would look myself, but site is down still)? How does that weigh in comparison to the charges they'll be getting for the SMS?
Guest amo Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 I personally created a hosting account as a result of their free sms hateway. Its the best hosting ive ever had. A full control panel that i sometimes think has too many variables(!) all backed by a reliable fast server!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 I think they were having some trouble with the SMS provider not crediting their account. I discussed with them possilibities for maintaning the SMS service, so I do hope to see it back! P
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 3, 2003 Report Posted March 3, 2003 I hope these possibilities still allowed access using the RetroSPV program, or at least can be accessed with an updated version. I know I made it but it was one of the best things about my SPV.
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 ok guys, I can officially tell you that the site WILL be back up. I have been put in charge of it and I'm working with Asif to get it running and make it viable to keep it up. You can read the press release here: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...t=4058&start=97
